I applied from Mirpur on 24/6/14
Is there no need to enter the GWF number to prove identity?
Also, the email address used on the forms when submitted was that of the agent who we used to help prepare our case. Will emailing from my own email address not cause any problems? Will they reply to the email address I will use now to contact them, or reply to the original email address supplied on the application paperwork?
Thanks

After a A whole month of wait. a response from UKVI "With regards to your query, your visa application has not been processed
yet. We are waiting for an entry clearance officer to access your
application"
I understand it's early days for me as people have been waiting for a long while. But this wait is excruciatingly painful!!
Is there anyway you can fast track your application? sorry for being naive

Salam All,
Have only just come across this board.
Timeline
Applied - 14/02/14
City - Islamabad
Visa Type - Spousal Visa for wife
Updates
27/02/14 - waiting ECO
10/06/14 - called UKIV - advised waiting to be processed
09/07/14 - called UKIV - advised that further documentation required (visa delayed). They would not advise what information they require over the phone - i want to provide any relevant information as quickly as possible so me and my wife can be together and get on with our lives.
Does anyone know the following
1) what sort of timescales apply to receiving letter/email of what further documentation is required?
2) how long they take to process after you have sent required documents back?

Hi everyone our Spouse Visagot rejected
We are looking to appeal
Could someone explain the process and how long it would take and what are the odds
The reason of refusal is they didn't believe I was working as I took time off for Birth of our twins so our pay slips were not cconsistent
We want to appeal we have children together
I'm in tears Iddon't know what to do
... Rubbish

Awww i am sorry to hear that. Please don't lose hope. I would suggest you to make a fresh application as appeal cases take ages. But this time do your homework and make sure all the paper work is complete. People have also given the list of all documents you require on this forum too. i saw someone got their visa in three weeks time after the refusal. So prepare a new application. InshAllah you will be fine.
Stay Blessed
xx

Sorry to hear that dont lose hope InShAllah everything will b ok soon. Appeal can take upto 8 months but do consult solicitors before appeal they can explain you how many chances of winning you have. I've heard if you lose the appeal it is hard to get visa after that soo you need to see some solicitors. Have they given you 28 days to appeal? Our prayers are with you
Applied in lahore on 04/07/2013
Under process 19/07/2013
Got a letter on 27/09/2013 its on hold
Doc submitted 17/10/2013

Zamzam - really disappointed with your refusal. It even bought tears to my eyes.
Gather yourself together and fight on huni.
If you are in a position to re-apply that will be your best option as decisions are made alot quicker these days.
Appeal process is really long and it really depends how strong your case is. What inconsistencies were there in your payslips.
