Hello everyone my timeline is as follows
14 April 15 online application
22 April biomimetic and submission

I have requested an update on my case twice but both time I get the same reply on 01/06/15 and 19/June/15 (found that there are no current updates. This could be
because your application was submitted recently or the details that you
have provided above are incorrect). Although on my first email on 14/05/15 the reply was it has not been assessed. Just yesterday they have asked my details for escalation so don't know how long it takes. Anyways I pray for everyone to get with spouses.

You should get a response within 3 weeks.

Salam everyone

Just received an update after escalation of my case which I wanted to share with you guys hope u are all having a gd time and my prayers are with you all -

We would like to apologise for the delay in responding to you. We have
received the following update on your escalated case.

'Under process for further enquiries'

What do guys think anywhere near?

Good to see you guys in the group.

Sajjaduk, when you called them for an update, how much did you end up paying for the phonecall? The amount per minute is ridiculous!

Yes you will have vaf4a to sign
Appendix 2 which us still the same version
Need to write the nhs ref on the vaf4a form front page top corner
Would also suggest printing out the email with the ref and put that with the file

Good luck

[sajjaduk]

Alot of people applications are having or had the pre assessment done so anything is possible
All depends on how straightforward the case is and how quick checks come back im guessing

It states on the ukba guidance to quote the ihs ref on the online application top of page
Good idea though to also mention in cover letter

Hi ukmu
My daughter has applied for her husbands settlement visa.

[unis]

Got the MP to email a second time and also sent a fax including the determination letter and a cover letter this monday. No response from the fax but this is what the MP received:

Thank you for your email correspondence of 8 June on behalf of Mr Ahmed of ......., about his wife, Mrs..., who has appealed against the decision to refuse her Entry Clearance to come to the UK.

As advised in my email correspondence of 8 May, our Visa Section in Islamabad has received Mrs .....'s appeal determination, but further enquiries are necessary. These enquiries remain outstanding and I apologise for the continued delay.

I will contact you again by the end of September to advise you of the progress of the case.

Seriously? Anyone have any ideas on what to do next because this one application has dragged on for almost 2 years. Beyond a joke. Almost considering just reapplying.

I don't understand if your appeal was granted in January have they asked for your wife's passport?

Not yet. I don't understand what checks they are doing they had all the evidence at the hearing and it's not a new application.

Slaam bro i have been waiting a long time myself its very frustrating bt just b patient my wife visa was granted in dec14 on review handed passport in and still waiting for them to giv back the passport with stamp

[akram1990]

Don't have Facebook... Any ideas what date the applications have reached?

[sajjaduk]

@zoopla

The only thing I can see is this

My wait is finally over, hubby has just collected his passport from Islamabad Gerry Office and visa has been granted, ALHAMDULILLAH!
So blessed to receive such good news in the Mubarak month of Ramadhan!

@shaf1234

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry I thought when u said daughter I assumed it was a child application.

[sajjaduk]

@shaf1234

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry I thought when u said daughter I assumed it was a child application.

If the child is born to atleast one British parent then apply for a British passport for the child
Takes roughly six months and once in the uk then register overseas birth in the uk registrar.. that's if one parent has British nationality
