Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[BilalMohammed]

Really sad about your refusal brother, yeah just stay strong and inshallah soon you will get it granted.

This is the checklist my solicitor gave me to use and didnt submit my application until every point was met sufficiently. Hope it can help.

hi i just got a quick question i applied the same way as you , what do you mean by spouse declaration what was this for

Hi,

That's a letter my wife wrote about how we met and our relationship since we have been married. So how we stayed in contact and kept in touch with each other. It was about 300/400 words

[Mahanoor]

Salam alaikum, my wife got an email today, i was wondering how many others have received the same email?

Good one Mahnoor. you are trying to read between the lines. There is absolutely no indication whatsoever to support your conclusion in those email. Not sure how have you reached this conclusion that receiving 2 emails are some sort of positive sign. Can you please shed more light on the subject. thanks

Hi.... I am new to this forum. Has anyone applied from Mirpur in October 2014?

[Ibbzy]

Sister Mahanoor,

Currently ive received 5 emails regarding my wifes visa application. Does that constitute to her getting a visa? im almost certain it doesnt, however im still confident my wife shall in sha Allah get her visa, as we meet the requirements, if someone doesnt get a visa, its because Allah swt hasnt ordained it for you yet, when its meant to happen, nothing will stand in its way in sha Allah. So sister i suggest dont worry about the amount of emails you receive but rather work on getting a result from UKVI. In sha Allah everyone gets there visa's soon. No hard feelings sis and apologies if i said anything wrong.

Salam

Hi.... I am new to this forum. Has anyone applied from Mirpur in October 2014?

Hi I applied from Lahore in October.

My wife received the standard email response.

This stated that it would normally take 3 months to process our forms but due to a backlog it will take 6 months.

So we should hear from they by the end of April.

However I'm thinking of emailing them at the end of January to see whats going on.

[nabeelsultan2000]

Hi
What English language Certificate did you submit with your application becuase thats one of the reasons they do an interview

i have submitted IELTS got 7 Bands Alhamdulillah

[nabeelsultan2000]

going to have interview tomorrow 8 December 2:30pm they are taking my wife's interview on mobile Phone as well

any idea about Questions?

Have anyone attended the interview?

[Maria123]

I recieved the same standard email aswl and got told it will take longer due to backlog.
Yes it would be a good idea to email them in January and I will be doing the same.

They have conducted interviews in July this year due to concern around the authenticity of English Language tests. Do you have anything peculiar around your case? what language test have taken? They rarely conduct interview now a days though. All the best!

[ali_shah]

Hi everyone. My name is Ali.

I received the exact same Email from BHC few days ago, saying my application is under consideration ect. I have been very worried. I submitted my application in June 2014 and I have been waiting.... does anyone know what happens next?

also how long has everyone been waiting for?

[Sugarplum786]

Its so Annoying the fact that they dont process Pakistan visa cases quick enough, They seem to process parts of the other world so much quicker like india for example!! They take agesss for pakistan to even look at the case I applied on 26th still not been looked at by an eco! And then christmas new year will come and there will be a furthur delay!! I dont understand why the ecos cant find a reason quick enough to grant or not grant a visa!!!

is this for the A1 tests or something else?? Because my husband did an A1 test with city and guilds and it just says first class or pass

[Sugarplum786]

Thank you makes more sense now, my husbands done his A1 with city and guilds and they gave two certificates for listening and speaking one which said pass and one said first class pass, I really hope they accept city and guilds, the results came online and then certificates were posted, but on the certificates it just says name date of birth test taken and pass or not doesnt say nationality or anything or where it was taken from, but it probably does online??
