UK spouse Visa - Karachi Pakistan

Dear All ,

I am looking for support and positive feedback from all members .
I have applied for a UK - SPOUSE visa from Karachi, Pakistan ; I have submitted and made payment through online on 4th September-16 and had bio matrix in Karachi on 5th September-16.On 30th September VIA email I received response that my online application has been received in Sheffield, UK and its being prepared for consideration by visa officer and after this my wife got a call from home office for interview and they inquired about her office and work . Then again I received response via email on 15th November-16 that unfortunately the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service target.
its been more then 4 + months and I haven't received my passport .

Please help me in this regard !

I'm in the same boat as you! The wait is painful. And the sad part is I even paid for the priority service!

That's the link for status check! You'd need your GWF ref number, should be on your receipt which you got when you got your biometrics done.

Thank you so much , I have sent them an email regarding my visa status .
Hoping for something positive inshALLAH .

I got a reply from them and its again standard reply about the timeline etc. :S

Try emailing them again every week or every 10 days. Hopefully it will change. Insha'Allah:)

Yes I will again email them after few days , when did you last checked your status and what exactly they replied you ?

Hoping for a positive result for both of us and all who are waiting for their visa!

InshALLAH Ameen.

I did a status check today got a generic email stating that there have been no updates. Sucks.

pls do let me know about your visa .
Thank you.

Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 60 working days.

Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible.

We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.

this is our second application first time she refused coz some bank statements missing.
know we complete all the paper work they ask for and plus we made application Priority Visa service.

Relax , at the moment they are working on many visas and most of the applicant are recieving this email just because they are not able to meet their standard timeline.
