Hi

My Parents and Brother had thier visa Appeals Allowed on 14/1/2010. After that we have not heard any thing from anyone. Can any one tell us how long it can take and what should be expected etc

Thank you

Allowed appeals are dealt with by the Appeals Implementation Unit (AIU) in Leeds, UK. They have to officially send the Judge's Determination Letter to the overseas post before Islamabad issue a call letter. My MP got confirmation from AIU in January that they have a 6 to 8 month backlog. It is getting better but my call letter still took just over 4 months to arrive, following MP intervention.

The AIT state it usually takes 6 to 8 weeks; you should prepare yourself for a wait of up to 3 months or so.

Sorry, forgot to mention the positive which is that Islamabad seem to be taking less than a month after passport resubmission to send back ready for collection; my husband's took exactly 3 weeks to stamp and return.
