Cheers bud, please keep me updated when you speak to them next week or anything happens in your case..... I think we are the only two individuals who are waiting for Entry Clearnance decisions. Nobody else got this problem....

Do you know anyone apart from us guys who has applied at BHC NEW DELHI around our timelines... I know we both feel stuck as not getting much information.

Hi, On friday I emailed BHC describing my situation. They emailed this morning saying that "the UK settlement visa will take 12 weeks." I dont know what is going on. VFS is saying something and BHC is saying totally different.

I know shame on BHC, I don't think they understand 'Importance of time so called there 12 weeks in a newly married couple's Life...

As I quoted in my earlier posts they are busy dealing with more visitor visa's cases as they make more money out of it... Looks like its a number's game.. why would a settlement case take 3 months. I was informed by VFS DELHI at the time of my application than they have recieved only 2 settlement cases in past 24 days...

Hope BHC understands that standards are not improved by raising timescales from 4 weeks to now 12 weeks but employing more staff to work.

Quite right mate, I dont know what to do... It is shame on British High Commission. The only thing we can do is wait, nothing.. do update me after you speak them this week as they told you to wait for a week....

Lets see what happens this week....

I dont know what is going on..... My wife today rang BHC on the numbers you gave me.. they said now the waiting time has gone up to 21 weeks....instead of 12 weeks....

Have you got any news from your end.... Did you ring them this week? Please let me know....

Hi Members,

yeah ECO: entry clearance officer. he or she is the one who refused my settelment visa one year ago after 2 weeks from applying, so if it took more than 2 weeks that means it would be granted hopefully but might take long time. i had to appeal against the decision and i won the case after 10 months, and till now haven't got the visa yet!!!!!!!!!! although i won the case but i understood i have to wait few months before they issue the visa.
so you will get the visa hopefully but you have to be patient.

NAVBULLS - Mate my wife picked the envelope day before yesterday and booked the appointment with the doctor in delhi.. They dont provide medical facility in chandigarh... Going for medical tommorrow.. if everything goes well then another 10-12 days.. They actually returned all my original paperwork as well.. only kept her passport, nothing else.

What about yours? have you got your medical thing....

navbulls · Post by **navbulls** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 4:08 pm

Guys today I got my passport back "VISA REFUSED".... Im devastated

It just feels like BHC delhi just wanted to refuse... Entry clearence office has overlooked everything... With all supporting documents and trust me no errors they have refused me...

We just got married and were waiting for visa process to end!!! Now I have to appeal
