the reason why i say 41 days is the British high commissioner mentions it in a recent interview that 95% are being turned around in that time.
Any Comments??
Maybe 95% are being done don't forget there is still 5% that take longer......sorry to say maybe u are one of them. Just be patient everything happens for a reason and when the time is right then you will get an answer. You can email them and see what they say to you.
Some times the longer they take the more likely you are to get granted a visa.....

I am on my 44days today so....
thts why i said contact them then knw wts happenin with ur application but nooooooo u r waitin for 60 days
But everyone who have had their visa granted said there is no point contacting them until your 60days are over?
They are speaking from experience. I dont even know my husbands passprt number and all that to e-mail them
No point contacting Gerry's all they will say is what you can find on:
https://www.vfsglobal.org/ukg-passportt ... atus1.aspx?
they can't/won't provide you with any other information except for that it can take 26 weeks and when we get the documents we will contact you etc....

@b. flower
Where have you been? Need your duaas. People who got their visas they are not regular here.
Have you started cooking or still learning.........

There is a logical reasoning for this. Zahra, please tell other people why it is 110?

personally i dont think there is any point in contacting gerrys or bhc as the bhc will respond to your email saying that there still doing checks and they have 12 weeks to do it...people who have passed there 60days got the response that they are still undertaking there checks...
dont want to put a downer on anyone but we just have to stay patient

i was really stressed as to what gonna happen with hubbys application..i couldnt eat or sleep...but i did istikhara..on this neeyat that ya Allah plz guide me as to what i should do..do i need to find another job quick if this will affect the application or will everything be alright...and Allhamdullilah i got a very good dream that same night which put my mind to rest...
