Hi guys,

Congrats to those who have got their visas! Hope u all to have a wonderful life together.

Does anyone know where in Islamabad would you pick up ur passports? cuz the gerry's office is closed in Islamabad as it says on the website.

Does anyone know which organisation updates the status of the applications online, is it the BHC or the Gerry's?

thanx guys for the support n info.

Hi guys,

Naz08: Yeh i am waiting too. I applied on 18th Sept in Islamabad. It is so scary that the Gerry's update it cuz the date could run out in the visa n they r still holding the passports with them.

Inshallah i will tell if i find the address. The problem is that we don't know where to get it from.

Does anyone actually know if the passports are collected where we applied in Islamabad Gerry's office or is it somewhere else?

We have been waiting about a month now to submit our settlement case in to Islamabad, since there is still no news about that opening any soon so we decided to go to Lahore instead.

My wife had an appointment today for 4:00 at Lahore to submit her case. She travelled for 4.5 hours to get there and then been waiting in the queue since 1:00, at 4:15 they closed the gates saying that’s enough for today. They only let handful of people in....Why give an appointment in the first place? What a bunch of pricks….morons….

They gave her another appointment for next weeks, what are the chances this happening again. Do they want applicants to wait in the queue for 7hours before their appointment? Let alone the travelling time. What a screwed up country, no wonder everyone wants to get out of that crap....

Right my rant is over....

I got 2 questions wondering if anyone can help me out.

1. Once visa granted does your spouse have 28 days to enter the UK? If not then what happens?

2. How much are one way seats from Lahore To Glasgow or UK?

The PIA website which showed really cheap prices like just over £100 for a ticket on some dates but excludes tax charges?

Anyone travelled recently advise me on the costs approx?

I would image tax would shove on another £100-150 quid.

You get 27months visa, meaning that you have to enter UK within 3months of Visa approval/stamp.

I think single ticket will cost around £300.

salam to all , i been regular reader since a wk, its really informative, and i think u all are brilliant, its like a comunity of people who are discusing thier problem , and every one become friends, and ur discusion help other people to resolve thier problems , i think its fantastic, this is the first time i m leaving request on the board, cause i m depresd and upset, and i hope with the help of u peple i will get through this,so here's my story
i have applied as dependent of student , my husband is in uk , i applied first on 29th july got refusal on 5th , but didnt get my pappers back till 18th aug,so till 18th aug i didnt know tht i got visa or no,then it took time to resolve the abjections which been made, by the time all the apper work was ready the appeal time was over, any way the objection was to 1.provide my sponsor (which is my uncle )financial detail, mean bank staments etc,2. my husband progress report,3. accomodaton survey report, well after compelting all those we resubmit our case, the submit date was 11th and on web site the status was changed on 19th then he vac was closed so after a painful wait i got call to collect my documnet today, as soon i open the packet the was 1 objection again,gutted :( ,and my case was refused, and givin the right of appeal, the objection is my sponsor is not strong enough to support me and i will be claiming benifit over there ,
so my question is ,1 is sponsorship imprtant for sudent wife,
2. wht could be the way out,
3.my uncle has provided all the document which he possibaly could do,
what sould i do next cause i dont want to go for appeal i heard it take ages to get resolve, and i m very upset abt it, wht sould i do next,
hope to hear from u all soon,
thanks for taking ur time
regards
