It's getting difficult for me to stay positive. I am actually starting to lose hope, I've been married, just over 2.5 years now. Not had a chance to go back as I've been working my backside off trying to meet all the criteria, even though I have more then enough savings for CAT D to combine with CAT A.
My wife applied but due to the savings not being in my account for the 6 month period, they rejected her first application. She reapplied again this second time with the same categories on the 25/05/2014 and handed her documents in on the 30/05/2014.
In the second week of June she made a enquiry on the status of her application the reply was that it was with an ECO and further/enquiries and checks were being made. I complained in September 2014, to the home office who forwarded that to the BHC in Islamabad. The reason for the delay in decision was because of the back log, and they even said that the case hadn't even been seen by an ECO!
Fast forward today, after escalating our case, same reply as before, 'Further enquiries/checks being made'
I even made it easy for them and showed how I met the criteria as her sponsor, gave more then a years bank statements and payslips to show I was still with the same employer etc..
Now it's starting to take toll on myself, as I'm just dreading what the news will be when they finally give us an answer. I feel that my wife's application is straight forward, I provided them with everything they need to make their checks.
So why is it taking so long? Why do they BS so much? Why are the incompetent in what they do.
Whilst I am very happy for others, I feel as those who are waiting patiently from earlier on in the year are being made fools of.
I would also like those who have got their Visa's and still post on this forum.
Please pray for all of us as we are still stuck in the rut.
