Hi I hope you are well. Nope, heard nothing. 43 days so far. Do you know if next email is decision email or will it just be collection email?

Hi. I'm good thanks. Hope you are too.
If you do not email them yourself and an email comes from them first it will be a collection email but if you email them to query it it will most likely be a decision has been made email followed by a collection email.
Im going to wait until the 60th working day before contacting them

I'm good thanks. Ok ye that makes sense. I will also wait until 60 working days. My partner has kept passport so I'm guessing they will contact her before hand as they will need passport to issue visa on.

Thanks Cr001, yes my partner paid extra to keep passport as she needs it to go back to afghanistan. She applied through Pakistan. The question regarding are you a national of the country you are applying from - I have entered no. Does this make a difference. Reason for this i explained the application centre is closed in Afghanistan and the government website suggests all application from afghanistan needs to go through pakistan.

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
