[mohammed2000]

selaam alai kum,

This is the response i got from UKVI after two months of sending additional documents i can't even figure out if i am on hold or not?

Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigrations International enquiry service. Your application is still in process whilst further enquiries are going on. We hope that this has answered your query. For any further details, or should you need to contact us again please refer to our website at https://ukvi-international.faq-help.com Regards

GUYS OLD VISA TRACKING SERVICE IS NOT AVAILABLE ANY MORE!!!!!!!!!!

https://www.vfsglobal.org/UKG-PassportT ... tatus.aspx?

HAS any one manage to get the update from this site though? I don't think so, If you did then please share with us as well in what format did you use ( tracking id GWF or else) I've applied 14/04/14 so it has to be new tracking ID but this site is USELESS! Duago: Taqi

Dear Taqi,

Please use this link : https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-outside-uk

It will be best to use the email form as it is free. They will ask for your GWF number ( which is your application reference number) should be present on the application that you filled out online or in the email that they sent you to tell you that ur application has ben sent to UKVI.

Hope this helps!

[HELLO786]

Can someone please tell me what the S.Number is when withdrawing application?

[prayforus]

Ignore the S.Number, we did not fill that in when we withdrew our application.

Hi Prayforus,

Regarding the email u were sent about application being sent to Mirpur decision making centre, I read on expat forum someone mentioning theirs being sent to Lahroe decision making centre. Mine said Islamabad so I didn't make much of it.Could it be possible that they now have different processing hubs in different cities?

[prayforus]

I'm also on Expat forum.

Yes, I read the same in that thread which you are mentioning. They must have changed the process, reason being, it must be a lot quicker, keeping the documents inside the same city which you have applied in. This cuts the time sending the documents to Islamabad, and evens out the work-load.

Only worrying thing is, whether the people in these decision making centres are trained properly. I'm also curious to know whether the passport of the applicant is sent to Islamabad BHC to be marked, or whether they will do it all in the UKVI decision making centre.

Did you apply in Islamabad?

[sunshine83]

Yes applied from Islamabad. I see what u mean about the training but surely they would have someone senior supervising the decisions.

In my opinion I feel like having each cities own decision making centre should be taken as a positive. It gives me hope that now at least applications wont be piling up like they seem to have been in the past.

lets hope for the best!

hi majy

ask your accountant if he has an accountant friend who is registered with a body that their recognize and ask him if he is prepared to put his name on the accounts for you.
then submit that?

how many cases has your accountant put through and have been accepted?
