Oh boy 6th June has come and gone!:(Shadow86 wrote:No updates here either, them baskets!
This week is supposed to be 8 people getting their update, of which 3 are appellants (myself included)!!
Ok if not all 8 then at least 5 or 6? They have to up their game, at least for this week as it is to be the busiest due to all deadlines coming this week.

Think they are busy and our application is in the que. They have checked me (sponsor) and they have checked the English language test and not sure what other checks will do. They haven't contacted my employer.
I told my lovely wife last Thursday that we get the news in a few days but it looks like nothing is happening. I'm losing my patience now.
gerry who does these updates My wife too wishes to spend Ramadan with me here. We spent Ramadan together last year in Pak. Inshallah hoping to spend it this year and the years ahead together in UK.MojoJojo wrote:Oh boy 6th June has come and gone!:(
Anyways...so i did a little bit of calculation and I think for the 12 weeks to end I still have 20+ days isnt it????... because the final date of 6th June was including weekends,royal wedding, privilege day etc..and they say on the website that youre supposed to exclude weekends and hols....so I will consider anything before July to be a bonus i guess....just hoping to spend Ramadan with the husband and Hajj this year inshAllah if I can get there soon!Please pray all brothers and sisters!:D...Good luck to you all!
I think your 12 (60 working days) is up as you have submitted your application me if I'm not wrong. You/we should hear something in the next few days.......MojoJojo wrote:Oh boy 6th June has come and gone!:(Shadow86 wrote:No updates here either, them baskets!

MojoJojo I wouldn't worry too much yet. It seems Monday and Tuesday is silent day somehow and Wednesday/Thursday is the best days in terms of getting some news. You WILL get an update inshallah within this one week, the scope of it going any further than next week Tuesday is very small.
I too seemed a little annoyed earlier today but we must stay patient. Someone has just recently said that Allah is not pleased with us when we lose patience or something along those lines, nicely said I must say.
You can say that how an idle mind is the devils playground, similarly an idle mind is our downfall in this situation, if we keep ourselves engaged with time consuming activities then we should feel less stress from the whole process.
