Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[i.need.help]

The last thing I wanted to do was appeal but had no choice

All I want is for the tribunal to give me a review date or send me a notice of appeal letter.

Its been over a month not heard anything

An appeal is always a choice.

Hey ... Im getting paranoid with my bank statement that i submitted with my app if someone can help me please .... I called my natwest bank and asked them to send me 6 mnths of bank statements in the post which they did. I took it to branch and they said that this is sent straight frm the headoffice and doesnt need to be comfirmed as its on their headed paper.
Anyone else submitted bank statements that they ordered by calling the bank and recieved in post? And are they ok ?????

I did, Natwest wont stamp them anymore and my address was only on the first page so ended up sending a whole years statement. I had no other choice but to send it. Not heard anything from BHC yet.

No point in getting paranoid now this wont change the outcome..As far i know if the statements were on headed paper then there is no need for them to be stamped/signed.

They called 1st to let him know that they are going to post the letter and send a e-mail too. I think the letter might come next week but we had the mail today. Just he is just going to print out the mail...

Hey, has your husband got his letter come through the post yet or not? I am still waiting.

Plus you have to pay £500 NHS charge if not visa will get rejected

Yh i read that aswell so sad that is so basically anyone applying for a visa after 6 april will need to pay £956 +£500 = £1456 and then u can apply for the visa

Salam alaikum all. I recieved the paper work today with the reason for refusal on the review stage which is: (the original entry clearance application was refused due to HMRC not having any employment records for the financial year 14/15. On the appeal the apellant submitted letters from HMRC confirming employment, however the letters did not confirm how much the sponsor earns annually. I am therefore not satisfied)....

How stupid is this ECM!!!! Im going to reapply quickly now

Assalam ul alaikum brother,
Its really silly reasonthey gave but i think you shouldn't give up.Inshallah it will get sorted at hearing stage.Also with ongoing appeal you can also re apply.At least give them some tough time.Did tribunal send you the letter about refusing at the review stage.When did your appeal registered?looks like your case been dealt so quickly which is unusual.Did they give you any hearing date?

Salaam ,

I heard that when u go to submit your docs at the vac, they offer u a fast track service where they ask u to pay an extra 5000 rupees, i cant find anything on theor website, does anyone know more about this?

[Ibbzy]

No bro no date given yet. But i moaned and emailed and requested the bundle. Just stated that i should put in any new evidence before the 15th of may. Im gonna reapply and talk to them in the appeal

[Mrs K]

Yh on the same day.... just after she ends the call..when was ur appeal allowed?

I think this Monday gone by they tried to call but no one answered then they rang on Tuesday and someone answered. But they ring to confirm address and to let you that they are going to send a letter. I rang the Tribunal in England yesterday and they said they got a email which said it was changed on Monday too. Hopefully both of our partners get the letter on Monday. I am planning to call the high commission if that isn't the case with me just to see what is happening.

[Laiba1234]

@salma123aslam I submitted my appeal on the 09/02/15 I haven't received nothing as of yet. I called up the tribunal a few days ago and they told me that they will be sending my appeal of soon. Lets just hope inshallah our appeals get overturned quickly.

[Laiba1234]

@Ibbzy If you went to court you would definitely get your visa. The ECM clearly is being unjust. The ECM could of easily rang HMRC and asked how much your annual income is. This is all a joke to them playing with people's lives. They just have no remorse what so ever.

[Ibbzy]

@laiba i know, but i dont know how long it will take with the appeal. I think i will probably just reapply.

[Shreen]

Are the BHC in pakistan have a day off on monday as i believe all pakistan are on a day off ??? Im trying to see on their website but cant see anything

There is no fast track spouse visa service. This is complete BS was confused about it when my husband told me basically this is what I and my husband think Gerry's offer a VIP lounge service for an additional charge when you book and appointment they ask you about having the VIP option for an additional charge. We think not many applicants opt for it so they are selling it another way. Due to most cases being assessed fairly quick they are manipulating that to there own gain. Who wants to be at the vac for leisure purposes that you need a whole lounge?! All you want to do is give your papers and get your passport at the end of it.

salam alaikum all, im thinking of reapplying, can i use my old visa4uk account to put in the second application or should i make another account?
