Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan

The secretary also asked if I knew the applicants passport number as it might help speed up any response from the UKBA..I told her the name, DOB and reference no. should be sufficient..I didn't know the passport no.
I'm so so soooooooooooo worried now...

InshAllah when you receive the decision you will look back and think "why did i get worried?"

SF786 wrote:Ok I'm worried now! Does that mean our visa has been refused? The secretary said that she will still contact them and let me know if they tell her the decision...

Don't worry! Worrying won't change the decision, but Dua will.

Just know that whatever the decision it is there is a greater benefit in it.

Many times we have to face realities that we don't like but Allah is testing us to see our reaction.

May Allah make it easy for all of us waiting and increase us in Patience.

C4_2007, Yousafa and tasawar thank you so much for your duas and reassurance! I pray the same for all of you.

I know I shouldn't worry and should just do dua. It's just batleykhan's earlier message got me slightly worried Ok, no more worrying from now on! I've lost half the hair on my head already, better try hold onto the other half! Whatever will be will be

Salaam All,

Please can someone help me with the following.

When my husband submitted his application at Islamabad, Gerrys told him that the original documents stay in Islamabad UK embassy and that the photocopies and passport are sent to Abu Dhabi?!?!

I THOUGHT...that the originals and passport stay in Islamabad and that copies of the application and supporting documents are sent to UK for the decision to be made.

I also thought that Abu Dhabi didnt have anything to do with settlement applications?!?!

Please can someone shed some light on this?

A really CONFUSED Zar2009!!!!

Maybe the guy in Gerry's had a slip of the tongue?

Best way to find out it by checking your receipt:
Check:

1. Category : {Should read Settlement....}

2. Fee : Does it correspond to the latest fee on the ukvac website?

3. If your still not satisfied send the vac an email: isbvacmgr@gerrys.com.pk

Hi all...

Sorry if this has been discussed already (not read the latest posts) but is there something going at the BHC in Islamabad?.. I heard some rumour that they are being investigated for not processing applications correctly.. Us this true? What's the latest with this?..

Also, does anyone gave a contact number for the BHC to check progress on an application? It used to be
00 92 512098999 but it's no longer in use/disconnected... Thanks

They asked for my wife's passport number. They said reference number is not required. name , dob and passport no. Well she said the visa is issued on 06/07/10 and awaiting stamp. well thats what she said i am not getting my hopes up untill i see the passport stamp.

Thanks C4_2007

I will check this and confirm. I am pretty sure that the receipt is settlement as my husband sent me an e-mail straight after submission.

Gerry's staff need to think before they speak!

did you email your MPs for replies? have they/UKBA responded?

I emailed mine on Saturday, received a reply from his secretary today:

Thank you for your email to MP. Mr will contact Visa Services at the UK Border Agency and request that your wife’s application is processed as soon as possible. He will send you a copy of his correspondence in the post.

No further response as of yet, I did however reply to the secretary asking for the decision if possible.

Please could some one tell me what this means?

Visa application is under process at the British High Commission then it shows a date in format MM/DD/YY. It was not showing before from yesterday i checked and there is a date next to it.

Can some tell me what this means i applied end May 2010 Islamabad!

Inshallah Kaidee you will hear good news!

Praying for all Inshallah!

naz786 i noticed the exact same thing today.it said 6/7/2010 which if i recall is supposed to be 8/6/10 when the status changed to 'application is being processed at BHC'. has anyone else noticed this? and what does it mean??

I noticed the exact same thing...before it just said visa application is under process at the BHC, now mine has a date 05/20/10 next to it

I know about loosing hair, i got alopecia around a year ago

The date on the online tracking system (for my application) is 2 days before I got the text message to say that my application is under review, so I assume that's all it can be.

Confused.com and Yousafa,

You guys are one week ahead of me so its means we will inshallah hear good news together.

I think they want the applicants to know that they are processing the cases??? I have asked my husband to contact gerry's and ask them?

SF786, dont get stressed with things inshallah be patient and you will hear good news how many weeks has it been for you? You will hear from them! Do read this link?

AOA,

Kaidee I applied at start of May. My 12 weeks have been up for a few days now and I thought I'd leave till for a while to see if I get the update to collect passport....but I've had nothing.

So I've contacted MP and he has sent something off. (I never thought it would come to this to be honest)....

insha Allah I'm doing lots of dua we get the visa asap and it doesnt drag like it has for previous members.

snipered, farahussain, c4_2009, others who's 12 weeks are expiring - how about you guys? any progress?[/b]

The date on the tracking is a day before my husband got the text about the application being processed at BHC. Maybe they are fixing up and getting into gear now, who knows. Has anyone on here actually heard before the 12 weeks being up?

Has anyone's employers been contacted in there 8th week?

Has anyone's employers contacted them in there 8th week?

Salam Naz786 - I believe my application has been processed but I've had no employer contact.

Aoq, Rhussain07

When did you submit your application and where, and how long it's been???

no word about my employer being contacted.im on my 9th/10th week now.
