Yes I entered my spouse’s details. I just wrote something along the lines of, ‘I am emailing to enquire about the status of my application, at what stage is my application at?’ I got the email that,
‘‘ Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centre.

With regards to your enquiry about the status of your application, I can confirm that your application is being considered and is currently awaiting a decision.’’

Thank you so much.
When did your spouse have their biometrics?

My husband had his biometrics done on the 24th Nov, I think I just emailed them a bit too early. InshaAllah expecting a reply by the end of this month. May Allah make it easy for us all. People are starting to get replies for biometrics done in November now so hopefully not long left!

I emailed the UKVI today and just had a reply "With regards to your enquiry about the status of your application, I can confirm that we have made a decision on your application. We cannot discuss the outcome of your application on-line or by telephone. However the visa application centre will be in contact with you in regards to collection or delivery of your passport".
Hopefully my husband gets a call soon from application centre in Karachi.

Oh I see. My husband had his on the 28th of November, I guess I'll not email them just yet.. I'm also hoping for a response towards the end of the month as the October biometrics, people got a response within 2 months.
InshAllah soon, we will all be reunited with our loved ones. :)

My husband attended his biometrics on 4th Nov 2020 in Karachi.
Hopefully we get positive news soon. Usually they sent the passport back to Pakistan on the day they make the decision but due to the delays it might take longer but we never know for sure.

Hi guys, I applied for my wife and daughter’s visa in September 2020 and biometric were taken on 12th November 2020.

I emailed today to ukvi as we still didn’t get any response and they told us that decision is awaiting so I am thinking that it will be probably another 2 or 3 weeks.

If you guys get your decision please let us know. Thanks
