well to tell u the truth it doesnt really work cuz the fedex ppl hardly ever update the website so even after you get the visa the site says 'your appliction is currently under process'

hi
i got a call from fedex for my fingerscans after my 11 weeks are over so i guess its best to wait till then

Hi if you applied at islamabad then check this link out http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=101514&highlight=#101514 i don't know about others but my issue was issued on the same day though they don;t tell you that.. i suppose if there is no need to refer to the home office they give yo...

yes you have to leave within 28 days..
About extensions im not really sure, i think you can ask the embassy for upto 3 months

it doesnt matter if only you've lived together for 10 days as long as you have met your spouse thats what counts

Thanks nighat:) i got my visa 10 days before my 3 months were over. i got a phone call from fedex asking me to come and collect my passport they ofcourse can't tell u if you got the visa or not and you have to leave the country within 28 days. remember as long as you have provided enough proof in th...

Hi Nighat don't worry about the tracking website.. most of us know its of no use and they hardly ever update it.. i got my visa last week and it kept on saying my visa application is still in process! About the time required for settlement visas.. yes it does vary but according to the BHC its 12-14 ...

i don;t know if they do because i havent been interviewes but i called the number they have on the letter and the guy told me that the ECO may ask for an interview so its best to keep copies of the documents u submitted and any other that are relevant to your application

hi irfan if you havnet been to the embassy before than you need to know that no one is allowed direct access to the embassy . you have to report to the convention centre 1.5 hours before the appointmemt and from there there is a shuttle service which takes you to the BHC. make sure that your wife do...

they called me five days after my visa was issued to tell me that my passport is ready for collection.

Thank you:)
I got my visa on the day they took my fingerscans!! hard to believe but thats what it says on my passport. so i think thats what happens once you have passed the 11 weeks deadline you get a call for finger scans and after 12 weeks you get your visa for straightforward applications

Thank you everyone for your kind words. gogo i submitted the following with my application: UK visa sponsorship undertaking form our original marriage certificate plus translated version attested by foreign ministry pictures from pur wedding and some that were taken in the uk following our wedding w...

Hi all i got my spouse visa today thanks to Allah (swt). I am extremely glad and would especially like to thank this forum and everyone in it for being a source of encouragement and lots of helpful advice too:) All i can say now is keep up the good work . i would be glad to stick around this forum i...

hmm thats strange because i was told at the embassy it will take 8-10 days. and when i was at fedex i asked a few pleople who were there to collect their passports and they told me that they got theirs a week after fingersans. Maybe it takes longer if BHC has to refer any application to the home off...

who did you fax the NI number to? the courier service or the embassy
becuase i do know that the date on they tracking service refers to the time application was submitted

Hi all i was called for finger scans after my 11 weeks were over and it was a painless process really:) because once you are in the embassy they just keep calling out names one by one and you're free within 30 minutes tops. ithey might ask for an interview but i didnt see any applicants being interv...

well jamal according to the high commission website: At the BHC/BDHC, you will be required to provide your fingerscans. This should take no longer than five minutes. Once your fingerscans have been taken, you may be asked to remain for a brief interview or asked to leave. Your application will then ...

yes i got a call from fedex and they told me to come and collect my appointment letter from their office which i just did.

Hi
anyone in this forum been asked to collect appointment letter for fingerscans from fedex islamabad.. can you go there and collect the paper anytime its convinient for you (before the appointment ofcourse!) or do they give you any specific time.
Thanks in advance

hi..
I got a call from fedex today after my eleven weeks were up. i think the time limit is 11 weeks after that they call you for finger scans.
good luck all

hi well i applied 10 weeks ago and i havent heard from the embassy yet. actually it is the fedex who will call you. i think it takes longer if you have applied for a settlement visa as compared to a non settlement type. i called BHC islamabad and the person on the phone was very very rude! she told ...

mine is quite straightforward.. i actually went and lived in uk for 5 months on a visit visa before coming back to apply for a spouse visa.. didnt overstay though.. so u got a call from fedex after your 11 weeks were up and got a date for finger scans which was a week after that or was it the next d...

Good luck for your application!

Hi:) Well i submitted my application end of april at Islamabad too and i was told by the fedex people that it will take around 12 weeks and that they will contact me through telephone once my application has been processed. Anyone who has already gone through the procedure can certainly confirm or c...
