xnailax

you can book appointment before submitting documents by contacting Gerry's or you can use VIP service (don't need appointment) but this costs 3,000 Rs.

I do pray all those people waiting are granted Visa's soon

Salam @Exquisit33 No news yet Sis it's been 10weeks still waiting. It has been a quite few weeks actually. Inshallah soon enough we should be hearing some good news.

Making Dua for all those in this process of applying and waiting. May Allah swt give us sabar and may our sabar be rewarded in the end.

Btw, Is anyone going to be carrying on the spreadsheet that Shadow86 use to update?? Is was very helpful

This is my first application. Hubby submitted it on the 31st May 2011 at Islamabad. 3 days after UKBA4 and I'm still waiting.

We havn't been contacted by BHC, so still have to wait and see what happens.

Ok I am roughly a week after you, so please keep me posted. Is it always 12 weeks the max in Pakistan? Or could it exceed the 3 months time frame???

It's a long wait.. Inshallah better days to come

Exquisit33 · Post by **Exquisit33** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 4:11 pm

I was just checking Pakistan Settlement Visas processing times.. I am quite confused as to why it shows processing times going up to 120 days? I would have thought it would be 3 months max? Is that in rare cases?

Settlement Visas

2 days, 3 days, 5 days, 10 days, 15 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days

??????????

Any ideas

Are you sure that is the full email? It looks like most of it is missing which is possibly why you can't make any sense of it.

Hi im quiet new to this forum its very helpful i havent applied for my husbands visa yet due to the minimuim age requirements. i have been married for 2 years and 4 months. I hope for help through every little help while preparing my documents as i get confused quiet quickly.
I have been reading this forum from the begging of this year. I have also been looking to the spreadsheet by minty it seems to me that most people who have applied for a visa at the end of 2010 have been refused thier visa in december. Most of them were just refused over lame reasons and the decisions have been overturned. It also seems like thier are a lot of visa being granted in March April time.
Has any1 here applied for thier visa at the end of december 2010 or in january 2011. How long did it take to get a reply back and was a visa granted
Thank u every1 for your help

Congrat Naila on your husband passing his English Test.

I am willing to keep the spreadsheet up to date but I would need the password as the document is protected. Does anyone apart from Shadow know the password?

Muj

nazema · Post by **nazema** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:21 am

Hi xnaila - congrats on hubby passing test

Shahid Khan - This email means Abu Dhabi has forwarded your email to Islamabad as your case is being dealt with by them. I would recommend you sent an email to Islamabad asking for an update and hopefully they will reply.

I dont mind updating the spreadsheet but as Muj1 said it needs a password. I will contact Shadow in relation to this.
