hi bazzy the key to getting a response out of them is to be persistant. When my hubbys 12 weeks passed i mailed them and had no response. After a week i mailed them twice a day 2 days in a row, by the third mail, i had a response. Unfortunately its was generic message that they send to everyone to ...

Hi Batley Khan,

Do you rekon it is pointless emailling them, my wife application is coming to 15 weeks tomorrow. We did email UKHUB after the 12 weeks passed but still have not heard any reply.

Thanks for your help

Hi

Sorry,

Forgot to mention it is a settlement visa. I was just assuming, logically people who applied in Islamabad would get there visa quicker once a decision is made as the gerry's office is more local to BHC in comparison to Karachi.

Hi,

Anyone who applied from the Karachi office heard a reply on there visa. My wife applied in late June and still no reply, nearly 15 weeks now. Just wndering what the response is like from Karachi office?

Hi Layla, That sounds ridiculous, And in that case i met my wife in feburary 2009 we got engaged, we took photos of the engagement, i kept in contact with her when i returned to Uk via letters. 6 weeks later i was back in Pakistan to get married.

May be some of you fellas coming over from Pakistan, should read this article of what life is like in England.

I bet this article will not help any of our visa with BHC, regardless of how genuine our marriage is.

Bazzy bro 1 of my family friend got his visa last month and his TB test was expired and gerry's advised him to renew hs TB test b4 leaving otherwise he will face problem at Hethrow or any airport in UK. Cudnt undrstand why they gave hm pasport b4 TB clearence bt hs previous TB test was normal. Kaya...

I understand she will need her passport to renew the TB test. So will the best course of action be to wait until they contact her about it? You have to to do one sooner or later, (if it expires) so why not do it sooner, so its ready when they ask for it, otherwise you might have to wait 2/3 weeks t...

Hi Batley Khan, Could you please give me some advice. My wife's TB test is now coming to expiry date. She got the test done just after we got married in April, but eventually applied for the visa at the end of June. We have been waiting for about 14 weeks now without any reply. I would like to know...

Hi Sabah /Learner007,

Which gerry's office did you apply from, and what is the online status of the applications?

Its maybe an idea to try the gerry's office maybe they still have the paperwork.

Well guys..look at the stats for the months of AUG 09 for visa processing guide line time. Its shows only 258 settlement visa applications were sent to UKBA from Pakistan. I dont think there are much appeal cases in those settlement cases application on allowed appeals. seems there are not working ...

They said my wife's income was below 70 Pounds per week as for spouse settlement their criteria is 95 pounds a week, but my wife was and still ...
