My wife was also telling me that lady at gerrys told her it's true that if you get a reference number in the email from UKVI then that means that you have definetly been granted the visa. But she did say that it doesn't necessarily have to be two emails, but having the reference in the email is the main clue.

[reggie123]

Hey Guys,

Moa7 congrats your here already, my wife applied 8 days after you from karachi as well, im hoping to hear something soon. Please do let me know if people recieve emails from UKVI today about visas being proccessed/ concluded.

Thanks

Timeline

Any1s appeal been overturned? How long till you recieved letter to submitt passport? My wifes refusal has been overturned, just waitin for letter to submitt passport! I just want her here! Nearly 2 years...can sum1 help me and hoe long after once passport is submitted you get it back.

Normaly it takes 2 to 3 weeks to come but nowadays due to christms & new year they are delaying maybe. If its not come even after new year. Then u i think u should contact them. It will come soon IA

Have you recieved any letters?

No i didnt get any letter yet

No need to worry, if you inquired then this a standard reply they give, i recently asked (2 weeks ago)for one and they said they havent received mine so dont rely on their replies, unless they email you themselves.

After how long do they start to process the application, my application was submitted on 26th november almost 5weeks and they're still not started to process it

UKVI standard processing times are 12 weeks. Recently applications from Pakistan have been taking around 4 months to conclude. Once the application is being looked at (under process) the turnover is quiet quick so long as all required paperwork is submitted.

[sophia20]

Hi guys
Would the Eco's pick out the times we called/contacted our spouses in Pakistan? I mean like if we're at work and call/skype on our breaks?! Lol
Will they scrutinize this?

And congrats Ali!

[rajasohaibmaroof]

My spouse contacted the visa enquiry line from the uk. She was told that the application is on hold awaiting further checks and enquiries. And when my wife asked if the enquiries were regarding the evidence she submitted about herself (as she is the sponsor) she was told that they would contact me (the applicant) and ask me questions regarding the documents. Has anyone received any calls from the embassy? Or know what types of enquiries they make? As far as I am aware, our documents were as good as they get and my wife earns well over the required threshold (£41k+) so I'm kind of nervous now as to what they are potentially going to ask.
