Hi I paid online when doing the application, it automatically converted the pounds to rupees , visa fee was rs/162000 and IHS charges was rs/102000 in pounds in was almost £1700
Hope it helps you, a total rip off if you ask me!!!

Hi Frqazi,

Thanks for the link, I emailed them and I received the following response:

Dear... your visa application has not been assessed yet by case worker, each application is individually assessed by independent case worker, please note that we aim to process 95% of settlement application in 12 weeks and 100% in 24 weeks.

I guess we have to wait? have you enquired regarding your application status?

Regards

Salam Everyone 1

I have been following this group from couple of years.

I have applied for my wife's settlement visa (First Application)

Online Application: 28 August 2015
Biometrics: 10 September

Emailed them for escalation thrice on 4th, 18th and 24th November. Same reply '' Still in Progress'
Wait is killing :S'

Hope every 1 gets positive reply from them.

Regards

According to your biometrics date your 60 working days should be up in another 3 working days. You never know you may hear something very shortly. Wish you all the best and do keep us posted please.

Such calls are indeed very stressful and it is your right to request such questions in writing.

Tell them politely to please write to you and that you'll happily answer all their questions in writing.

This is my time line.

First application: September 2013 at Islamabad.
Visa refused: August 2014.
Court date: July 2015. Unrepresented. Won the appeal.

In the mean time 4 Visit Visa's on Human Rights have been rejected with no right of appeal.

Now Home Office have appealed against the Judge's decision. We're waiting for an Upper Tribunal court date which the Courts said could take 12-18 months!

Home Office are using so many harsh delaying tactics. Feels like absolute mental torture. They have shown no humanity or sensitivity especially when young children are involved and being affected.

Really do not understand what is this ?did you wrote any inquiry letter to Home office ?? Why they returned your document? Did your visa refuse?if refused then you have a refusal letter with your right of appeal brother.

Salam its been2 weeks since hubby has got his visa and my documents have stil not been sent. Does anyone know how long it takes.
