follow this link and find your circumstances and research that section till you fully understand your position. Too many people are being refused because they don't check the full rules when it comes to financial requirements.
https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https% ... Fj6TxO&s=1
Your documents must be within 28 days of the submission day not the day you pay or submit online. The day you go to Gerrys!
Check you pay slips and check you statements they have to match, its amazing how many errors I have heard about!
On 1 page show how you meet the financial requirements, show all your calculations and ref to there rulings
Any large deposit of money must be explained (I sold my previous car) you must show evidence and show transfers
The sponsor letter needs to be good, explain how you met, got married, your employment position, your plans together, living arrangements, how you 2 communicate and finally any issues that you want to explain and clarify.
Write a content page, and on the content page state any refusals you have had in the past and why, make everything clear!
If you are going send gifts or money use companies that can provide you with proof.
Access you living arrangements and check what documents you need to provide, Housing Inspection report is not always required.
Book your appointment within 28 days of the last pay slip! its best to apply 1-2 weeks after you get your 6th payslip.
If you can go to Pakistan, I've noticed that its mostly the sponsor doing the running around and gathering the evidence, therefore you know everything better... if you can go to Pakistan then go and assist your partner in the final stages of applying.
The last thing is to only submit if you are 100% satisfied that the application is good enough to get you the VISA its your job to satisfy the rules.
You should make a list of all the important key details on hand and ever 3 weeks or when ever you want to email them using their international enquiry service to get an update, always send these details it will allow them to find the application more efficiently.

The emails theory everyone is going crazy over is correct but don't set your heart on it. Although my wife got all 3 emails on the same day very close together and the ref no on VISA and in the email matches. I know the suspense is killer but you must remain calm.
Have patience and don't fight about the VISA.... the hardest thing from this list.
I'm sure there are more tips but I can't think of any at the moment. - people may add if they wish too!
2 things need to happen for you to get VISA, you have to put 100% effort and then Allah will BLESS your effort. Please guys, research research research and to be honest I got 95% of my info of this forum so you don't have to look far, So thank you to everyone on the forum and thank you to Allah!
Just remember this is a TEST, if the marriage can handle long distance for a long period of time then it can handle all the minor things in life. So thank Allah for providing this TEST for us to better us!

All the best.
Wasalaam - nope my friend is also yet to hear anything back. Chalo In Sha Allah hopefully this will be good week for you both. If they're looking at December applications, they will want to wrap up previous months applications.December13 wrote:Salam rudey786 unfortunately not yet.. I honestly don't know what they are checking up on because my latest payslip was over 28 days old I thought tht it would be a straight refusal and tht we should hve heard back by now.. in sha Allah maybe like December.1st we will also be lucky.. has ur friend heard anything back yet?
Just pray to Allah (SWT), inshaAllah it will be fine. Islamabad is taking longer than Mirpur and Lahore seems to be taking longer than Islamabad. InshaAllah you will hear in the next few days. I think it would be last week of November for Islamabad this week.December13 wrote:Salam rudey786 unfortunately not yet..
