Aaah I see
All the best. Keep me updated

Salaam Fizzy

Hope you're well. Any updates? Will you be calling/emailing them next week as I think your 60 working days hits next week?
Nothing from me yet

W Salam Nadeem. I have not heard anything yet. Looking at the Pakistan timeline and someone who submitted three days before me heard today so I'm hoping fri/mon I should hear. My 60 working days is complete next Thursday. I may give it some more time before I contact. This is because they may have already made a decision and it takes a few days for the application centre in Pakistan to contact the applicant.

Good luck as always and I will keep you updated. Hopefully you hear good news soon In Shaa Alahv keep me updated also.

I believe both myself and Nadeem have applied normal. Pictures need to be on A4 paper. Everything needs to be on A4 paper and in colour

Congratulations Nadeem. I'm so happy for you. In Shaa Allah everything is good for you. I just have a few questions?

Did it come with an acceptance letter? When is the letter dated? So they only called you yesterday? When did the decision get sent to them?
When was the visa approved?
When was the vignette issued?
As I'm currently still waiting to hear back from VfS since Friday when my partner handed passport.

Thank you for the help. One again congratulations, so happy for you.

Thanks Fizzy. Wishing same for you Insha Allah
Yes it came with a decision letter that was dated 26th September. Recieved no calls just a text and email yesterday to collect.
The vignette period is from 3rd October to 2nd November.

Thank you for replying so quickly. So it only really took them one day for vfs to call you from when they received the approval. Is there anything they asked your partner when she went to collect or was it just a simple collection? I'm just waiting for the email to collect. What time does the Islamabad vfs work from and too? Guessing emails etc will be sent from them so due to our four hour difference it can occur very early for us not that I kind just waiting to hear back haha. You must be so happy!

No worries.
It was a simple collection.
Vfs islamabad is open 8am till 3pm and you can collect any time
Good luck for your mrs. I can see it coming soon insha allah

Hi my partner has applied for spouse visa June 2019. We received an email on 20th September asking her to submit passport at the application centre within 21 days. Does this mean the application has been successful? Will they still require her to submit passport if the application has been refused. I would have thought an email can be sent without the passport.

She has submitted the passport last Friday but we have still not heard anything. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to hand passport back once if it's been accepted. The vfs centre we submitted is Pakistan islamabad.

Does anyone have a contact number we can contact them on? Thanks
