Hey everyone, my husband who is currently living in pakistan has applied for a settlement visa for the UK. He applied in mid July but there has not been any response just yet. We have heard that it takes the full 12 weeks to process the application which is fair enough. i think the 12 weeks are over now but my husband is now saying that apparently the sponsor will have to phone the embassy and find out whats happening about the application because if i dont phone they are not going to speed up the application and if i do phone, he will get a response quicker... is this true? or is my hubby being impatient? i know at the moment, there are " severe IT problems" which is delaying all the applications but we have been told NOT to phone and enquiry about the visa application. My cousin got married 1 year and half ago and both of them, her and her hubby constantly phoned and phoned and the embassy got so annoyed that, he still waiting on his visa till this date.. I urge everyone PLEASE DONT PHONE and enquire about ur visa application because they do get annoyed and it does not help anyone.. please be patient.. but ANYWAY... can anyone answer my question and can anyone also tell me any update of anything at all.... what the latest on the visa application process?? how long will i get response? please update me... thank you!!!

The answers to your questions are in the hundred of posts above yours.You need to be patient and wait.

Dont go by figures qouted by UKBA, go by personal experience of applicants such as those in this forum

Hi

I think people who applied before July are still waiting for a response. My wife applied in June and she is still waiting. We can't go with what ever they say.

Nothing seems to have changed since the home secetary visted. It looks like the BHC still have a huge backlog.

All we can do is pray to Allah SWT

[sahdi]

hey bazzy

totally agree, nothings changed, the whole system seems to have come to a halt, noone seems to be hearing anything throgh gerrys. iam just fedup. and tired of the whole situation, its getting unbearable at times, and being patient is even more difficult.

[romeela]

Dont worry guys, i'm sure they are work faster now, as my brother wife had recieved a call on friday to collect her passport, and by the grace of allah she has got her visa and she had been waiting since 4th june 2009, inshallah dont worry guys i'm sure you lot will be getting good news soon. And i will be making lots of dua for you all.

Hi All,

My wife got a reply from BHC on friday. But one significant thing we noticed was that we emailed uk.HUB, who then forwarded the email to visa.Islamabad (BHC). So it seems UKBA have done there bit and its BHC that are slacking.

Anyone else recently recieved a generic email from BHC

[hello]

what kind of reply ur wife got

[bazzy_1]

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your e-mail enquiry. This is to inform you that to monitor the progress on your visa application/passport, please keep visiting our website www.ukvacpk.com and wait to be contacted by VAC/Gerry's when they have your passport and documents with them for delivery.

Yours truly

Well atleast they are more accurate with the stats this month.
For the last 6 months they have been showing incorrect figures. But like the great Batley Khan once told me it takes 4 months approx for them to give a decision.

I got another reply from the ukhub last friday after sending them a stronger email

this is what I sent them:

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to find out what exactly is happening with my application, I applied on june the 4th, it is now 19 weeks since ive applied and Im still waiting for a decsion . At the time that I applied I was told it would take 2 months to process and get back, It is now over four months and it is still not finished being processed,. I know perople who have applied for settlement visa after us and have got there visa's back. I do not understand why my application is taking so long. I understand you told my husbands Mp that further checks have to be made on my application but this was told to my husbands local MP six weeks ago. so please please can you chase it up and give me some detailed information onto what stage my application has reached and how much longer I need to wait, as it is getting very frustrating fo me and my husband having to wait so long.

and they replied :

Dear
As you can appreciate we have thousands of cases to deal with and your wife's application will be dealt with in turn. This is a very busy visa section and sometimes we cannot meet all the processing time, due to back logs and staff shortages.


and they replied :
I was hoping that they would give mme some idea on how much longer its going to take, but just another irritating response." your wife application will be dealt in turn" lol after 20 weeks now shouldnt it be my turn now, how long to they need

also yesterday I had some bad news that my uncle past away in pakistan, puts evcerything into context, please everyone pray for him thank you
