Hopefully, you recieve a response soon and so does everyone else who is waiting. There's not much we can do in situations like this except wait and wait and more wait.

Thanks Eliza
Please continue to update with any actions you take

I'm hoping to get abit of time off work to go visit my husband as it's been 2years we haven't met!

I keep thinking maybe that's why we haven't recieved a response yet. Maybe, they think our relationship isn't genuine. I did send in alot of evidence, phonelogs, over 500+screenshots of messages, pictures, and also screenshots from video call with our daughter.

I think for the sake of maintaining your relationship, that’s a great shout.

I’ve been told however that any information submitted after the application is not considered

Similarly I went to see my husband after the application and we had a telephone interview (as I think they didn’t think our relationship was genuine) and I mentioned when I last saw him but whether they take that into consideration is their choice

If you haven’t heard anything, re relationship doubts etc, I would assume all Ok until you hear otherwise

Yes, it has been quite sometime we haven't met due to me being pregnant and unwell for quite a while.

I also heard that it isn't considered aswell. Oh well, evidence won't go to waste. Who knows, we might need it for a future application

Ohh, when was your telephone interview?

That means your passport will be ready to collect very soon. They wouldn't email you to say decision has been made. They will email you to collect it straight away. It can take 15 working days to arrive at the office TLS centre or where ever you've done your biometric.

Sorry I missed your timeline and would ask again but looks like the administration will have a problem with that and I dont need someone being rude to me for no reason

Anyway I have made a few searches and have found that once u get the not straight forward email ( not sure if u did or not ) that your case gets put Into the normal pile
Meaning new priority applications take priority over your case

And sadly getting a decision could take upto 6 months from date of biometrics although many on here have gone past that date n still waiting

Anyone who applied priority recieved that email
Basically your priority has gone along with your money too

Application was submitted online on the 22nd August and Biometrics were done in Islamabad on the 27th August. I didn't pay for the priority service.

Also, we haven't recieved the not straight forward email ( not yet anyways)

I have done so twice already and we still haven't had anything back from them.

I don't know myself tbh how I've had so much patience. It is very sad as I only saw my husband when we got married 2 years ago and not again

Inshallah god will help us, after hardships comes ease. xx

Yes, I used the phone number both times and tbh they were no help whatsoever.

It has been around 20 working days since I first phoned them and still haven't heard anything back.
