I think people that people who didn't get their applications looked at before eid should now start to get processed emails, which should be all end of april applicants who have not heard back yet. Next week may applicants should be getting processed emails.

I didn't take any screenshots but just did a printout.

I think that they verify all documents submitted, how they do that I don't know.

There's a way to get the history of Skype calls logs but it needs to be done on a pc. I will follow this up and add the instructions

For WhatsApp conversations it's needs to be in English i'e our chatting as other than English. It need to be translated :( and so a few pages from like the start of every month middle and end will be sufficient. As I'm sure we lot are going beyond 1000 pages plus in some cases !!!

Hi, I am aiming to apply for my husbands visa week, but need cclarification on the submission procedure. Does husband only hand in his current/ previous passports at Gerry's? What aabout passport sized photo? Husband did ask in pakistan and was advised that he has to submit passport, TB test & Enhlish Test. I am sure this is wrong. Would be grateful for sone advice. Thanks.

Previous or old or expired passport IMO leave it out I haven't came across where it's asked for it in forms or applications
best to wait for other to shed light on this.

Wa alaikum as salaam

Cloud you kindly write up your visa time line

Anyhow many mubaraks and hope all workls out.
What i know from experience is that i have always gone in the next day after receiving the email and my documents were there. I dont rely on gerry notifying me to come because sometimes they dont and you lose days and sleep just wondering.
