Aww, thank you - except my max time has come and gone It's almost been 28 weeks now! It's pretty horrible. In other countries you could have probably made like two applications in that time and got a decision too and we're still waiting for one lousy reply

We never received a delay e-mail or anything either. Has somebody pasted the template onto the forum? How long after applying did you receive it if you don't mind me asking?

Nope, not self-employed. Is that sometimes a reason for the delay? In my case it doesn't apply but yet we're still waiting...

Hi everyone i just wanted to share this email address with you all

If you have no luck with them replying to emails. Try emailing to this address. I am not sure you will get a response back or not but this email is for a senior officer, I once communicated with him when i was going through an appeal. I forgot i had the email saved in my email address otherwise i would have posted it earlier.

Any september applicants had RFC yet?

My husband had a call requesting english translated nikaah nama, which we submitted within 2 days. Does this mean the application is on hold as such? Im not clear on how you know if your application is on hold. Can any fellow members clarify for me please?

[akhan47]

Applied for my wife for the second time on 20th jan. Same day the status changed to forwarded to Islamabad OC. Next day we had a phone call asking us to go to the same Gerry's office and submit new passport sized photos. We did that and yesterday status was changed to under process at BHC.

U get a letter by post and an email which tells u that ur case has been put on hold and it tells u the reasons. Also asks for u to submit additional documents

[SHAHFAISAL]

Salaam saf786

Thanks for explaining that to me. Neither me or my husband have received a letter or email saying that the application is on hold. Although we were asked to submit the english translated nikaah nama. Its been a week since we have submitted it, but judging by everyone elses times lines the BHC still take time to respond even after submitting further documents.

I dont understand why they give you such short deadlines to submit further documents yet they dont get back to you till months on end.

[issysaj19]

[quote="TangoMike"]Just to give you guys an update, It has been over 7 months since my wife applied for her visa and we have not been put on hold. I have emailed BHC a number of times asking the reason for the delay but they started ignoring my emails in December. I then asked my wife to email them a couple of weeks ago and they replied today saying
"...I can confirm that this case is currently being processed but we cannot make a decision until all of our checks are completed. we will do this as soon as we can but cannot give you a precise timframe at present...."

I don't understand what checks they are doing cos they haven't contacted my employer etc.

I think the next step will be to contact my local MP![/quote]
