Goodluck Ket1, hope ur application had been accepted Insha Allah.


I feel soo disheartened & annoyed. My husband applied on 04/10/2013.
I rang their UK helpline number 2 days ago, and a Chinese man answerd who could barely speak any English!!
It took me over 5mins just to clarify 3bits of info witg him; my name, my husbands name & my contact email address.
I couldnt believe i was paying £1.37/min for this call!
The man could barely communicate!!
I had to spell my email address out 3times phoentically!
Then first he said, a decision has been made. Then he changed his mind & said that he will send me an email, i need to fill out all of the info in the email & send it back to him so he can escalate my case. Worried that this guy didnt know what he was talking abt, i asked to spk to a manager. The chinese man refused to let me spk to one.
I was shocked. So i politely, completed the call and hung up & surprisingly after waiting all day - no email arrived!! :(
Yest i rang again - and i tried to expln my situ go the man abt already hving paid for a call the previous day, but he just simply refused to listen without taking my card details first (for payment).
He told me my application was still under process & he will escalate this for me.
It makes me sooo angry that these ppl working in their call centre are so useless! Yet they are penalising Pakistanis for their English tests!

Their own staff have no idea what they are saying/telling ppl.
In total - that call cost me £22 and ZERO result!
I wont be ringing them again!
They literally tell u the same thing as they do in the email.

Funnily enough - last week ISLMBD EMBASSY rang my husband just to tell him that they are receiving all the emails from his wife (me) and that a decision will b made very soon.

They rang specifically to say that!! Why could they just mke a decision & ring him?? They are just wasting time and after a year of waiting.. I have a feeling they will find sum nitty gritty petty reason to refuse my husband.
Bcos thats what they have done with majority of the applicants who waited around a year!
This is just sheer torture! :'(

Sorry to hear that. I would say take ur case to media. Because they say all cases will be decided within 6 months. Its not good.
Thanks

hi all i received this email from my mp


Good Morning xxxx,



Andrew has now received a response from the Home Office regarding your husband, xxxxxxx application for a UK visa.



They have confirmed that the British High Commission in Islamabad is aware of all of the information which has been submitted in support of xxxxxs application, and is now being given full consideration.



Unfortunately, The British High Commission in Islamabad have been subject to disruption during the past two weeks due to protests against the government in Islamabad, resulting in no staff resource and lost productivity due to blocked roads and the security situation.



As you husband, xxxxxxx's, application was submitted in October it is expected that you should receive a decision shortly, as currently The British High Commission in Islamabad are currently working on applications submitted in October.



If you have any further enquiries about this issue, or if you would like my assistance with any other matter, please do not hesitate to contact my office again.



Kind regards,


xxxxxx


anyone received anything similar email? does this mean they will look at my extra documents again?

To umeraali,

Yep I'm applying next week Friday inshallah. What I've done is staple I.e staple all payslips together and staple each individual bank statement but whole punch the whole lot and attach a treasury tags to them. I've also used fold back clips for each section I.e. Clip all; housing docs, employment docs, applicant docs, sponsor docs, communication docs etc. I've put the docs in order of my checklist I've made and hopefully nothing will go missing :)

Inshallah everyone who is In the process of applying or has applied hears very quickly with successful outcomes.
