2.5 is a long time and you must have spent quite a bit of money. Why were you refused before?

Been married for over 3years still no visa keeps getting rejected over different reasons. Now in appeal process (got paid 50pence extra) Inshallah I shall win my appeal

To i need help.

Yes its a long time and we have spent alot of money. However, whatever happens, happens with the will of Allah tala.

We were refused before because I was paid cash in hand and did not bank my full salary. But Alhumdulillah this time round all was good and we got visa within 6 weeks.

To salma123aslam

Wishing u all the best with your appeal!

Pray for me please.

Just got off the phone with UKVI only to be told that my application has not yet been assessed by an ECO, Told her about the email i received on 02/04 stating 'found that there are no current updates. This could
be because your application was submitted recently or the details that you
have provided above are incorrect' for which she apologized.

Asked her to escalate my application but she said that they can't do it over the phone.

Send them an email and ask to escalate that way. It's been 8-9 weeks right?

Yeah aminoacid 8 weeks, should I wait for a couple of days and then escalate it?

What has happened about yours? have you heard anything yet?

[aminoacid88]

There's no set time. I was told 3 weeks ago that a decision has been made and I'm still waiting. Hopefully you'll be lucky and you'll get the call soon inshallah

[shafAhmed]

InshaAllah we hear soon.
Three weeks is a long time. Have you spoke to them about it?
Which centre did you apply from?

You can wait a bit more then escalate - especially since we know that they are taking much longer with applications from Karachi. You don't want to escalate and then receive the same thing again.
Nothing for me. It's week 12! I'll give them a call in a couple days

[aminoacid88]

InshaAllah we hear soon.

I applied from Karachi. They are taking longer with those applications than from other cities.
I escalated one week ago - I'm waiting for a response now. Because Friday and Monday were holidays it's taking them even longer!
Waiting and having patience is the only thing we can do unfortunately
