Good luck to you all those still waiting! Hopefully you'll all get good news in the coming days inshallah

As some people have pointed out they've been waiting more than almost a year (or around a year) in a few situations. I think that's showing more "sabr" than people can reasonably be expected to show especially when, in a lot of cases, there's not much clarity or consistency shown by the BH...

In India, average processing time is 55 days. Everything being processed much faster - even if applicants are on hold! It's official, they are only making us Pakistani's suffer. If you don't like the application process, why didn't you marry someone in the UK? You knew the application process when ...

All those who r waiting more then 6 months and nt asked for extra documents are they self-employed 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... Application: (LHE) 19/07/13 Status: Visa under process since 01/08/13 RFC....

Newbie1213 I also applied at 19/7/13 from Lahore and didn't ask for any further documents.just receive a letter headed delay letter in email.which is also a template and received by many applicant as many discus here in that forum. We never received a delay e-mail or anything either. Has somebody p...

You'll see :-) Aww, thank you - except my max time has come and gone :? It's almost been 28 weeks now! It's pretty horr...

Newbie 1213 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 loo...

Has anybody else had a reply which said that too ? 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 th...

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 :-( That's a bit rude for them to say that! Had you ...

Hi, I received the following email today after contacting the visa enquiries team for the first time last week - I've been waiting for almost 27 weeks now for my wife's visa application and still haven't heard anything at all. "Thank you for your e-mail enquiring about the progress of your wife...

Salaam All, My husband received a phone call today from the British High Comission. He was told that the marriage certificate we submitted was not valid, yet we had this checked before we sent off the application and were told it was sufficient. We need an english translated nikaah nama. Need some ...

[quote="SHAHFAISAL"]Salaam All, Hi, I think the best person to undertake translation would be a certified translator. Do you have a solicitor? If you do, you can perhaps ask them if they use anyone for their interpreting that speaks, writes and can read Urdu. I can't remember where I got m...

Thank you very much ,I really appreciate that.[/quote]

You're welcome! Hopefully it should be pretty straightforward and you'll find out but I'm pretty sure it's all okay - just them being slow in updating your status.

Hi TangoMike, Can I ask your timeline please? Thanks It should be showing in my signature, is that not the case? Applied: 6th June 2013 Under Process: 19th June 2013 Awaiting RFC. Ah-ha!

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 ...

No worries. Take a note of it on here if that's the case.

I think it's 08717043005.
