I don’t know what section I’m meant to post this under, but yeah.. I’m supposed to be travelling to Pakistan this Sunday, and two weeks ago I applied for a new NICOP card as my old one expired last month. My question is, can I travel with my expired NICOP in case the new one doesn’t arrive in the ne...

I’m so annoyed because again today I’ve been told that as my husband is travelling for the first time on his spouse visa, he can’t travel for more than 2 weeks? I don’t think this is true but if someone could confirm it? My husband will be travelling on Sunday for 24 days, is this okay?

Hi, my husband received his UK spouse visa at the end of November 2018 and he came to the U.K. on 13 December. Are there any travel restrictions for him? There’s a family emergency in Pakistan where he’s from, and he needs to go at the end of this month for 24 days or so. Is this okay? Will it affec...

Probably on the same day. InshaAllah you receive passport with the visa.

Thank you so much! My husband got the visa this morning.

I'm stressing out SO much. Just an hour ago, my husband received a text message saying "The processed visa application for GWF********* was received on 11/27/2018." This means that his passport has been received at Gerry's Islamabad. Oh, god. I feel like I'm going to be sick. How did this happen so ...

Hi! I too was so nervous, but thankfully I answered every question confidently. And I knew what kind of questions they were going to ask, as they called in our first application too. I applied using 1 job, and the call was 21 minutes long. The guy who did the interview actually seemed nice, not rud...

I received a call an hour ago from the Home Office, asking mainly about my employment. I received this call in my last application too, and I think it went good. Thankfully, I didn’t answer anything wrong. The call lasted 21 minutes, and the guy seemed nice enough. My employer received a call strai...

Hello , Was it a priority applications ? and in which country the application was made? Hey, I did pay for priority, but I don’t think they took that into account because it’s my second application. My case is not straightforward because this is our second application, and this is the sixth week af...

If you got paid holidays then why not visit him. All you can do to insert good amount of credit in your sim and activate the roaming to receive any HO call. I do get paid holidays, and my employer himself told me that I can go to visit my husband if I want, but I’m not sure. I really don’t want to ...

We live and learn. Next applications you will be an expert by then! Sometimes things happen as a blessing in disguise. Perhaps having the first refusal made you both stronger. Things happen for a reason. If you think positively like this you will have much easier time waiting. Your husband is stres...

I have seen countless cases where the sponsor goes crazy, restless, depressed and suicidal trying to get the application to UK, but shortly after they break up and the same person wants to know how to get a divorce. Honest advise to you from someone who has seen many cases, especially from Pakistan...

I would personally not leave the country at all until a decision is made. Some applications take longer than other, it all depends on the individual case. Having 2 children would have made the application perhaps less straight-forward. Try and be patient. When it's the right time to get the visa, i...

Some people get a decision around the 60 days mark, others 90 days and some have been waiting months having applied earlier in the year in April/May. Yes, I don't even want to think about how long it could take! I know someone who applied in April, and are still waiting for a decision. Which is so ...

Why are you so confused. It's plain and simple, does visiting him and risking a refusal if home office call and cant find you, out-weight not visiting him? If it's between life and death or some major emergency which requires you to go to Pakistan then I would wait until a decision is made. If it's...

Yes they could call again. It is a completely new application and all the same checks are done again. Yes, HO has full access to the refused application. You will likely have a longer wait, most are not getting decisions within 60 days even for priority applications. I'm glad that they have access ...

Topics merged. You can travel to visit, no restriction but obviously if HO tries to call you, then it could be an issue. You should also note that paying for priority was a waste as you don't qualify for priority service if you have been refused in the past, as the VFS website very clearly states. ...

Online Application: 2 Oct 2018 Biometrics/Passport Submission in Islamabad: 9 Oct 2018 Documents sent to Sheffield: 9 Oct 2018 Documents received in Sheffield: 10 Oct 2018 Documents sent back: 27 Oct 2018 Non-straightforward email received: 9 Nov 2018 (after 24 working days) I made the mistake of pa...

Maybe a automated email. Reply back with proof of delivery i.e. tracking number / screenshot of signature of delivery It is an automated email, but I'm still extremely worried. What if they've misplaced my documents? Is there any way of finding out whether they have them? And I can't reply back to ...

Hi, I applied for my husband's spouse visa, I submitted the online application on the 2nd of October. He submitted his passport and biometrics in Islamabad on the 9th, and on the same day I sent the supporting documents from here. I tracked the parcel, and found out that it was delivered the next da...

Hi, I applied for my husband to join me in the UK from Pakistan in May 2018 (non-priority). Today, we found out that it got refused and it was our fault. This is what it says for the reason for refusal: Suitability: Your application does not fall for refusal on grounds of suitability under Section ...

This is really saddening to hear that just due to this tiny form they refused you. I also applied on 9th May 2018 non- priority but have not heard anything yet, I am also keen on finding out your timeline if possible. I know, right! I'm so annoyed, because it was the only reason for refusal and it ...
