Only bank statements and payslips need to be dated within 28 days of submission, otherwise visa will most likely be refused. All other documents can be up to a few months old.

Also make sure employment letter states your GROSS SALARY, And not salary as Eco may refuse application on this minor basis. I have seen it happen before.

Guys I need help!!!!
Our documents still haven't been returned to us even after we withdrew our application. I'm thinking we'll never get them back at this rate and we plan to reapply in a few months time. He's been to gerrys, and they don't have anything so he says.
Should I just get my husband to redo everything?!? I don't think he photocopied everything at the time.
Can I use as photocopy of the nikka nama?!?
Can I get the marriage certificate from the union council again?
And what about the English test?!?
What should I do?!? :?

You only require original nikah namah and english translated copy which can also be attested by a solicitor.

Were you not given 2 copies of the nikanamah; one each for both husband and wife?
If not you can get copy of nikah namah from your local Union council if from mainland Pakistan or a copy from mufti if you are from Azad kashmir. Just make sure that the copy is re-stamped with union council stamp(if from mainland Pakistan) or by mufti(if from azad kashmir).

English test certificate not sure. You could asking the issuing board to supply you with a copy of the certificate. Worst case is english test will need to be done again.

I sent them an email last weeks asking for a update on my application, I mentioned it has been over 9 months and I haven't heard anything, they said they have escalated my case and will get back to me in 5 working days, they got back to me today (today was 5th working day) just waiting for a call and a positive response, In'Shaa'Allah soon, waited too long already.

Does anyone know after how many days they contact us after this email???

Please remember me in ur Duas brothers and sisters, Jazaka'Allah khair
