The letter looks very similar to the one i receive except it stated i needed to submit 12 months bank statements as i am self employed.

Best to just send them all documents they requested. You can do this by email, but also send them originals by post because on the letter we received it stated no copies will be accepted.

How much time did they give you to submit documents? For us they gave 3 weeks from dated letter.

Hey, They just asked for statments, payslips and savings statement for October and November. I have scanned these and attached them in the email. In my letter it said I could said documents by email, fax or post, they only gave me 10 days. Do you know anyone else who has sent docs by email?

Thanks Saf

That explains why they gave you only 10 days to send the documents to them. Seen as in the letter it states that you can send documents through email, then its best you do this as its the quickest way. In our letter it only states by post and gave us 3 weeks.

INSHA ALLAH after submitting the requested documents they will grant visa. Sorry i dont know anyone who submitted by email, but i do remember some people on this forum submitted documents through email aswell as sent originals by post.

The way decisions seem to be coming at the moment there isn't really a proper timeframe.
From previous posts and applicants applying i would say around 3 - 6 months. As there are some people who are getting replies after 6 months who arent on hold

[newbie1213]

Hi all,

Is there anybody on the forum who applied around last June or July who hasn't heard anything at all? I know there've been a few people put on hold that applied around that time but neither my wife (applicant) nor me have been contacted at any stage asking for further evidence etc

Not being contacted at all after more than 24 weeks passing is a bit worrying. If there's anyone who is/was in a similar situation, your advice be much appreciated!

Thanks

Application: (LHE) 19/07/13
Status: Visa under process since 01/08/13
RFC: Still waiting....

[samera123]

Thanks for all ur prayers, really I pray from the bottom of my heart that Allah gets everyone out of this waiting situation ameen I wrote a letter to bhc complainning about the wait n sent letter to mp as well n ofcourse couple of emails...InshAllah people who submitted extra documents should hear from them before march I dont see any reason why would you have to wait till march...May Allah unite you all quickly with your spouses ameeen

[saf786]

saf786,

It's visaenquiries.islamabad@fco.gov.uk

[samera123]

Saf try writing a letter to them then keep emailing them and just act polite explain all your situation in the letter and your mp as well

[saf786]

Thank you

I've been emailing them quiet abit and I'm getting the same replies... It's so frustrating ! And in my latest email I even got : "Please refrain from further correspondence with us during this time. " so I backed off I suppose

[newbie1213]

That's a bit rude for them to say that! Had you previously been emailing them on a different email add?

I've only emailed them the once and try ended the email with..."thank you for keeping your correspondence to a minimum during this time," etc etc etc. It was a standard response though.

No it was the same email address ... I got that reply too but then I emailed them and I get that .. I have also replied my mp who has emailed them on the 16th jan but still havnt heard from him

[saf786]

Has anybody else had a reply which said that too ?

[newbie1213]

I think someone suggested on the forum a little while ago sometimes it's better to use different email addresses if you are going to contact them a few times. They're more likely to reply than they are to just lots from the same email address (I think that's the theory anyway)

Has your husband tried contacting them via email too? If he's able to it might make a tiny bit of a difference I guess as he is the applicant after all. Unless the BHC still don't take it seriously, no matter who's enquiring

He has tried too.. I write emails on his behalf to them so they think it is the applicant emailing them ... Doesn't make a difference really... I really just want to no my status .. Hold or getting anywhere

In one way though, you're lucky - at least you knew that your case was being looked at when you were put on hold last year when they asked you for your additional documents (as it says in your timeline)

We haven't heard anything at all, not even to request any further documents and she applied a month or so after you did from Lahore. I have this recurring nightmare that her application is in a box somewhere in Islamabad and its been forgotten about
