ECO has not assessed the file yet! Help Required

Post by Junaidrai » Wed Sep 23, 2015 4:35 pm

Hi Everyone,

I am waiting for a decision on Tier 2 Gen. partner up to 3 years from BHC Islamabad.

following are my details:

Online application submitted: 05-Sep-2015
Biometrics and file submitted: 08-Sep-2015
Acknowledgement email from BHC Islamabad: 10-Sep-2015
Decision: waiting

I Tried to contact Enquiries team to track the status of the application and they replied: "The file has yet to be Assessed by the ECO".

Does this make sense from any dimension? ECO has not assessed the file since last 12 working days?

Has any one come across to this situation before. I am really worried about the status of my application now.

Please comment if you have any idea around this situation.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Kind Regards,

JR

I think u shud be a little patient. Its not even 15 working days yet and u are worried about your application. From 10th sept its not even 10 working days yet. First wait atleast 15 working days which is their standard processing time. When you apply your file goes on a queue. Its not that when you apply straightaway it will be seen by an ECO. They recieve hundreds of application everyday and each file goes to queue. When eco starts processing a case he may take decison on same day depending upon how straightforward the application is.
Unfortunately for Pakistan ukba only offers priority service for visit visa only.
So just be patient and relax.

Hi Mate,

First of all thanks for your time and opinion. For your kind information time starts ticking from the date of biometrics not the acknowledgement email.
Waowww! what you suggested is great, obviously it is common sense that every file goes into a Queue, as ECOs are not sitting and waiting for the files. A survey confirms that more than 90% students fail the exam not because they don't know the answer but they don't read the question carefully.

I know file is in queue, there are Eid holidays and that is why I tried to find out the status. The question is: is the status mentioned by the enquiry team correct for a file in queue or does it relate to a file that has not been allocated to any ECO. As file in a queue may have a status of "file in progress" because an ECO may take decision on the same day then in process status doesn't make any sense.

I did email them again and they confirmed (my doubt was right), that the status was last updated on 10/09/2015, which is the day when they acknowledged the receipt of the docs.

And also please, you should not be forgetting your posts before 21 sept when you were asking stupid questions about Phone numbers and cos dates and SMS chantes this and that. It happens to every one when you are waiting for a decision.
Last thing, visa vignette change the status isn't, a week ago your were questioning and see straight away became an advisor.

"EID Mubarak :) ".

Kind Regards,

JR

What I asked about cos start dates and phone no. Were technical questions as many other ppl were in same boat and had similar questions. I was not like you who kept on asking visa status from ukba just 10 days of acknowledgement.

Take a Chill pill bro, IN SHA ALLAH everything will be fine.

There is a way of advising but you were advising with taunting, and no one knows who worth what so no comment, Allah is the Greatest :) .

I wasnt taunting. Was just advising u to be calm down. I know how it feels during wait of visa. I have been through it many times. You get tempted to know update asap. But thats how it works. Last year I applied for visit visa and it took 50 days for processing. This time it took 17 days. So u never know when will you hear. I know the wait is difficult. Anyway. If u r going to london. Lets have a cup of tea/coffee together when u reach there. Goodluck. Sorry if u felt bad for anything.
