im not going to wait for eight or nine month so if this will bring result i am more than happy to accept.but i will wait next month and then go for this option.

Just curious: How can you go for a judicial review without having received a decision?

And apart from that, I was under the impression that JR's are not exactly quick, quite the opposite?

Judicial review is a type of court proceeding in which a judge reviews the lawfulness of a decision or action made by a public body.

Judicial review is a process by which the courts review the lawfulness of a decision
made (or sometimes lack of a decision made) or action taken (or sometimes failure
to act) by a public body. It is mechanism by which a judge considers whether a public
body has acted in accordance with its legal obligations and if not, can declare a
decision taken by it invalid.
GROUNDS OF CHALLENGE
The different grounds
Decisions by public bodies can be challenged on a number of grounds.
For example if,
• the public body does not have the power to make a particular decision, or it has
used a power which it does have for an improper purpose;
• the decision is irrational;
• the procedure followed by the public body is unfair or biased;
• the decision taken is in breach of the Human Rights Act;
• the decision taken is in breach of European Community Law;
• the public body failed to comply with one of its legal duties, for example, the
public sector equality duties
• Prohibiting orders: the public body is forbidden from doing something unlawful
in the future;
• Mandatory orders: the public body is ordered to do something specific which it
has a duty to do;
• A declaration, for example on a way to interpret the law in the future or a
declaration that legislative provision is incompatible with the Human Rights Act

I thought to email the ukvi to see if I get anything new about my application since I recently sent new documents and this what what I got

Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigration international enquiry
service.

With regard to your query, please be informed that from 28 July 2014, the

information can be found here:

Now does this mean all applicants on hold are 99.9% getting told that they have been refused ?

Those on hold would have been refused if this rule wasn't under criticism. But now its been cleared, one would presume that the cases that WOULD have been rejected, will now all be refused.

Check this article, it clearly says: " and now stand to be
refused"

Salaam muskaan1987,
why did they refuse your visa if you met the financial requirement?
can you please also tell me your timeline please

thanks

i have no sympathy for the 4000 cases that will be rejected due to NOT meeting the minimum income threshold. Thats 4000 cases that wasted case workers time who could have been spending that time processing cases that MEET the requirements.

No wonder why Pakistan Visa processing times have gone to over 6months. Making it worse for everyone else. If you dont meet the requirements, dont apply! Stop wasting everyones valuable time. People who do this prevent other couples from being able to be together quickly.

Also, the electricity goes out alot in Pakistan, which contributes for further delays in processing times. India however, being far more advanced than Pakistan dont have this problem. This is why India processing times are much faster!

Yeah well no one asked so keep your low opinion to yourself
Just to clarify those 4000 cases on hold are not applicants just in Pakistan but all over the world. These people have paid the full fees just like everyone else, if there has been a mistake in the application which causes rejections, well guess that's life ! And many people on hold DO meet the financial requirement but just didn't submit the evidential requirements ... YOU stand in no place to judge ... Why don't u just sit back patiently, and wait for your outcome okay
What other people do regarding the applications should be none of your concern, you just hope the best for yourself ... If you don't like it then don't apply and wait for the processing times to go back down to their levels and the apply

[Faz1985ashraf]

Salam all hope you have a good Eid despite being away from your loved ones.

I have a question.

Like most my wife's application was also put on hold! But I meet the min income threshold. The reason why they held our application was cos they lost some documents which I resent. We have received confirmation that they received the new docs. So I'm a little confused will they consider the new documents in the application? If they do then we will deffo get the visa, it's just a matter of time! But if they don't consider the documents then what was the point of asking for them?

Hopfully Insha Allah out application is not refused due to some documents getting misplaced by the high commission.

[prayforus]

If your documents were at the time of application then yes one would assume you'd get the visa, that's if you meet all the requirements for them to issue a visa.

i agree with saf, zee wot u have jus sed is so horible and heartless. u have no idea of peoples circumstances so that does not give u the ryt to make such low comments.
many people hu r on hold have no idea why! over stupid reasons that ino personally have not been picked up on in other peoples cases who were in the same situation.
any one applyin for ther spouse should feel for others and want for them what they want for themselves but u only seem to b concerned about ur self.

That is a very selfish comment you wrote. Your comments just suggests that you care about yourself only. I certainly take offence on what you wrote and i am sure others on here who are on hold would have felt the same.

Let me just get this straight YES i am on hold, BUT i applied with over £19000 HOW IS THAT FAIR that im on hold when i meet the income threshold. You seem to think you know all that. Go on explain what is fairness in this???

[ALWAYSHOPE]

To Everyone on hold

Dont get upset with Zee09 comment posted. I would love to hear what this person's outcome is on there application. I wont be too surprised if its a refusal - seen as Zee09 thinks she submitted perfect evidence when applying. Allah knows best. All i know i learnt his is my life what goes around, comes around.

Insha Allah we will hear soon. Even though its not looking good that it is likely we'll get refused, however theres still hope so keep on praying for one another.

However personally i do think that those who have applied below £18,600 income, they will definatelty be refused therefore we still stand a chance as we earned above this amount. I heard that someone got refused who earned below this amount so they are looking at cases now. Allah knows best.

Still preyin for us all we wil not lose hope til we gt an ansa!

[prayforus]

Can everyone calm down and not argue.

Time and time again we are told each application is different, no two applications are the same and reflect a persons individual circumstance at the time of application.

Just be patient.
