Congrats Smieha - hope you receive a perfect Eid Present in the form of a Visa !!!

Naz08 - dont worry too much, I know its difficult but inshallah the time will pass. Keep your chin up :D

Update on me - my missus is still waiting to submit our second application. The VACs are shut & theres no way the application can be submitted. Im hoping that they are clearingthe backlog & will process any future applications quicker. You never know tho .. but Im keeping patient - Eid without the wife will be v.difficult but theres not alot that can be done.

Keep the Faith people ... Smile ... & for whenever you celebrate it ...

EID MUBARAK :D

"In a strange way, if the VAC remains closed for an extended time, the issuing of the visa to your husband might actually happen quicker than might have ordinarily been the case. After all, they won't be receiving any new applications to look at"

salaam 2 all n eid mubarak.. my wife applied for a settlement visa in lahore on the 15th august 08. has anyone any idea when we should expect an answer? my wife calls the VAC on a weekly basis but to no avail.. i also check regularly but the status hasn't changed either. I am planning to go back on the 22nd october for 2 weeks as i am missing her very much.. inshallah before or during that period we should have a postive response.

Closures of the VACS was just an excuse to clear all the back log the BHC has,all this in my humble opinion ofcourse (IMHO)!But this is bound to bear fruit for the ones in the pipe line sooner rather then latter !Oh yes eid mubarak to all.

I know the waiting game is awful but it has its advantages,for starters it makes people realise how much they love each other 2ndly it could just be a test of their future together,i feel it is a blessing in disguise and people here will appreciate it when they will look back on their scenarios !One thing is certain that Allah (SWT) has promised to reward all the genuine applications in HIS court !
