You can write his name in the online form.He doesn't need to sign that.At the end of the process just print out the cover sheet and send it over with the supporting documents.On line is more quicker.Its quite simple and we will be clear when you start it.Kepp me updated about the process Sis,Inshallah you your visa.

A scanned copy will do. Also I just wanted to ask when your dad transferred the money into your account did you wait for 6 months to apply or did you apply straight away?

Any updates for calls?

[Kuzak]

Any updates for calls?

None, any late November applicants from Islamabad heard anything?

[hope786]

Salaam,

Yesterday I asked for an update and this is what I got once again :

We would like to inform you that we have not received any further updates since the last one which stated "Initial pre assessment and online verification has been conducted. Application is in Entry Clearance Officer’s queue for further assessment and checks/enquiries"

Your visa application centre or the entry clearance officer will contact you once a decision has been made or, if necessary, during the consideration of your application.

This is the 4th time of getting this message, even when escalated last week.

I don't understand why its still in the queue for the ECO to do further checks/enquiries?

It should at least say that its now under process.

Not sure of what to think
Really stressed out.

Nothing yet they said my application is concluded Bt no email after that. This wait game is too much stressful.

My husband has not received a email or call from Mirpur Gerry's for collection.
Usually how long does that take? And around what time does the email or call come. It is 1.30pm in pakistan now so I guess not today

Just be patient, docs have to travel from Islamabad to mirpur, once mirpur Gerry has them, then they will call your husband. Normally 1 day to be allowed for docs, could be earlier or late. But good thing is you got it in the bag.

But its just getting a bit too much..

My husband just received a text

The processed visa application for GWF ref no. (GWF******) was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 2/10/2015. If a courier service was purchased from VFS, your processed visa application will be delivered to the chosen address. If not, the documents can be collected during the designated passport collection times.

@AMB1 don't worry you will hear within 2 weeks. I received the same email update that my case was processed and they emailed me after 2 weeks. So just be patient inshallah you will hear good news soon.

@Laiba 123.
Quick Question?

Beacuse i am getting worried. Why they taking time? if its a refusal they might be waiting for 12 weeks to complete or something else..

All of us heard after 2 weeks and they all got their visas except me so don't think of it as a bad sign. Inshallah brother your visa will be stamped. Just stay patient and put your faith In Allah as he is the best of all planners.

Salaam guys

hope every1 is well, my husband has nearly prepared his documents inshalah we will submit the documents by this month inshalah. We got married in august 2014 - my husband received holiday pay during this month the same he would receive as every other month. However on the employer letter it doesn't say holiday pay and i dont think it say this on the pay slip .. should we get this changed by his employers

[gucci9]

Hi everyone hope you are well,

I have a question if I am submitting my documents on the 25th February wat email and when will I recieve this I'm so unsure please help? Xx

[ab112]

A couple of urgent questions:

I bank with natwest, they dont provide me with bank statements or certify my online statements, they will only provide transaction history. Has anyone had problems with Natwest transaction history (instead of the paper bank statements) for spouse visa? Has ECO picked on this before in anyones case or do they accept it? I want to know if they have previous rejected people because of this?

Also I am applying under CAT B, even though I am salaried. This is because I took some unpaid leave so one month salary is less than others, gross is the same but the unpaid leave is deducted. Has in anyones case the ECO refused them because they applied under different category?

I am worried guys so if you have any experience positive or negative please share.

Appreicate your advice
