Hi therewaitingindefinitely wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 5:42 pmGood evening everyone on this forum , I don't know if this is the right place to post but in all respect I am still waiting to receive news that my husband has finally received his passport back ,
Please does anyone know roughly how long it takes to receive a passport back with a visa stamped in after winning an appeal? It's been 5 weeks now and now news , there is no way of contacting them I'm getting really sad and impatient now(
My timeline so far:
- Submitted original spouse visa application in August 2016.
- Application refused in December 2016 ( Refusal reason was over TOIEC/ETS)
- Submitted appeal in January 2017
- Received a letter informing us that ECM review was unsuccessful in March 2017
- Received letter for hearing date in June 2017
- Hearing was in October 2017 , Alhamdulillah everything went postive and the judge cleared my husband's deception blame
- November 2017 we received our official notice we won our appeal
- A few days later Home Office challenged the decision to take us to Upper Tribunal , by asking permission from the first tier tribunal judge
- December 2017 we received a notice saying home office was unsuccessful with their attempt to take matters further
- In the same week we received yet another notice informing us that home office were seeking direct permission from upper tribunal to go further
- January 2018 we received another notice saying home office were unsuccessful, however they still had 14 days to Lodge a judicial review
- Then on February 4th 2018 we finally received an email stating that my husband should submit his passport to his nearest vac in Islambad
- February 6th he submitted his passport , now we are waiting for them to return the passport with visa it's been 5 weeks tomorrow , please can anyone share their experience how long they take to stamp a visa ?
I last saw my husband in April 2016it's been almost 2 years now , I pray that no one goes through what I went through , if u can visit ur spouse I suggest u go back and visit , I hope everyone else's journey are easy and not as stressful as mine
Give it about 12 weeks mostly likely they will be in touch by then...if not then I think u should contact them in sha allah hope all goes well for everyone...life seems like on hold...and the home office are making it difficult day by day...i pray everyone gets good news in sha allahKhokhar1980 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 14, 2018 4:30 amPrayers r for everyone Who is in waiting list...it's been years that I'm away from my husband...I can understand the pain and level of depression, ones can go through..My biometric submission was on 4th January 2018.

Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 60 working days.
Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible.
We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.

We receive the same email
Because the application for a second times they need more time to check
But for a time of decision I saw some people in this form I received everything after 3 months.
Waiting is definitely the worst bit and thank God 4 forums like this...it really helps people before and after applying and for those looking for answers n most people here are on same boat as us so they know exactly what were going through...i just hope and pray 4 everyone may allah swt grant everyone good news very soon in sha allah everybody just keep positive n have faith in allah what he does is for the best...he knows what's best for us and when it is best for us to have it so just pray and read ayats e karma and also wa la hawla wa la qu ata ila bila...it helps through any problems in sha allahLondoner007 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 11:16 amAs many have said in the past the waiting is much harder than the actual process of getting all docs together! I suppose it's because we keep pondering upon what could be can be and will be,.
I honestly understand what you are going through. But always remember that god is testing our patience.waitingindefinitely wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 5:42 pmGood evening everyone on this forum , I don't know if this is the right place to post but in all respect I am still waiting to receive news that my husband has finally received his passport back ,

Online Application for Wife and toddler: 15th November 2017bammargera wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 2:38 pmApplication made by wife from
New Delhi on 20/11/2017
Documents received back 27/12/2017
57th working day, 12/02/2018 email requesting we send bank statements as couldn’t see my salary credits. No idea what happened, salary plain to see in there, must have failed to copy them before returning to us.
12/02/2018 same day - not straightforward email received
14/02/2018 - we send them requested bank statements by email as instructed
22/02/2018 they escalated our case as no one looked at it. Told would be looked at by 15/03/2018 (today)
Not been looked at. Surprise. Called today, they have re-escalated and said that’s all they can do. Told us they have 15 working days now to look at it. However, we are now 80 working days in. We will be over 90 working days soon putting us in the 1%. Terrible situation to be in and due to no fault of our own as we sent them what they requested from us. Interesting to hear we are not the only ones.

I applied in April 2017priority and after 6 month I get Refusal. Appealed October 2017 and still waiting till now. A year of waiting. I'm so depressed that I just stopped praying to God. But my spouse always reminds of the Qur'an Aya. وقال ربكم ادعوني استجب لكم
(40:60) And your Lord says, “Call upon Me; I will respond to you.”
