It usually takes 5-7 working days. Maybe you should forward the email you previously sent to them. I sent mine last night and hoping for a swift reply but I guess it depends upon how fast they want to reply. I've usually received an email after 2 days.

The email address changes according to the city:

visaenquiries.islamabad@fco.gov.uk

Mention the reference number
Spouse date of birth.
Your concerns of emailing

Hope that helps

I must admit you mashaAllah have a lot strength. I'm in a confused state. It's been more than 7 months since we applied.

If you don't mind me asking, what happened in the first time round?

[ALWAYSHOPE]

Here is a duaa everyone should read all times for all those who are waiting for their spouses to come. Some one has just told me. In sha Allah things will look more positive. May Allah help everyone overcome this difficult time, Ameen.

ALLAHUMMA LA SAHLA 'ILLAA MAA JA'ALTAHU SAHLAN WA 'ANTA TAJ'ALUL-HAZNA 'ITHAA SHI'TA SAHLAN

O Allah, there is no ease other than what You make easy. If You please You ease sorrow.

Hi Sana.jam12

Thats the dua i recite. My husband was also told to recite this 11 times after each namaz. Insha Allah our duas will be answered by Allah.

My husband first applied back in 2012 and then my husband case got refused, appealed unfortunately lost appeal. This is our second application and i found out that our application is on hold, sent them further documents and its been around 5 weeks and we still havent heard whether they accepted documents or not.

Its like being on a rollercoaster ride with us. I just hope it gets to the end soon.

Before i forget we applied from Islamabad.

We first applied in november 2012 n it got appealed in feb kuz we didnt have a contract letter and then we put it in for a review and sent the docs they wanted and then i didn't happen in that and then it went to court n it took a month or so and no1got bak to us so mu husband withdrew that one and now on oct 11 we re applied inshallah allah will grant visa this time Round

Looks like you've gone through what me and my husband have gone through. I really hope this time round your application is successful. I know exactly how you feel.

[Sana.jam12]

Wow you guys have been through a lot more than I have. SubhanAllah. I really hope your husbands get the visa just as mine in sha Allah, Ameen.

At least BHC, have had the courtesy to inform you of your case. I've not heard anything from them since the acknowledgement or when my husband has enquired. I really don't know what the reason could be

[ALWAYSHOPE]

To Sana.jam

Insha Allah we'll all hear good news soon.

I suppose no news is good news. If they havent processed your application then theres still a good chance visa will get granted because your not on hold and they just havent looked at it.

As you have already contacted your MP, they should get back to you soon. Its so not fair making you wait this long. They should atleast process application in the order they are submitted. Atleast this would be fair to everyone.

With our first application i contacted MP because they were taking along time to process our application and our MP told us that our application was processed the day before MP contacted them and even told us decsion that it was refused. So we knew our application was refused before collecting passport.

What you can do is ask your MP to contact them on your behalf. Its so not fair making you wait this long. They should atleast process application in the order they are submitted. Atleast this would be fair to everyone.

If an application is put on hold. How do BHC inform? Do they email or change the status via tracking website? I'm just confused. I have just involved my local MP for his assistance. His secretary called this evening, so she required a lengthy email explaining everything with dates and personal details of myself and my husband including postal address.

In sha Allah I hope the MP is able to get them to reply or give some sort of an explanation.

I make duaa that your husband gets here soon too in sha Allah. It's been way too long for you, poor you. I really feel your pain. It's really difficult trying to get on with life when all your energy is drained into this for no reason.

.ALWAYSHOPE -where did u apply from

[Sana.jam12]

Tazmaniaa- I think it's a good decision from your husbands behalf not to pester or email them. I find that that's probably the main cause to my husbands application being delayed. With vengeance they've put my husbands application aside coz I've asked too many questions lol. Although my husband wouldn't agree into emailing them, I managed to convince him, but it's the only way to kill my curiosity.

Lol thats why i wanna email them kuz its been along time and i aint hear anything but then i think what if that is the cause that delays all the applications kuz they keep pestering with emails id rather wait then pester them jus incase they take double the time... The bas**rds ... Any excuse to delay lol.x

We were told that our application was on hold by email. I checked my husband's email daily because i knew if our application were to get on hold they would email to let us know. In the letter it also stated that they would post a copy out aswell, which my husband received after a weeks time.

I personally think that you and tazmaniaa applications are not put on hold. I think that by emailing them once for an update is ok, but if harassing them i think they end up blocking email addresses and therefore some people dont get replies back.

[ALWAYSHOPE]

To Tazmaniaa

My husband applied from Islamabad. He applied in September and we heard back that application was on hold in January.

Just keep thinking positively. Your right Allah knows best. I hope we all hear soon i'll pray for u, sana.jam and everyone on the forum for visa's to get granted and patience for those who are eagerly still waiting.

I also gathered from this forum if they dont respond after sending further documents, then they havent accepted documents and the only way to find out and make sure is to email them. I am dreading this is the case for me and husband, however therefore i am avoiding emailing them and instead hoping Allah grants husband visa.

Sister a humble request can we please not write Arabic using English alphabets, a slight error in pronunciation or grammatical error could change the meaning of the word. May Allah swt protect us all.

[Zahid.R]

Aslamualaicum .. i applied 11/03/2014 .. visa status : Application forwarded to islamabad OC on 11/03/2014 .. Would like to hear from anyone who has applied as a Carer ????

[Safikazmi12]

Dear Sister u asked from me abt the status of visa change.
so i send them a email on the gerry islamabad address,
isbvacmgr@gerrys.com.pk
my email text
Dear sir,
From above mentioned subject i would like to request you please update me about my current status because from 20 Jan 2014 i am continously checking my status on your website. But the status is still same "Application forwarded to Islamabad OC on 20 Jan 2014".
Therefore you are requested to please update me about my current status either its under process at BHC or not?

After 2 working days they replied me:
Dear Respected,



Thank you for your email.



Regarding your query, kindly note that the questioned application is still under process at the High Commission. Please note that application processing for settlement applications could take up to 25 working weeks. However this time is not fixed and may vary from application to application. In any case, Gerry’s office informs the applicants once their applications are received at visa application centre.



In the meanwhile, please keep monitoring the status of your application through our website http://www.ukvacpk.com
