Hi All,
I am a British citizen and am applying for my wife to come over to the UK from Pakistan (spouse visa).
My wife had her appointment in Lahore on 15th July. During this time the rules for document submission changed and while I sent the supporting documents to Sheffield, my solicitor wrongly advised me to send the VAF and appendix 2 to Pakistan to submit on day of her appointment.
Unfortunately, BHC Lahore did not accept the VAF and appendix 2 on the day of her appointment, but did take her passport in a sealed envelope and gave her a ref number. They advised that the transition period for new rule is 1 week and that my wife must send applications forms herself directly to Sheffield. My question:
1) She has yet to receive a confirmation email stating her documents/passport have been received - is it normal not to hear anything or should we have received an email?
2) Does this email come from Sheffield when they actually process the documents?
My solicitor wrote a covering letter explaining the mix-up with the documents and we have emailed BHC and asked them to make sure the application forms sent by my wife are linked up with the sponsor docs I sent...they have yet to reply despite promising to investigate more than a week ago. I am little worried now.
Any help and advice greatly appreciated.
