Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[freddy786]

sis what was the reason for refusel?

[th3]

You're not allowed a phone or extra people inside Gerry's...

But I went in, and took my phone and wifeys. Cha ching... that's Pakistan for you

Gifts, they do look at as suspicious vis-a-vis "we don't seem convinced that the money in your accounts is entirely yours". They don't follow science, they just have rules to save their a$$es. The rules aren't as hard cover as some make them out to be. The interpreter is not a computer, it's just a human.

Best wishes to all!

Oh, and 1 complaint won't matter... unless people team up to complain. The bigger, the better... that's democracy

yes everything which supporting your application.

[MAH_CMMG]

there was a discrepancy between 2 of my wage slips and bank statement - hence the refusal...

We are going to reapply InshaAllah.

Can anyone please tell me where can one take the now-approved-english-test in Lahore and which one? My husband did the toiec A1 test last time but I guess that isn't accepted anymore?

Many thanks.

[MAH_CMMG]

p.s. We never got a call for RFC, we emailed them, they said the decision was made on the 8/09/2014 and your docs will be with you in the next few days...we recieved this email today so my husband went to the gerry's office to check, just in case and his documents were there and collected them...

Can someone please tell me after how long you get passport once you get the status : decision has been made.

[sami3]

Slaam All,

Can someone please tell me after how long you get passport once you get the status : decision has been made.

It varies from case to case. I have seen someone getting after two weeks and some have to wait for 4 weeks.

Was your application on hold? how did they inform you about the decision?

do you mind me asking what English test did your wife take?

[AMRKHN]

I am not sure which test she took I think it was A1 English and language test. But don't worry in shaa Allah we both will get our wife's visas really soon.

Is there anyone who actually got their wife's visa this month? At the moment all I'm seeing is people getting rejected , may Allah grant everyone their husbands/wife visas ameen.

[fawad iftikhar]

AOA Guys,

I am new to this forum though i have been reading this forum on daily basis since the time i started to apply for spouse visa.

i applied from Karachi , Pakistan 2 weeks ago and what i have seen so far is that people are waiting for ages already .

I wish to know about the decisions made in Karachi this year and how many of you got it early ? i have traveled to UK before on business visit sponsored by UK employer and i got my visa within a week. can somebody help and share with me their experiences i am so worried and sick I will appreciate the replies , wish u all good luck InshaAllah xxxx

[Have faith]

Don't worry everyone In'Shaa'Allah everyone that's waiting will get good news always remember no news is good news as they say.

@ sami3 and phaara I have been waiting since December 2013 and not heard anything yet either so they can't be working on jan applications as December hasn't been looked at. I'm still waiting and same standard emails from them, i am going to call them if I haven't heard by the end of the week,
It's gone over 9 months for me and still waiting. It's a joke but all we can do is dua and wait, In'Shaa'Allah all will be well soon.

[wasimkhan]

Hi,

I have just submitted a spouse visa application for my wife to settle in the UK.

I have put the planned travel date as 3 months and 6 days from the date of application.

I understand the ruling is that you can only only apply within 3 months.

Does anyone know if this is going to be an issue? It is over 3 months yes but only by a few days so I thought it would be OK? Surely they wouldn't refuse over a few extra days??

She has her biometric appointment today.

Thanks in advance!
