@ king2be are saying we did the wrong thing by marrying from Pakistan, is that what you are implying? Anyway you are no one to say that marrying a British citizen is better than marrying a Pakistani one. People can leave this froum once they recieve visa etc they haven't signed a contract, but obviously staying on would be helpful to others. Look brother everyone is not like you and today I found your post a bit offensive. You behave as if you are a moderator hence you have provided useful information to others, however your manner was a bit questionable?????

more to the point, inshallah June applicants will hear soon theres a big bunch of us we got to hear at some point.[/quote]

It's very true that last couple of weeks are very slow but I fink we all need to ignore King2b... This is a Time Line forum!!! We don't need any advise couz we submitted the Applications n now we are just waiting for the results... InshahAllah all applicants ll hear good news very soon.

King2b is talking bout getting married from here but don't forget that All is planed Up there... Whoz gonna get married with who n Allah knows wots better for us...

Wots annoyies me dat I went to Isb to make sure we submit correct application with supporting documents n da Lady @ Gerrys office told us at da time of application in June dat waiting time is 10weeks. Also at dat time UKBA advertise waiting time was 12weeks!!! Now it's been 21 weeks n we are still waiting.......
We sent 3/4 emails to Isb BHC n dey replied after 1month saying the standard words"Please accept our apologies for any delay in dealing with your spouse visa application. We have experienced a high rise in the volume of applications for settlement over the last few months and this has led to us failing to meet our primary customer service target of deciding ninety five percent of applications in twelve weeks. It is still our intention to deal with the majority of applications within twelve weeks and hundred percent within twenty four weeks, but please know that we will complete your application as soon as we possibly can.
You will be contacted through visa application centre in due course, once the application has been completed. Kindly visit Gerry’s website www.ukvacpk.com  to check status of application.
Thank you for your patience,
Kind regards,"

It's just poor service couz if u check da Pak nabour country results they r completely opposite - 95% in 90days... Just a joke

Long time reader, first time poster! Just thought I'd make myself aware to all you regulars,especially those JULY applicants, u know who u are! The ones who squeezed their apps in before Tharesa May had a spaz attack on immigration law and messed it up even MORE! And KING2BE plz spare me the lecture...I know I had the choice to marry who I wanted bla bla but this is a PAKISTAN SPOUSE VISA TIMELINE discussion board, you're forgetting 99.9% of us here are subjects of ARRANGED MARRIAGES, leave that stuff for jeremy kyle or something. Anyway, my wife's spouse visa timeline is below. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those in the mix right now... shazia, solospy, haroon, alyzah, hkamy, topgun, ALL of u, i've been followong for a while.
I've been here for 2 years give or take, I've seen so many selfish individuals come and go, they come on here cry and whine about the long wait, some stick around if they have to appeal, but the majority leave this forum as soon as they've got their VISA, let's see if you stick around.

Almost everyone in the immigration field will tell you and you know yourselves, that marrying a foreigner comes at a great financial cost (contrary to popular belief that it's cheaper to marry someone back home) and emotional strain too. Look at all of you tossing and turning every night because "you miss your janu". I will continue to state this to everyone who plans on getting married in the future, marry someone from the UK, the girls/boys here are just as good, well educated and beautiful if not more than anyone you try and marry back home.

Anyone who plans on marrying in the near future and applying for a VISA must realise how long the wait is, how stressful it is, one look at this thread and they'll see it for themselves.

How many of you step away from your own situation to realise that the fact is, the grass is not always greener on the other side?
King2b98 you are just here to pick up a fight, to argue, to be negative, to piss people off who are already frustrated and angry.

If i were you, i would rather leave this board then to piss people off with negative comments.

And dont give that BULL**** that you have helped a lot of people along the way. Every one is doing his bit on this board. You are not alone.
Lol i quite like the things king2be says, its all true at the end of the day, he's just being realistic

Feel sorry for Haroon!!! and now my mind is dandling for all the possible scenarios that my app can get rejected on *Sigh**
Allah is the biggest planner and to be happy with what so ever he has chosen for us is the right thing to do and best for us.....
