Hi S4INT,S4INT wrote:Today it was working day 61 so the 60 working days ( 12 week) deadline has passed - the status is still the same.
I think the processing is being done on time but the passing of documentation from Islamabad BHC to Gerry is where the delay is.
I spoken to my MP today and will be getting her to speak to the home office on Tuesday.
I believe Was794 is in the same situation as me

What you have said does fill me with a bit of optimism, however has he mentioned if they have moved the office to Pakistan or somewhere else in London or UK.
Also if you dont mind me asking how come you took a year to apply for the settlement visa.
Hi Bazzy,bazzy_1 wrote:Hi Kayani,
I wish you the best of luck inshallah u will be with your loved one very soon.
I understand the difficulties of keeping a job in the UK especially during recession.
My situation is slightly different, My wife has applied for visa to come settle with me in the UK. We got married in April 2009. I am a british citizen and i was born in the UK. I had all the paperwork ready at the time of my wedding but had to wait on an appointment. Now im just waiting for them to make a decision.
And i just pray to Allah (SWT)

Will it make any difference if my wife comes in London after one year of getting Tier 1 dependent Visa.
Does she have to do TB test again and will be asked alot of questions at the airport?
Thanks

Hi S4INT,S4INT wrote:Hello 2036789
Yes its 13 weeks on Thursday and we both are hoping for good news inshallah.
I called Gerry up on Monday and said it was 65 working days so far so whats happening with the application - he said email Abu Dhabi - i started to laugh saying it was a settlement case.
We just have to wait....its not really long now, just feel sorry for the other half really, as everyone keeps asking her what happening and giving her negative thoughts ...just need to hang in there a little longer - Inshallah this week.
I noticed they only update the site on a Friday
will keep you posted...Inshallah this week it has to be

i know someone who applied for a student visa on the 9th of july, she had not heard anyhting from gerrys, so decided to go to lahore vac herself just to chk whether her passport was there....and guess what it was there, she collected it on the 28th august, and it was stamped on the 2nd of August!!!!!, no one contacted her and nor did her status change on the website.
i know student visas are processed more quicker than settlement visas. I have a feeling the BHC actually process the visas on time, and then the distribution of passports are the responsibility of gerrys, hence the delays.
If any of you or your partners live near the VAC where you submitted your visas, its well worth checking to see if your passports arrived.
