Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[shfh7815]

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a reply from a appeal...I heard when you submit the appeal the eco have 28days to either overturn decision or continue to refuse...is this true?

Hi

Feel so stressed seems like everyone is getting processed emails / visas who have applied after me.

Anyone else applied from Islamabad in Jan

Think it depends on the city as each city as a different processing time. Has anyone from Islamabad received their visas recently having submitted at around the time you submitted your documents? All we can do is just sit back and pray that we will receive ours too. There aint much point in stressing.

There was a person here who applied from islamabad on the 24th february and recieved his processed email on the 17th march .... I also applied frm isb on 9th march

I guess its just luck then isnt it. My wife applied from Khi on the 09/02/15 still not heard anything, waiting for the 2 months to pass to inquire again

Yes I think its obvious that Mirpur is fastest and Karachi is slowest.

Yeh i was personally thinking to leave it until mid april but then was tempted as ppl after me had applied and received there visas.
I sent a email on 17th march but received eco has not yet seen my case, and then rang up today.

Salam everyone
anyone who appealed in nov/dec 2014 and got their decision overturned or got hearing date ?

[akhan4747]

Congrats to all that have got their visa. For everyone else we can only pray.

I applied in august and was rejected in December, for a stupid reason (they said wage slip was missing, and English result was missing both where there they are just blind and will make stupid excuses when they have met their yearly quota as many will have experienced.)

I appealed the decision and asked for a review at the start of January. Today i got a call from my solicitor saying that the court had tried to take the appeal fee from my bank but had been declined. So i made the payment over the phone. SO it has been 3 months and they are just starting to look at my case.

The lawyer also said he did a review. but he had no response

I would request everyone to pray for me and everyone else as well.

When you pray for your brother. ‘The Dua of a Muslim for his brother (in Islam) in his absence is readily accepted.
An Angel is appointed to his side, whenever he makes a beneficial Dua for his brother, the appointed Angel says ‘Aameen, and may you be blessed with the same.’’ [Muslim]

Good News

Visa is here.

To all, I think I followed a very good process of filling out the visa application including how I sorted the information and everything.
I will post a detailed checklist for anyone else to follow.

I will also put up the sanitized word documents I used as introduction letters.

Many many congratulations!!!!!! so do you have to come to the uk within 30 days because of that rule that come out on 18th march ?/

[Enzo111]

Can anybody help.
When you get a email saying that your visa application is delayed due to further checks brig carried out, how long do you think it will take to get a answer?

And I'm getting worried that my case might get rejected. Is there anyone else in the same boat who's applications are delayed for further checks?

Online submitted 9/2/15
Application submitted 18/2/15
Delay for further checks 25/3/15

Hi enzo111 im not sure about the answer but just wanted to ask, did you ask for an update or did BHC automatically send you that email? and which city did you apply from?

Think someone else received a similar email like yours and then phone for an update a week later to be told that all checks have been carried out but a decision is pending by an ECO.

Hi akhan4747

That's shocking that they've made a blatant error whilst assessing your application. I could only imagine how you must have felt especially as the documents were provided! I hope you get a positive outcome soon and will make dua for you and everyone else who is waiting!

Documented sumbitted in mirpur , 18/02/15
Delayed for further checks , 25/03/15

Roughly how long is the process from here now?

Hi Enzo111 I received the same email still no other updates after that mail! Did they sent this email by their own or u asked for update?

The ECO has 15 weeks to give a decision. However it can be given before that date. Recently on the forum a few people have heard back 8-10 weeks later. Each case is different. I think it depends on your refusal reason. Some people get their appeal processed quicker than others. People who apply on point based system can apply for an administrative review which then it is dealt with within 28 days but this doesn't apply to settlement applications.

[Laiba1234]

@salma123aslam I submitted my appeal on the 09/02/15 and I received a notice of pending appeal letter this week. You applied a week after me, Inshallah you will receive a letter next week or the week after.

InshAllah will wait for the letter till end of April, if I've still not heard anything will track it. If you don't mind whats the deadline date for your review? I want a rough estimate on how long they take for reviews. I understand every appeal case is different.
