Dear All.

I posted this reply in some other forum on this website and Hamakhaa asked for it here thats why I am posting that post here as well:

Hi all.
You can now get an estimate on how much time your application will take from the monthly service standards published on uk visa website. I think you can find the link on the home page under latest news section. I dont know how realistic those standards are but they just give an idea depending on which vac you applied from. Hope this info helps.

Here is the link:

http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply ... singtimes/

On this page you will find a link to a PDF file, you can search the Visa Application Center you applied/intend to apply from and you will get the processing times averages of December 2008 for that center. Link to PDF is as follows:

The economic conditions are getting worst in UK and Labour Union are protesting and demanding ban on foreign labour.

Please gothrough the following URL
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7859968.stm

I think its more viable to go for Canadian Immigration as they are now processing applications in 6-12 months.

Guyz, I think we should write Gerrys to make a change in their website. The website should read as "DECISION ARE MADE WITHIN 15 WORKING MONTHS"....

Assalam-o-Alaikum:

@hamakhaa

Don't worry mate, I am going to tell you something below, read it and just relax and ofcourse, be patient with DUA for urself and others as well.

@Flakhany
wowww...Many Many congratulations to you flakhany and Thanks alot for wishing us(specially me) GOOD LUCK. May ALLAH Bless you forever- Aameen.
May I please request you to keep posting here and help others, even if u've got it coz. I have seen ppl disappearing from forums once they got their visa. Hope, u will not repeat the history :wink: May I know, where did you apply from(city)?Have you got verification call(previous employer)? Plz update...and keep praying for me plzzz...GOOD LUCK for your future endeavors.

@ALL

I was going through the same prblm of chngin that status as well.By working out on that, I come to know that I am getting two seperate msgs from two seperate links (web). When I saw my status by going through the "www.ukvacpk.com" and track your passport link, then it is this new msg now, ISLAMABAD OC.. but if I saw it on vfsglobal.org/ site, it is still same,"Application forwarded to BHC Isb on 16th dec". So, I personally feel that, there is a problem in ukvacpk.com site for tracking, coz this was also giving me status as INVALID SEARCH couple of days ago. So, better to track ur application from vfsglobal.org. Also, as flakhany said the status of the application even after the passport collection, is : forwarded to BHC :lol:

So guys, no need to worry about this status to me. Look! what is ur status on www.vfsglobal.org/applicationstatus.aspx and share plzzz...

Hope it helps out u people...

GOOD LUCK to everyone including me...

Regards,

Zeeshan
