Hi Lovebird,

Which VAC did you apply at & have you tried contacting them on visqry2.islamabad@fco.gov.uk ???

If you havent, it may be worth trying!! I emailed them & was told that my wifes passport is being sent to Gerrys for collection :D so inshallah you may hear some postive news.

Also, and this probably applies to everyone, with the reduced hours the VAC are operating, I wouldnt trust the website to be updated quickly!!.

The call center get their info from the website!!.

I called the VAC this morning & they said that if the BHC have confirmed (i have the email confirmation) that the passport is been sent then to get my missus to pop down to the Gerry office for collection. :D

My missus is going to pop to Islamabad next week ... please pray that her passport has that Visa Stamp!!!!!

Good luck eeryone & I pray you all hear positive news soon inshallah :D

hi there

my wife applied on 2nd july, and i emailed them first about a week ago when they sent the automated email respond which also said your application has not been assessed yet

i then emailed them again and they said that " i can confirm that (my wifes name ) passport will be ready for collection at gerry's internation.

pls pray that visa has been granted

I will pray Sohail.If they said the passport will be ready and sent to gerrys office then that means she has got the visa.Thats really good news bet ur happy uv got nothin to be worried about inshallah shes got it.The office closes early now due to ramadan so make sure she knows that and knows what time to go.Let us all know what happens keep us updated.

Hi Guys Same response on the website I don't have a letter from my wife so I can't email them. My wife applied on the 3rd of July surely we should hear something soon. I just don't know what to do. It's really frustrating.

sohail123 + oahmed , good luck for Monday. Inshallah all will be well.

Inshaallah all will be fine and what was the reason for refusal as appeals normally do not take that long.

Thanx all for the kind messages!! :D

ChelseaRule - I think you should try emailing them anyway!! The ISL VAC has been shut all week so the website wont change. Contact the BHC and you might get a response. Worth trying.

Inshallah you and everyone will get some good news. Please keep praying that the visa is on the passport!!

Salaamz & best wishes to all :D

The email you need is: visqry2.islamabad@fco.gov.uk
Normally takes a couple of days - my response was received in 3 days.

Hi folks,

I just randomly thought of checking the website & it appears Gerrys are updating their site at last - my status now reads:

'Your application is ready for collection; please visit the UK Visa Application Centre where you submitted your visa application to collect the same 05 Sep 2008'

At last!! :D
I will keep you posted on next weeks developments.

Salaamz all :D

ChelseaRule / Faisel - guys i would recommend you check the websites and at least email the BHC to find out whats going on!!

Me & Sohail have got responses and you guys applied around the same time.

Inshallah i hope you will get a positive response as well :D
