Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[Tabz5]

Can someone kindly help me I asked for my visa status update and they replied to me dt my application has been concluded? What does dt mean?

Hello tabz mashallah if the email has a ref num in the header it means visa is granted, please give us your timeline and where you applied from?

They replied to my visa enquiry update that ur current status is that ur app has been concluded.

Salaam & loads of congrats to everyone who got there visas

I was wondering how long further checks/enquiries take?
Also what is involved?
As my Employer has not receieved a call from them yet confirming my employment etc.

Just worried as to how long it would take, as I asked for an update yesterday and they said that my status is still the same and is still in the queue for further checks/enquiries

They also escalated it for me and just got an email back saying that my status is still in a queue for further checks & enquiries .

I'm really worried

Thank you

Nothing to worry about, stick to your prayers and duaws, in sha Allah you will soon have a decision. I applied thrice not once they contacted my employment. That doesn't mean they don't verify employment, I guess if they suspect something with employment papers then they have to go through a verification process.

Thank you tallojani

Just hoping for the best that we hear soon In Sha Allah .

Anyone who received their emails from BHC is there any specific time when they send email to inform that application has been processed or concluded.

wsalam, unfortunately I struggled to find the answer, I don't think its written anywhere you can try ringing UKBA from UK see what they say. Logically you can enter whenever as long as you have a valid visa.

It will easier to put a fresh application with an acceptable English language test certificate.

The pay is over the threshold for past 7 months, I was worried because the first 3 months were probationary.

I'm including a job offer letter and contract letter, is that OK?

Thanks!!

inshallah that should be fine, dont forgt the latter from you employer stating the required info such as gross annual salary etc

Hi guys,

We are going to apply for spouse visa in islamabad. I have the following questions:

Accommodation: I've just signed tenancy agreement for a one-bed flat, self contained, do I have to get an inspection report? (I thought that is for shared accommodation only)
I also have a letter from estate agent saying my wife has been given permission to live with me there but tenancy agreement says I am the single occupant!

Medical Test: only TB required? (What about polio?)

Communication: We are providing screen shots of viber and skype (one screen shot for every few days). I read in another thread that ppl were refused because they dont take viber and skype as full proof!

Can those who were granted visa advice please?

Also can those who were refused visa mention their reasons, I have read some but want to know if others kindly could share them. Obviously I want to know if there is a problem with my application and fix it now.

I earn £25k but will apply under cat B as I took some unpaid leave (this is explained in a letter).

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks a lot

the letter from your estate agent should be fine
polio test is only required for travel once visa is granted
viber and skype should be fine i also providded these along with other forms of communication
all the bestx

[Ket1]

Salaam, Finally the wait is over, My wife went to collect her passport and Alhamdulilah visa has been stamped!!!! Thanks for everyone who has done DUA and I will make DUA for everyone waiting

Yes the two email theory is correct!!!!

massive congrats!! x

[Ket1]

Thanks for your reply - I know this would be the quicker route but my current job does not meet the financial requirements and I am falling a little short on savings.
If we were to get another test done and put an appeal forward do you think there are chances of it . overturning or would it be a waste of time?

Hi Everyone hope all is well,

I have a question for everyone who has been granted their visa.

Is viber and skype fine?
