It means your application has been looked at and a decision has been made to either grant or refuse visa.

Only way for you to find out the outcome is to contact people on the phone number given in teh email which will be Gerrys where you initially lodged the application

Hi everyone, I have some more details regarding my wifes visa. My wife has collected her passport today, she has been granted a visa for 2 years & 7 months, but what has suprised me is that the passport has been stamped on 20/1/2010. That means our visa was stamped 1 month & 3 days ago. Gerrys did not bother to tell us, Even though i sent Gerrys a email they failed to tell us that our passport was ready for pickup. My wifes passport was on there desk for over a month before they decided to contact us.

From what i know visa process is taking around 3 months these days. For those brothers and sisters still waiting, I recommend you send an email once a week to your application center, or where your passports have been submitted. DONT rely on gerrys as they wont bother to contact you, Like they did with us.

Inshallah you will All recieve good news in the coming days. My wife is booking her seat tommorrow. :D

Musab_27, Thanks brov I wish you all the best too, Please remeber us all in your prayer, As I will pray for you all.

Hi people, Gerrys staff can only give you a status update on your passport, they cant give you a time frame as to how long it might take. The passport process these days is around 3 months.

Samzen Brov you should recieve your passport in the next 2 weeks. Keep praying Inshallah all will be well. I got married on 19th March 09, Its been almost 1 year since ive been away from my wife. With the blessings of allah the long wait has finally come to an end, I'm looking forward to our 1st anniversary together.

Dont worry samzen your passport will be coming very soon.

Congratz ! sam-zen, at last a ray of hope for me and others who submitted in january.

I called Abudhabi yesterday on 2 numbers, on one a goora i suppose, with a bad accent picked up and after telling him that im from karachi,pakistan and want to know my application status he gave me a number to contact, i desperately noted it down but with great difficulty due to line disturbance, asking him to repeat it 3 times and then bye, thanks said the goora, when i rang at it, it was gerry 0900... some number. OMG i was so furious at that time, then rang at another no this time a lady operator i suppose a local from abudhabi picked up asked for passport no and name and after that bang! your visa is still in que to process or under process dont remmebr which one she said.

i submitted my pp on 15 jan 2010 (student Allowed Appeal) and have extention till 8th march.

But i mean sam-zen contacted them yesterday and they said still in process and the next day Gerry called his wife to collect passport. WOW. Mubarak ho!. But wait a min whats going on why are they not giving accurate information ?

Everybody just keep praying for yourself and others too. InshAllah soon will be over this time of difficulty and patience, Allah always do whats best for us. So everybody don’t worry.

Asalam o ALykum to All Forum Mates

Full Story Here
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... highlight=

Cutting the Long story short.

Won the HSMP appeal and re-applied for Entry clearance in the start of Dec 2009, Received a call from BHC in Mid December 2009 from this number 051-2012000 that the HSMP approval letter you have submitted is expired and you need to submit a new HSMP Approval Letter to BHC Islamabad. I tried to convince/tell many people got their visa stamped with the expired HSMP approval letter, the letter expired due to the appeal decision delay and quoted some of my colleagues example but he said that you have to provide the fresh HSMP approval letter

So I applied for the reprint of the HSMP letter to the HSMP Team and despatched my all the relevant documents to the the Home Office though DHL courier , telephoned them in the start of Jan 2010 and told that my documents were received before Christmas so please issue me the reprint.

I continued to call them about thrice a week and they said that they have not received my documents , I told them the exact date and the name of the person who collected the documents and signed and their answer was that we are not denying that that you have not sent but we have not received and our computer system is not updating the status that your application for reprint has been received.

After that I faxed may application and other relevant documents (9 pages) about 4 times still they said that system is not updating that my application is received. After that around Mid February 2010 I called them and at the same time faxed the application along with documents and then the person said that you application is received .

I received the Reprint of HSMP approval letter by post and have submitted the original reprint of HSMP Approval letter to BHC Islamabad through TCS.

I applied for HSMP in 2006 when the score was required was 65.

I am totally unaware about the

1) Current processing times
2) After how much time I will receive my passport back.
3) My passport to expire in end Aug 2010.
4) Should I email

Abu Dhabi BHC email address
visa.abudhabi@fco.gov.uk
Islamabad BHC emails
visqry2.islamabad@fco.gov.uk
caseworker.islamabad@fco.gov.uk

What to do ? :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Forum members suggestion/advise will be highly appreciated.

Regards
