My wife got RFC today. Applied at Mirpur on the 11th May 2012. InshAllah visa will be granted. She is going tomorrow at 2pm to pick up the documents. Already looking into flights for Wednesday but fully booked because of Eid. I will do dua she gets her visa and also for everyone else who is waiting.
This is bullshit ive had enough, i applied on 6th June 2012 at Mirpur, and now i have to wait untill.next year. Nice excuses ukba to sit on your arse for a few weks well done! Oh let me think of another holiday diwalli, chinese new year whilst your at it and have 364 days off in a year!!!!!!!!!!!!angelkhan wrote:so many hollidays but wat can u do
25 October Thursday Eid ul Azha*
26 October Friday Eid ul Azha*
09 November Friday Iqbal Day
23 November Friday 09 Muharram*

25 December Tuesday Christmas Day
26 December Wednesday Boxing Day
The difference between a ticket inside 2/3 days and a ticket 8-10 days later is approximately 30000 rupees. Near enough £200. It would be rash and not logical to not wait just a handful of days more. It also allows your spouse to prepare her luggage and say her goodbye because ultimately she will be leaving her family for the first time and may not see them again for many months at the earliest.Seeb wrote:My wife got RFC today.

Unfortunately annual leave and public holidays are part and parcel of the waiting game. The good news for you is, that at the height of Summer in the searing heat and due to Ramadan there were not many new marriages, which people leaver till the cooler climate. It means not as many applications for new marriages. Which in turn means less of a queue. It's been abotu 3 and a half months for you, not so long. Some people wait over 6 months, so be patient, your turn will come. Being angry and fretting gets you nowhere, even if it's justified.Shah12 wrote: This is bullshit ive had enough, i applied on 6th June 2012 at Mirpur, and now i have to wait untill.next year.

topgun! wrote:@HKamy20 It's difficult to know how long it'll take. However, given the statistics provided by UKBA, it does appear to be a 6-month wait at the moment. According to some reports, they have hired extra staff so that might speed things up. However, in my humble opinion December is more realistic. Anything before that would be a real bonus.HKamy20 wrote:That's good to see. Others from Karachi. We all have similar time line so probably get response similar time Insha Allah.
So as topgun said, are we expecting responses towards Christmas time rather than In November?
