Tier 1 Dependant application from Pak

Hi Naveed,

I'm afraid but if you didn't attached wedding pictures, salary slips, accmodation proof then you will be getting the refusal on your wifes application as this is required by BHC. I suggest you submit these documents as soon as possible to BHC so that you will get the positive reply from them.

Wish you best of luck.

Hi Friends,
am still waiting for reply from BHC. I did emailed them on 29th December at the same Email ID and sent another 2 emails mentioning the subject'' Do Not Send Automated response" no response so far.
I believe still long way to go....

You posted a list of docs in ur post on the other thread saying that these are the docs you sent with the application. Now I am not sure about others but I am not clairvoyant. I could not tell from that post that there were 'other' documents that you sent with the application as well.

also wanted to tell you that I work for the bank as permanent employee and I'm living in the accomudation provided by the bank. I know its not usual in UK but most of the Government employees can get.
Now how was THAT evident from your last post?

Succinctness is also a virtue; not easily acquired though!

Basit, please try to understand - I am NOT pitted against YOU. I am protesting against BHC. I am still not convinced that sending them emails from official addresses will achieve anything. I rest my case.

Naveed, Adnan, Virk - any updates?

@ ALee_80
No updates. I went to VAC with the hope to find my passport there. .. hopeless again...met THEIR manager and protested on this delay as THEY informed me of 4 weeks maximum processing time when I submitted my application along with Call in letter. He advised me to take out some of the print outs of the e-mails that I have posted BHC so far along with an application in his name. And he would send it to BHC ...
Now I am going to do as he advised me .... Lets see what effect this would bring in or out...
Best Of Luck To All Of You.

naveed, adnan, virk,

Any updates on the visa status guys? None on my side.

No update from my side as well. I emailed BHC first on 5/01/09 and then on 09/01/09. Still no reply. I wonder why they say it takes "15 working days" to process the visa....

@ ALee_80
Today I went to VAC and learnt according to them that THEY(BHC) may take as many as 6 long months for HSMP. They have shown me two precedent that applied in May2008 and another one in July2008 that received their outcome today > Now I wonder what it really is ??? VAC is helpless.

Hi Naveed,

I think all applications, except for visit and I think student as well, are sent to Abu Dhabi. Atleast that's my observation. Allah knows better though.
Really peeved off now...

Later.

Aoa to all,

Brothers I have a quick question, I am going to apply for my wife visa. I have recently changed my bank account from barkly to islamic bank of brit. I am not sure, which bank statment I should attach for visa purpose.
New bank has only one month history while previous has 7 months financial history. Is it gonna affact my case?

Also it would be great if somone could summarize the documents needed to apply for dependant visa.

Jazak Allah

Brothers,
If you search this forum, i am sure you will not have any problem to find a lot of posts with the list of documents. Primarily you have to prove your relationship and funds availibility. It will include:
Nikahnama, Wedding pics, your visa and passport copy, bank statemenmt with sufficient funds, your job status, salary slips and accommodation proof.
I am sure these are more than enough documents although i have not attached all of these

To all the others who have been asking questions ref document checklists and timelines:

Please search the forum for this info. I know it exists on the boards. However, if you still want further assistance - please post here again and will be glad to help.

Did you get that reply as a result of BHC Islamabad forwarding your email to BHC Abu Dhabi or did you email them as well?

@ Adnan_UK
Could you please inform me the text of the e-mail that you posted to BHC Islamabad and in return they being so kind enough to let you enquire directly from where your application they have sent for processing. This is something hopeful for us who are waiting for the last 3Months. Please help with your prompt reply.

Virk,

The text of the email is irrelevant - they will reply if and when they please. Call me cynical, if you would, but that, I'm afraid, is the truth.
BHC Islamabad and BHC Abu Dhabi should be awarded the award for most Incompetent Bunch of Retards.

@Alee_80
Thank You For the reply. Do you know of the WORKABLE e-mail address of the BHC Abudhabi. And is it right that all the passports are sent there for Visa pasting????

Virk

The email address that I was given by BHC Islamabad is: visa.abudhabi@fco.gov.uk

I have no idea if the visa is 'Pasted' in Abu Dhabi or not. What I do know is that my wife's visa application is in Abu Dhabi for processing and same is true for naveed_uk.
From what I've heard from unverified sources, all applications from Karachi and Lahore are sent to Abu Dhabi, while Islamabad applications are dealt with in Islamabad. Don't know how much of that is true if any.

I suggest you send an email to the above address; see what you get, and then take it from there.

For those asking abu dhabi related questions, as posted earlier i emailed BHC islamabad on 05/01/09 and after 7 days i received a reply with the following text
Dear Sir
Thank you for your e-mail .
Your email has been forwarded to the British Embassy in Abu Dhabi to deal with as your application is being handled there. If you have any further queries please email .
visa.abudhabi@fco.gov.uk
Regards,

Just giving you the timelines of one of the close cases I am aware of....

Applied in Fedex: 30 or 31st Dec
Type: HSMP dependent application (Husband already in the U.K)
Passport and visa collected on: 16 Jan 2009

Very efficient in this particular case.

rizwan567,

Thanks for your useful input. I am assuming this particular case was from Islamabad - yes?
My theory is that applications made in Islamabad are turned around within a reasonable period of time since they are not sent to Abu Dhabi. Only a theory - could be wrong.
