Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[Ket1]

Yes guys thy told him thmselves ur visa didnt happen go outside and read the refusal letter
As far as i know thy tell u as wen my brother in law went thy gave him everythng in a clear plastic wallet so u could see anyway
I dont no what thy gave myn bak in will tl u all once ive seen in Pak as i wil b bringing all th old paper work bak thn
I rely dont no what to say. I wil definately one day make a complaint on how thy have been so unprofessional and how their staff r not cut out to work in places like this inshallah once this application is successful . I wil never forget this pain as it has ruined my health so bad

[Ket1]

The visa people randomly rang my husband on friday to ask if had picked his pasport up and wen he said yes they said ok and just put the fone down
I realy dont understand their system and how unprofessional these people are clearly not being aware of whats going on as they should already know we have submitted our online application and r reapplying
Btw guys dont no if i told u befor but wen my husband wen to pik up his pasport the staff wer so rude they thrust the papers in his hand and said its been refused go outside and read the refusal letter, thy also had the wrong date on the refusal letter of when i applied. And these r people hu r making decisions on others lives

Yes Sami same place where submitted

Sis Please can you tell where did your husband go to collect his passport? was it the same place where he submitted his application?

[Ket1]

@Ket1 it's disgusting the way they treated us, it's not as if they are doing anything for free we have paid for it, my husband paid for the premium lounge service 3,000rs to get message notifications etc, till this date he only ever got One message right at the beginning of our case, it has been 9 months and still nothing, I don't understand why they taking forever after charging us so much and ur right our nation needs to stand that's why I pray Imran khan wins in politics coz everyone else are money grabbing scheming people.

In'Shaa'Allah soon we will all get our decisions, good luck sis on submitting ur application.

I totally agree with u sis its all a money making scheme to them . Wen we applied last time you didnt pay online instead u paid wen u went there. Wen we foned and made the appt we asked th fee and they told us. Wen we went there they asked for an xtra 10 thousand rupees as to what thy said on the fone! Not evan a slight difference but 10 thousand rupees. We literally paid over more than im actually payin this tym and ths tym i have had to pay 895. These people r so stupid its unbelievable they think we're made of money. Thy want us to show we can support our spouses yet refuse us constantly so we keep paying over n over again - how the hell can we save if thy do ths. Then thy xpect u to work like dogs making over 18k whereas in this day n agr no one evan has a standard 10k job. Look at all these graduates who r siting at hme. Its so easy for thm being the ruling class 18k is nuthn for thm but some of us have to work day n night n scrounge from 3 4 jobs to make it all up. Yet wen peope dont evan visit their spouses they reject cases and moan. How th hell do thy xpect people to work so much and still go off n visit their husbands and wives.

I applied for UK Spouse Settlement VISA along with my two sons with Category D only on 06-11-2013.
As per HO calculation I have to show my cash saving of GBP 78,000/- in bank for a continuous period of SIX months.
I provided GBP 58,000/- in bank and difference from other sources like property, jewellery, car etc.
But they accept only GBP 58,000/- in bank as a cash savings and did not take other sources and finally refused our applications.
I am planning to apply again in February-2015 on Category D with their requirement of GBP 78,000/- in my bank as cash savings. I have arranged these savings through following sources.
1- Sale of Land through Power of Attorney in April-2013.
2- Cash amount transferred from my real Brother as a GIFT in my account.
3- Cash amount transferred from my Brother-in-law as a GIFT in my account.
Question 1: I want to know what type of evidences to show for above stated sources.
Question 2: Tenancy agreement provided in my previous application for the house, can I provide tenancy agreement for the same house in my next application.

1...You need declaration letter from them along with their passport copy (all attested by a reputable solicitor)
2...You can use the old tenancy agreement as long as it is valid.

[tallojani]

This is why when my wife will go to get her papers. I'll make her record the whole event on her phone. If they do mess her about, I'll take the matter to court.

No reason what so ever for Gerry's to know the outcome of the visa. They are just there to send documents back and forth.

you are not allowed to take mobile phones inside gerrys. (this only applies in Pakistan)

[fullahs]

Salaam Guys

I have been following this very closely and thank you to everyone who has been sharing their experiences as it is helping many people.
I need to send additional documentation to support my application. Does anyone know the address for BHC?

Has anyone posted any docs to them as of yet?

Thank you

[akhan4747]

HI guys this is my first ever post, i have been constantly looking at the progress of others for a while now.

I have a question for any lawyer of immigration, i applied for my wife's visa on the 15th of August, and 2 weeks later the firm i work at shut down. if i find new work will this effect my application as it has already been submitted?

[prayforus]

akhan4747, it could affect your application if they try to phone your work place and not manage to get through. Although it's stated many times, decisions are made on your circumstances at the time of application. You can only see and wait.

is your case on hold? i am just worried if they are only contacting those who were on hold then what about other applicants whose application have been delayed for no reason and they also been waiting for over 8 months. I am so pissed seriously. every time i ask them they reply that its been delayed while they do further checks/enquiries. I am sick of their standard replies.

I want to know where the hell is my application. I am earning 80% above the income threshold.

Someone tell me why they cant see my application???? Is there any other way out??? i am thinking of taking the application back atleast this wait will be over.
