[tallojani]

Mrs N
yes the one u got registerd after ur nikkah at the union council.the second one is the nadra certified.i submitted that one as original n copy of the English version of my nikkah nama.they never mentioned it to b an issue.

Hi
I want to ask guys I lost my orignal nikaa nama
And I have a carbon copy.my nika took place in uk
As I didn't register my nikka in pakistan.i also have a English marriage certificate which was issued from uk marraige registration office can I only apply on dat English certificate or I still need a certificate from Pakistani Union council???

If you are a Pakistani citizen then you need to register your marriage in Pakistan before applying.

If you are a Pakistani citizen then you need to register your marriage in Pakistan before applying.

@If the marriage is registered with a Register Office in the UK then it is legally valid and recognised.
However I'm assuming you were not on a marriage visa when you got married in the UK, which may an issue when applying for a spouse visa. you will need to be clear on the details of your marriage when applying, otherwise it may be classed as "frustating the rules".

It looks like applicants from Lahore are getting a much quicker turnaround. Whereas other VAC especially Mirpur are far behind

any news from august apps?

Hey bro, when did you apply? my wife's application went on August 27th, aint heard a word from UKVI since then....driving me up the bloody bend now.

its in my sig 20th august my wife applied.

im in the same boat as you - no communication from them at all; even tho we paid for sms service what a joke.

Zee i rang up UKVI today myself and have been told (your wife's application is under process and a decision can be made anytime please be patient as we have a huge number if people applying for settlement visa's. However please do call again in a few days to see if a decision has been made) ....or email the tossers. Any word from you?

Hey Kehkashan

I find it a bit weird that you are still waiting 9 months later especially if they are processing applications after yourself. My cousin works as an ECO in Dubai for the visit visas and she advised that in some situations files are misplaced and left until someone chases it up

I am not sure how many times you have been chasing your application but you should stay on top of it as that could be the case with yourself. InshAllah I hope it isnt but no harm in making sure

[stillwaiting123]

@kehkashan u have been waiting 183 working days!!!!!!

[Ahmadshah]

@kehkashan u have been waiting 183 working days!!!!!!

Hope we all get gd news in shaa Allah

Asim, i didnt manage to catch his name, but he deffo wasnt British, sounded Spanish. He did say to keep chasing up but i think if its not done within the next 3 weeks then nothing till mid jan or feb.

[alil2014]

Hi guys, I have a quick question I didn't have to do a property inspection report, as I have my own property with no one else living in it.

But my cousin was asking does anyone know whether it would be OK for estate agent to do a property inspection report? Is there anyone else authorised to do it?

I know councils can do reports but they are giving long waiting times.

Your response will be appreciated. thx
