Just need to make sure the exact amount is deposited into the account as stated on the payslips and then everything should be fine
so does that mean that it has to be deposited the same time you receive the payslip?
A few days before or after the payslip issued is fine as most companies will not pay you in the same date as the payslip. However if it is after a week or two after the payslip is issued then I think it will direct more scrutiny

These were 2 automatic emails sent by UKVI from the following email address: ISLAMVisaInfo@fco.gov.uk
My wife hasn't received a call as of yet to collect but i'm hoping she receives a call tomorrow to collect from Mirpur, that way we will know for definite inshallah before christmas closure.

Everyone who received 2 e-mails from UKVI stating application is processed and then application is concluded have received visas. The email which states the application has been concluded contains a reference number i.e. Ref: 17600** which i believe is the visa number in the passport. Could anyone who recently obtained a visa verify this is correct? thx
Hi Ali,

That's what I have seen so far as mentioned just few minutes ago. If you get two emails you are granted visa, if not unfortunately you are in trouble. Regarding Ref: number will be unique to everyone so it might not be 17600**, but the two emails will be as follows:

1. Update on your UK visa application - GWF************

Which says it is processed

2. Your Visa Application @ Islamabad (with Unique Ref: Number)

Which says it is concluded

Hope this helps and sorry if I am the bearer of bad news for you guys.


Now this is scary cz i have only received one email today from islamvisainfo@fco.gov.uk that your uk visa app has been processed and will now be returned to the VAC.

Should i wait for another email :( ? if i dont get it then it will mean i am in trouble ? :(

sorry to hear about your refusal :( did you get 1 email or two from them? i got just one and i am afraid too !!!!

hope you re-unite with your partner soon !!! lots of prayers for you.....


Moa7, I blv my docs will come on Thursday or Friday , lets see if you get it before me but i guess we both will get together :)

Hi I'm assuming you applied from isb hence why your app was ready to collect straightaway as it was processed there. However my wife's app is being sent back to mirpur Which may take a day or two

Thank you very much Inshallah.The refusal reasons are quite ridiculous.I nshallah the decision will be overturned.Only address is the First Tier Tribunal(Liecester).There is no address on the refusal pages for islamabd etc.Should i send it to UK address.

you have to submit complete set of docs again for appeal purpose which u sent originally? i thought those would only relate to issue for which visa is denied..

for example if u r rejected on accomodation or financial req

do you need to provide all other docs like bio data contact evidence , english language , tb certficate everything?
