@Frontier Mole, i think you are right but as far as I know , there are some other people waiting since October 2020.Frontier Mole wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 12:06 amThe issue about reconsideration cases is that they do not have fixed or published response times. So your case is essentially pushed into limbo and it becomes the whim of the Home Office as to when they deal with it.
Your case is far from unique and that is why it is sometimes better to reapply rather than wait for reconsideration. At least there are stated / expected reply times for new applications. COVID obviously changes everything at the moment but it is not unreasonable to expect a reconsideration to take less than 4 months.
The best way forward is to get your UK sponsor to push the case through their MP.
@Frontier Mole, i guess they are taking my application lightly , that's why they sent same response twice. I'm going to hire a lawyer, he will send a legal reminder to embassy , hope that will make them think again.Frontier Mole wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 9:56 amI believe no matter where the reconsideration is taking place it is the same problem. It is not particular to Abu Dhabi and it was the case pre-COVID. This has been an issue for years.
I believe there should be a stated reconsideration time as part of their policy, it is unreasonable to just leave people for months on end without making decisions. It is almost a form of punishment for challenging their refusal, their response to the PAP when just pushes you into a black hole of nothingness. Reconsideration should in my mind take no longer than the original decision, there is no reason why it should take longer.
BTW I am not from Pakistan.
