My husband got his letter from employer! And i don't thinks its right because it doesn't say annual gross salary! And the period over which he was paid this salary! For the first 3 months of the job he was under the financial requirement of £18,600 but then from may he received a promotion and he is now eligible for the requirement. Please comment i have attached the letter
He would need to ask his employer to include a line in this letter to state his gross salary being £18941.88 and date it started (1578.49x12=18941.88), letter must also state, type of employment permanent/temporary/contracted, hours worked/full time/part time.

Hi there, hope everyone is doing well.

I just wanted to confirm again, that it wont cause an issue for our spouse visa application if my husband who is the applicant from Pakistan moves house as he's was previously renting? The owner of the house is wanting to sell the house, which means he will have to move and find another place to rent.

Also if we will need to notify anyone as if he moved, then his address would be different.

Hope someone can help me on this. As we want to be sure that him moving wont cause an issue.

Thank you

Think I'm just being impatient, but considering my first refusal took 14 months I'm just really worried

Thanks for ur response. Means a lot when someone's been in the same boat

Hi Mrs N, hope you are well :)

I saw your post and was just wondering, have they started to look at applicants applications who have applied in November?

As so far i've seen on here they are doing the September applicants applications.

When did you apply?

My husband applied online on the 13th of November and documents were handed at Lahore on the 28th of November.

Thank you :)
Salaa guys - have they started looking at November applications? We haven't asked for any updates/enquiries yet. I think i might do next week when I'm back in UK (currently sunning it out here in AJK :-D)
Quick question - when you email do you have to email from the address you gave to Gerrys? Or can I do it from my email address with all the details?
Thanks.
Online Form: 14 Nov 14
Documents & bio: 21 Nov 14
Requested to send additional docs: 2 Feb 15
Concluded email received: 4 Feb 15
Visa collected: 6 Feb 15 :-D
Cat A - Mirpur

May Allah (swt) grant everyone success with their Visas In Sha Allah.

I phoned one of the immigration solicitors and they said its not a problem, but my husband will have to go to Lahore where he submitted the documents and let them know about the address change.

W-salaam rudey786, I think they prob have as people found out after emailing them for an update.

You should do it from the email that you gave to Gerrys, and you will have a link to where you email from the email that they have sent you if you ever need to contact them.

I'm thinking to waiting a little more, and see how it goes.

Hi well we do know now before we pick the passport up as those who have got the visa will review a second email with a reference number this is stamped on the passport and it also says the email has been CONCLUDED
Those who only relieve one email that is processed email unfortunately do not get the visa this true information as two people asked someone who works at the immigration centre also those who have applied realised that the reference number in the second email is the same which is in the passport.
Hope this helps please correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

my cousins wife got an email yesterday that hers has been processed and she has got a call today telling her to collect her passport (not a second email). what does this mean?
