confusing email from British High Commission Islamabad

Post by smallfamily27 » Mon Oct 13, 2014 4:45 pm

Hi everyone

We applied for the spouse visa back in January. Got refused in March then we appealed. We have got the court date which is sometime in January. However today I received an e-mail from British High Commission Islamabad which is confusing coz it says "You will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre when your passport and documents are ready for collection" but the point is they haven't got my wife's passport. I filed the appeal paper work here from the UK.

Came from: (ISLAMVisaInfo@fco.gov.uk)
Subject: Update on your UK visa applicatio​n (GWFxxxxxxxxx)

Here is the e-mail as below. So can someone pls shed some light or share their experience.

I have checked all my paperwork but there is no GWF number anywhere. I have got a totally different reference number since the first day.

Hi

Now, today my wife received a call from Gerry's office Lahore... they did confirmed her name and asked her to collect her passport and docs back. My wife told them that she already collected her docs and passport back in March sometime. The staff replied that they have received some post from the UK embassy for her to collect.

Its really confusing coz we have all the docs and the passport. I have got her court date which is in January for her spouse visa appeal. So my question... is there any chance that home office sent her a letter through Gerry to let her know that they have reversed their decision? Does home office do that? Thanks in advance
