Hi naz08 - well it appears the norm is around 7-10 weeks.
Its difficult to advise really as there seems to be such a wide variety of feedback where some get processed quickly & others very slowly.
Just try and remain positive and patient, inshallah, it will get processed quickly

Congratulations cutesweetgal im very happy for you inshallah it will be good news, and you can finally see your hubby. Which office will he be going to?
I guess I should expect to wait another 3 weeks as I applied on 18th Aug.
its seems the processing time is around 8 weeks.
Whats this about them moving offices to dubai?

Hi All
I suppose theres nothing anyone can do at the moment ... until the VACs open.
I pray that inshallah everyone receives the news that they are waiting for and that we are all reunited with our partners. Ameen.
Keep Smiling Everyone!!
