To be honest, im pretty sure (maybe its me being optimistic) that we wont have anything to worry about since the long delays are due to a backlog the UKBA are facing and the applicant is not at fault here. With D-W I think with her they screwed her Bio's up so was different to TB Certificate. I dont...

6 months i think?

S4INT - Did you actually call the BHC on the above numbers to get this 4-5 days timeline from them or was it Gerrys?

Might get my wife to give them a call as well as our application was submitted around same time and same VAC as yours & 2036789's.

Let me know as it would be such a relief S4INT!

Yosh! I applied for my Mrs on 11th June so we're on ... 55 working days! So good news next week for me and the wife inshallah. Looked at the stats on the UKBA website and it shows for Settlement Visa's they completed 98% of them within 60 days by the month of July, which I guess is heartning. Let us...

sweet. thnx was794

Was794 - I am in the exact same position as yourself. My wife applied on 11th of June from LHE and I also contacted my MP and I received the same response of "The agreed time for processing a settlement visa is 95% within 12 weeks and 100% within 24 weeks". We are both on our 10th week and basically...

Hi Batley Kahn - Yeah ... it is really bad news... Batley if I can get an opinion from your self Sir! Basically my wife applied for her Settlement Visa so this news has hit me hard, but she applied from LHE on June 11th about 5 weeks ago and the average time they have been processing for LHE has bee...

Its great to hear this bro, which means inshallah me and m_z should be hearing something this week or next week .. inshallah.. please do due for us RM786. Will certianly do dua for you bro!

Salam M_Z - My wife applied on 11th June in LHE for Settlement Visa ... where did ur wife apply from. Inshallah we'll get the visa's pretty soon. Have you contacted them via email to get an update? They did quote that they are taking anywhere between 4 - 6 weeks (6 weeks for LHE) to process applicat...

Mubarak Kamran!! Im really happy for you yaar! Inshallah it will be a granted visa!! Inshallah my wife's Visa will come back soon as well! Inshallah

Salaam Irritated Sponsor - (gotta love that name!)

I am also in the same position as you and Kamran. Plz do let us know the outcome of the second email you sent them. Inshallah, hope they speed things up!

@FARIDjan Does it say "FORWARDED TO BHC ON" or "FORWARDED TO ISLAMABAD OC ON", because both of them are different. Does anyone know the TRUE difference? My wife submitted SETTLEMENT Visa Appl. in Lahore and the online status has said "Forwarded to ISB OC on" since the very start (9th June). but it s...

oohh yeah.. sorry .. forgot u were applying as dependant. I've been soo focused on Settlement that I've forgotten others.

Let us know how it works out for the Abu D call - also, do you have the number for Abu Dhabi? Salam & thanks

Almas - I would give both the Abu Dhabi & the Lahore VAC a call and give them your application number and find out the status. From most of the other ppl who posted on this forum, after they called Abu Dhabi or Lahore, their status changed on the website after a couple of days ... Call them today, I...

Salaam jonny / kamran ... I am in the same position as you guys. my wife submitted docs just recently. Submitted - 9th June Status on Website - "forwarded to ISB OC on" I' have no idea what the status means, or if its a good thing or not? Did u guys receive the same status when application was submi...
