Hi Was,

Did your Mrs. send the above form to you once filled in or direct to your MP.

The form was sent to me by my local MP who asked me to fax it or post it to my MRS so she can fill it in and return back to me either via post or if faxed direct to my MP's office.

bazzy,

Mine was an appeal case. I re-submitted my passport on 12 June 2009 from Karachi. It would be 14 weeks by the end of this Friday.

Was,

I hope it will work in this way. MP have sent my wife a letter last week saying that he have e-mailed UKBA and will write to her when he gets any reply from them.

I hope & wish your wife have her passport back by the end of this week INSHALLAH.

bazzy,

I don't know why they refused initially. They were satisfied with everything accept my wife's income. THAT WAS REALLY A STUPID STATEMENT AND REASON. They said my wife's income was below 70 Pounds per week as for spouse settlement their criteria is 95 pounds a week, but my wife was and still earning almost 300 pounds a week, because my wife is a permanent primary school assistant teacher, and at the time of my application she was earning 1100 Pounds a month after all tax deduction. We gave them three months salary slips plus bank statement of her own savings of around 10,000 Pounds since 2007 in her personal account. her parents mortgage and accounts statement. She lives with her parents and they have a four bedroom house. Her parents signed on the declaration stated that they don't have any problem if we both live in their house for free and her solicitor gave the certificate which proves that the house is not over crowded. We gave each and every single document for the proof, but they wanted to refuse so they refused.

Hi,

This is what I hate about this system, they are so inconsistent with decisions and timescales. You can provide all your information, but there is still a chance they can refuse.

But Inshallah we all will hear somthing soon.

The night of power (LAYLA-TUL QADAR) has been blessed upon us, so we should all pray to Allah (SWT). This is the night were Allah (SWT) can change our destiny and fortune.
Regards,

Baz

hi everyone

its been exactly 12 weeks today since my hubby applied for his settlement visa...we were really hoping to get some good news by EID, my family was hoping to celebrate EID by having a huge party if my husbands visa was granted....looks like we'll just have to wait for an unlimimited time at the moment. I have no faith in the BHC whatsoever!!!!, but we have to make the most of this month and keep our faith in God all mighty, and pray that we all get through this difficult time.

Salaam Topgun,

I hope you remember me. I sent you some e-mails a few months ago. I would be grateful if you could advise me if you have sent any e-mails to the BHS since the refusal of your visa.

Kind Regards

Hello,

I have recently been made redundant, i got married in Pakistan last year my wife is currently 20, will be 21 in February next year when i was planning to apply for her Settlement Spousal Visa

However, for the Visa requirements is it imperative to provide 6 months continuous payslips from your employment?? - I am pretty confident i will find a job by the end of the year as jobs in my field are picking up, however say by February 2010 i only have 2-3 months of payslip would this be sufficient. I have over 25k saved in my bank account and own my own property and have received my P45 detailing what i earned over the last year and tax i have paid and have 12 months payslips from September 2009

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Update from my side

The Wife has got her VISA – not asked her when it was stamped etc but will get more information this evening and pass this on to all of you.
I will continue to monitor the progress off other who applied the same time as me.

I did not speak to my MP as I thought it won’t really speed up anything as they will work according to the work they have and will not single out anyone for special treatment, but it’s a good way to see how far the application is in the process.

I look forward to hearing good news from all of you as we are all in the same boat.
