[ccyrex]

thanks cheeza.
actualy i have already waited so long thats y i m much frustrated now of this uk visa thing.
i applied on march 2009 then i was refused and appealed against the decision, i won my appeal on aug 2009 and submitted my passport to bhc on november 2009. but refused again coz college didnt verify me(as BHC Said). then i appealed again on feb 2010 and won again on aug 2010.but this time agian i m waiting for call letter and all that stuff again.
its been such a long and painfull time 4 me.i dont no y r they taking time again?i thout situation wudnt b same again. but unfortunatly it is still da same. phoooti takdir

My mother handed her passport to BHC on 29th Sep after appeal allowed. Has any one any idea how long will it take before we get passports back. Is it worth reminding Dubai office off and on to expedite the matter. Many thanks.

Hi ccyrex

I see you first applied 3 months before my husband so I understand your frustration.

The waiting times are so long at the moment because I think so many people are hoping to get their visas before the rules change and the english tests are introduced.

I wish you well and hope you receive your visa soon.

Good Luck

I am new in this forum, My setllement visa has been refused on february 2010, my husband appealed against the decision and we had our hearing on 09/09/2010. The Judge said to my husband, it is OK, but until now we have no received any news, what happen, is it normal? please tell me, thank you very much

[sunnyboy786]

Wait for the reply.Usually they take 2 weeks before sending you appeal allowed notice. Best of luck.

Hi Scan_me

I'm fine thanks and you?

Hubby submitted passport on 22nd September but we haven't heard anything yet.

I suppose we join the queue with everybody else waiting for a stamped passport and I've heard some are taking up to 16 weeks now.

I'm still praying he can be here before the end of the year.

I will let you know as soon as we have any news.

[ccyrex]

hi everybody
i m appeal allowed student
i submitted my passport on 8th november. can anybody tell me how much it will take to get visa?

[mimimacha]

I have received my determination since 6 weeks, but no news about the call letter, Hope will have news soon

[mrsahmed]

we recieved an email to collect the passports 2 weeks after submitting them for issuing. vist visas.

[UKGuyLondon]

Just had a horrific thought.... what if the Call in Letter is delivered to the wrong address/house by the mailman? This is not uncommon in Pakistan.

Due to the fact that there seem to be no time limits on the receipt of this letter, one keeps waiting in hope and anticipation. There is no other alternative or number to call to find out the latest update and all emails to UKBA give you a generic response. One may be waiting for 6 months or more when the letter has already reached its destination!

[mrsahmed]

didnt you give an email address, if you did then they would have emailed you when to submit your passport. maybe send them an email and say that you would prefer contact that way as the postal system is bad in Pakistan. thats what we did.

[UKGuyLondon]

mrsahmed,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, we did give an email address in the appeal form but have not received anything yet.

I did send an email to the following addresses but received generic answers telling me to wait and that I will hear from them in due course:

UKHUB.PakistanSettlementEnquiriesandComplaints@fco.gov.uk
ukvisasection.pakistansettlementenquiries@fco.gov.uk
visaenquiries.abdhabi@fco.gov.uk
STE.UKHUB@fco.gsi.gov.uk

It has been 10 weeks since the decision was overturned and we have not heard anything since....

[tasawar]

AOA786

Makyle1can you please tell me you win your appeal or the ECO overturn there decision?

[mrsahmed]

mrsahmed,

It has been 10 weeks since the decision was overturned and we have not heard anything since....

if you have recieved a response whether its a generic one or not, no doubt you will recieve an email when to submit your passport. 10 weeks isnt that long. dont worry to much!

[UKGuyLondon]

ASA Tasawar and mrsahmed,

We had the decision overturned after 3 and a half months from the time we submitted our appeal papers.

I realize that 10 weeks is not that long a time but our journey started with a settlement visa application in July, 2009 so it has been a year and a half since we have been waiting!

Application for my wife and 2 year old son submitted in July, 2009
Visa issued in Nov and Dec 2009 respectively
Daughter born in Karachi in Nov, 2009 during visa waiting process
Applied for daughter's visa in March, 2010 (delay in application since daughter's passport, birth certificate had to me made. My mom also passed away in Karachi)
Daughter's visa refused in May, 2010
Appealed in June, 2010
Decision overturned in Sep, 2010
Waiting for Call Letter

So that's our story. Now, the concern is that if UKBA takes their own sweet time to get back to us, my daughter and son's visa runs the risk of expiry!
