If you got married in azad kashmir you don't need a computerized nikahnaama, don't forgetto give original nikahnama and to get english nikahnama notarized by a notary public in kutchery.

Thats what i was thinking , i have original nikah nama and then a english one so 2, at the top it says something to do with some act 197 i dont know what , something to do with the regestration. I also got married in mirpur.

ALL the information is on gov.uk - https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-pakistan

Cheaper option is not to apply for UK visa and stay in Pakistan.

Getting a settlement visa is not cheap. You must be prepared to pay for all the costs if you want to enter the UK.

Good luck.

December13 did they contact your employer ?

No. Should they have done so by now? How about you?

I'd feel better submitting the vaf4a hand written form as well just in case lol
True one of the forms doesn't require a signature weird! Lol

I didn't go Islamabad, my husband did but I photocopied everything in the UK and kept a copy for myself, and sent a copy of all the documents along with the originals to be submitted.
I think they want photocopies as well, I'm sure most ppl on here sent photocopies as well, personally I think you should!?!?

And thank you! Good luck with ur application as well!

Hey. we had photocopied all the documents as well but oddly they didn't accept it. They only took the originals. But when my hubbys mate gave his application a month before us they took both original and photocopy. Strange...

Keep us posted!

Salaam December13 - you're in same boat as my friend who applied in November. Today her husband got a call! they asked few questions like when did u meet spouse? How do u communicate? When was nikkah?
Then they said we'll call when passport is ready for collection.

Anyone else been in this situation?

Salam alaikum all, My wifes visa was rejected in the middle of December, due to HMRC records not being updated through an issues of there RTI system. I put in an appeal as i was assured by 2-3 solicitors that if the system is updated and letters from HMRC prove this then it would be overturned by a ECM. How ever that has not happened even with HMRC providing letters that its not my fault that the system was not updating itself and confirmed my upto date income. I ask on what basis would an ECM still refuse the appeal? Also what is the best step to take now?

Well in the initial refusal letter they said HMRC had no records of my employment in the financial year 2013-2014. HMRC gave two letters in which they stated ( due some technical issues between HMRC employers unit and my accounts, they cannot give exact details of how much i have been paid and how much tax has been paid by my employer and the second letter stating that my pay is upto date as of december 2014.

[tanzeela]

what if my husband has 2 jobs, will he falls into categoryB?

Hey why would they look at 2013? I thought they only look at past 6 months?

[Ibbzy]

they looked at it because when i applied the 6 months covered across 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 because when i applied my six months covered Feburary 2014 to july 2014 which covers both financial years.

Ibbzy ... So u got the decision on ur appeal u did ???

[roger354]

December13 on 11th feb i got an email stating that decision was delayed and further enquiries were being done then On 25th i received another email in reply to my escalation that pre assessment was done and application was in eco's queue i think these email responses are just generic crock of b.s

I think his appeal got rejected shreen i think its better to re apply u get a decision fairly quickly but that's just my opinion

I don't know man God knows what checks they are doing, i thought maybe you heard something maybe you should ask for a update

[sophia20]

Submitted my application today!

December 13 I thought you have to submit photocopies aswell, weird they didn't accept yours!? Someone on this forum said that photocopies are only kept at Gerry's. I guess its the original stuff that matters really!

[Ibbzy]

Shreen, the ECM reviewed it and decided to uphold the refusal, so now have to wait for a date for appeal. I am thinking why refuse even when HMRC have given letters confirming employment? Next step is to reapply.
