My spouse visa application is one of the April 2015 applications that have not had any decision yet.
Below is my most up to date escalations reply. I escalated once but had update twice on 19 and 25 august.
Now wondering if anybody can predict how far our application is from the final decision.
Does the last escalation update means that they have received reply from UK authorities and now our application is again in the queue or update 29-08 and 05-08 has same meaning.
Escalation reply on 29-08-2015
'Initial checks and pre assessment completed. Further assessment/checks are
being carried out by the Entry Clearance Officer. Application is in queue
for further assessment and checks/enquiries.'

'Unfortunately, the situation regarding your visa application remains
unchanged and we are still awaiting the outcome of routine checks before we
can resolve your case.'

'Your application is under process. We are waiting for results from UK
authorities. We will update applicant via email as soon as a decision has

Update from UKVI on 24-07
In progress

Someone told me that from Thursday post 10th June applicant will start getting processed emails as they are completing some backlog and non immigrant applications.

If that's correct than Thursday is not far.

Salam brothers and sisters

Just thought I would give you an update on what is happening with me as I can see that there are some other people still awaiting a response from April.

Today I recieved an email from Islamabad visa office saying that my application has now been processed. It seems that they have now started working through the backlog of applications.

Please remember me in your duas and I of course will be remembering those of you still waiting.

Thanks.

Alhamdulillah My wife received the processed email today 01-SEP-2015 at 3Pm Pakistan time. So far no email from NHS or no money is refunded into my bank account.
Please keep me in your prayer and I will update you as soon as we collect the passport.

My spouse applied on 15 April but submitted her English certificate on 20-May-2015 to Gerry’s office in Islamabad. I think they consider her application from 20th may. I may be wrong. That’s why it took so long.

Here is all my timeline,
VAC on 14-04-2015 in Mirpur
04-07-2015: it is yet to be assessed by an Entry Clearance Officer (ECO).
08-07-15: found that a decision on your application has been delayed whilst further enquiries are being conducted
08-07-15: Application was escalated
15-07-15: 'Initial checks/pre assessment completed. Application is in Entry Clearance Officer’s queue for further assessment.
27-07-15: Application is currently in progress
05-08-15: Escalation reply
'Your application is under process. We are waiting for results from UK
authorities. We will update applicant via email as soon as a decision has
been made and her documents are ready for collection.'

25-08-2015: Escalation reply
'Unfortunately, the situation regarding your visa application remains
unchanged and we are still awaiting the outcome of routine checks before we
can resolve your case.'

29-08-2015: Escalation reply
'Initial checks and pre assessment completed. Further assessment/checks are
being carried out by the Entry Clearance Officer. Application is in queue
for further assessment and checks/enquiries.'

01-SEP-2015: Processed email

Keep me in your prayer.
