OK, I resolved it by closing my broswer and then reapplying; made the payment. (I received the same reference #)

Hello. I was applying for ESTA for my Daughter who is coming up to 3, UK Citizen. On the payment screen my computer crashed. I have the reference # for the application but when I attempt to retrieve it the system says: "No Application Found" I have also clicked the option where I enter the...

Thousands of people in Pakistan - including BBC staff - have been hit by delays in receiving UK visas, with many having to wait up to six weeks.

The UK Border Agency has not commented on claims that this is due to visas now being processed in the Middle East.

Hey folks. khan85 : I submitted the following documentation: - 2 years Pay slips - 2 years Bank statements - Letters spanning 2 years which included, Tax Credit and Job Centre correspondence, NHS registration, Birth Certificate of child born during the 2 years, letters and statements from Bank and N...

Hey folks, good news, my wife received her ILR this morning. I applied in the UK via post on the 15th APR and her passport [plus docs] arrived today. From a documentation POV, my bank balance was in overdraft but I supplied 2 years worth of bank statements and pay slips. I also included Tax Credit d...

Hello all! My wife was granted a Spouse Visa from Pakistan in 2007; I need to apply for my wife’s ILR towards the end of March and I have a few questions: 1] My Bank balance is in over draft, however I have ample savings which can pay off the overdraft easily, plus my salary is paid into the accou...

Hi all. My wife was granted a spouse visa last year from BHC Islamabad [Pakistan] and I have a couple of questions regarding access to public funds and an additional visiting visa for Europe. My questions are: 1] If my wife falls pregnant in the UK, will she have to pay for her scans and delivery of...

Hi Ahmed, I was in the exact situation. There is no need to worry because thankfully the BHC understand this type of situation. If I am not mistaken there is a section on the form which asks for a present name and any other previous names the applicant was known by. It is also worth explaining your ...

Hi Pawan, my wife had to take the TB tests before submitting her application in Pakistan. Applicants from India may require a different set of documents. I think its best to call the BHC in India and confirm. I know it is possible to take the test at Heathrow but your wife will not be allowed to pas...

Dear all, My wife finally received her passport with a spouse visa approved! This is great news! I was amazed at the turn around time. I applied on the 27th March 2007 via Gerry’s Fedex in Karachi, and on 13th APR 2007 her Spouse Visa was granted. Words cannot express the thanks towards the users ...

Get it translated at your local Notory Public Office.

Hi IRfan, you can explain the error during the interview. I had a similar issue and the ECO asked my wife whether there were any errors on the form and my wife explained the error. To which they responded, 'Thank you'.

Hi, do the ECO also tell the applicant if their application is rejcted after an interview?

Thanks.

Hi all! My wife had her interview today and all was ok. Standard questions were asked - how long have you known your husband, where does he work, who lives with him, how long have you been married, when was the last time she met my husband. In the end she was asked whether there was anything on the ...

Hi all, as many of you know my wife has an interview for her spouse visa application tomorrow however it seems one of my cousins in Pakistan who has a friend at the BHC at Karachi has revealed why my wife will be called for interview and the precise points of concern! This to me sounds suspicious. I...

Hi Irfan, you can request a new P60 from here. Contact the inland revneue and ask for a copy of your P60. You will have to pay around £20 per copy!

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Hi all, sorry to be a pain here, but does anyone have any info that may be of help? My wife's interview is on the 10th April!

Thanks!

Hi all. I was speaking to my wife regarding her spouse visa application form and have come to realise that one of the dates on the form *could* be wrong. In the section where they ask you previous marriage details, I said I was married in Dec 2001, when in actual fact I was married in Dec 2000. [200...

Thanks again Ronin. She was expecting to be interviewed anyway given that she has visited the UK on a Visiting Visa only to be refused entry once [She was pregnant and was asked to return using a medical Visa]
Many thanks again, will keep this thread updated....

Many thanks Ronin, but is a call for an interview a good sign? Meaning if they wanted to reject the application based on the documents they received they would have done so?

Hi Roninxxx, the interview is in Karachi. From my understanding the interview process will also include a process to obtain biometric data. From what I have read interviews are generally confirmed via post but according to the phone call the visa dept wanted to confirm the address and interview slot...

Hi all. My wife applied for her Spouse visa via Gerrys in Karachi, Pakistan last Thursday. Today she receives a call confirming an interview date and time. I have two questions; 1) Is it normal for the Visa dept to call an applicant and confirm an interview date? 2) Are any requirements mentioned in...

Also make sure you obtain a TB certificate! New requirment since March 2007.

Congratulations! Did you apply at Karachi?

Hi all. I don’t know whether you remember my situation but I was waiting for my decree absolute before applying for my wife’s spouse visa. A few weeks ago my decree was pronounced and in about a month I will be heading to Pakistan. We had our first child while my wife was in Pakistan and according t...
