Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan

Hi All,

My wife got a reply from BHC on friday. But one significant thing we noticed was that we emailed uk.HUB, who then forwarded the email to visa.Islamabad (BHC). So it seems UKBA have done there bit and its BHC that are slacking.

Anyone else recently recieved a generic email from BHC

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your e-mail enquiry. This is to inform you that to monitor the progress on your visa application/passport, please keep visiting our website www.ukvacpk.com and wait to be contacted by VAC/Gerry's when they have your passport and documents with them for delivery.

Yours truly

Well atleast they are more accurate with the stats this month.
For the last 6 months they have been showing incorrect figures. But like the great Batley Khan once told me it takes 4 months approx for them to give a decision.

I don't know how they worked it out that appeal was out of time. from 19th August when recieving documents it was until 28th Sep. So I was not out of time in sending apeal. What they playing at.

I am so upset my MP is know writing to them to explain. I have done all that in letters. Ohhhh also they cant tell me anything because it is my hubby's appeal.

I got another reply from the ukhub last friday after sending them a stronger email

this is what I sent them:

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to find out what exactly is happening with my application, I applied on june the 4th, it is now 19 weeks since ive applied and Im still waiting for a decsion . At the time that I applied I was told it would take 2 months to process and get back, It is now over four months and it is still not finished being processed,. I know perople who have applied for settlement visa after us and have got there visa's back. I do not understand why my application is taking so long. I understand you told my husbands Mp that further checks have to be made on my application but this was told to my husbands local MP six weeks ago. so please please can you chase it up and give me some detailed information onto what stage my application has reached and how much longer I need to wait, as it is getting very frustrating fo me and my husband having to wait so long.

and they replied :

Dear
As you can appreciate we have thousands of cases to deal with and your wife's application will be dealt with in turn. This is a very busy visa section and sometimes we cannot meet all the processing time, due to back logs and staff shortages.

and they replied :
I was hoping that they would give mme some idea on how much longer its going to take, but just another irritating response." your wife application will be dealt in turn" lol after 20 weeks now shouldnt it be my turn now, how long to they need

also yesterday I had some bad news that my uncle past away in pakistan, puts evcerything into context, please everyone pray for him thank you

Are you sure about your facts. You say your application got rejected on 8th May, but you didnt get refusal notice till 18th August ( thats nearly three and a half month later......!!!!!!).

I dont think that is right. Where has the refusal notice being for over 3 months???. Have you got proof that you recieved in August?.

On the times you have given above, you are well over the time limit by which you have to get your papers in ( ie May - August) and therefore AIT were right to say what they have said to your MP.

A: July fifteenth.
O: What year?
A: Every year.

TOPGUN my husband handed his passport in on 4th june at mirpur vac but we have not got it back yet. i think i posted you a note on a different forum too.

Hi Was,

That was Hilarious.
BTW have you heard anything new about your wifes visa or you still waiting.
My wifes application is approaching 17 weeks and still no news.

Batley Khan - In your opinion is it worth contacting my MP, or can this have a negative effect on my wifes visa application. As people on the forum have contacted there MP but it hasnt really seemed to speed up the process

Praying to Allah SWT that things get better soon for all of us

Salaam to all

Just that all know - if you text or phone from mobile to mobile from england to pakistan to your spouse - you can register (orange pay as you go members only) your mobile online and get call/text history as proof that you have been in contact with your spouse. Just a suggestion as its difficult to prove with calling cards - and if your mobile isn't on contract its not possible to provide this proof.

All you do is visit the site register your number and the site allows you to access call history.

An update on my husbands visa progress: we sent the appeal on the 3rd of OCT and got a reply today that a pending hearing date will be sent after 26th FEB 2010! Very heart breaking to have to wait until after this date so....

Wish the rest all the best.

Salaam
