Still waiting for a decision.....

[Kawal111]

Most of our decisions have been made just waiting for our passports hopefully next week they will send it or call us for collection

Alreast the case has been completed
I just hope we all get approval
They do attend us to wait 10 days but it's just them being slow is all

We have waited that long im sure it will be worth the wait guys

Hi everyone,

I called today and the response has been the standard one.
My case is still awaiting decision.
Waiting since 15th March and case not straight forward. 7months are nearly over.
You guys can try calling in for an update. You might just be lucky.
I hope all of us get the visa by 31st Oct. It has been a difficult period for all of us.

Take care everyone.

HI

Hi there

We 3 of them applied in March. I apply 3march .8th month going on.
Let's hope for best 2week left might be next week will bring news for us.

there are people from many parts of the world in this forum but looks like Pakistan applications take the longest even though everyone pays the same amount...

Sorry for asking so many questions.

Yes my husband did on the 60th day only reason why this was because they couldn't complete his case in the time scale which they gave us.
Yes they contacted me I had an interview that lasted me 10 mins asking general questions about my employment.
It's ok i do understand how you feel we are all frustrated at this moment. What is your timeline ?

Does anybody know how long after the employment interview do people get decisions? I've seen peoples take like 3 months and more, but I don't understand why, they have all the information they need to make a decision so why do they take so long?

Is yours awaiting decision ?
Or decision has been made
Don't worry it will not take that much time you will get your visa around next week just ring in the HO and escalate your case.

You said you had a call from them and they called ur employer. Can I just ask do you work for a well known company? Just trying to get an idea of who they call

No, I work for a small local business. But I only started in May so that may be the reason they called because it hasn't been that long. The coming Friday will be my 60th working day so I'll wait till then and ring them up if I don't hear anything in the meantime.

Did you get a 'not straightforward' email? What's your timeline like?

I didn't get a survey email but it's going to be 10 working days tomorrow and still no sms or email to collect passport. I'm in the same position

I do hope they contact you tomorrow friend and me to have been waiting 1/2 year.
Fingers crossed
If not call in and they will contact the Visa application centre that it's been over 10 days im sure they will do something about it that's what the customer service told me to do after waiting this week, so I will call in tomorrow if My husband gets no sms or call.

The emails give absolutely NO indication of whether the visa is approved or refused. You will ONLY know when you collect the passport.
