thanks for ur support guys, inshallah you will hear within the week or so cos we all applied at similar dates. Im so relieved and nervous at the same time..but yeh i think the BHC are shifting their arses finally and processing abit faster since the other apps have been sent to dubai. Anyway jus for ur update, our status changed after exactly 7 weeks and 3 days.. my husband applied on nov 18th at islamabad and i dont think they made enquiries with my work place... good or bad sign ..i dont know

hey maz... i dnt think they make workplace enquiries wid all settlement apps... as long as the ECO is satisfied (based on da paperwork uve provided in ur appl) that ur in permanent post and working sufficient hours and gettin enuff income to support both u n hubbi, they usually dnt bother makin enquiries wid workplace...
Can't wait now till my hubby gets sum news abt his passport.. dnt be nervous hun...inshallah my prayers r wid u and im sure ur patience will bring u positive news!!!

Dis is wat it now says on da website:
"UK VACs will remain closed on Jan 07 & Jan 08 in lieu of Muharrum Holidays"
Im gettin so annoyed at the amount of holidays they're takin! At dis rate those of us dat applied late novemeber probabli won't hear anything til feb/march!!!
![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)
Woah ! not more holidays ! its a joke. I was hoping to hear something this week but I better forget about it. It seems like there's a hold up for all of us who applied late November. I heard from someone that some of the applications are being sent to the BHC in Abu Dhabi for processing to even the load for ISB. Prob why its causing delays in waiting times.
Come on BHC what are you doing ??
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
@ Bazuk
I think we"ll all get consumed up in this long WAIT. I am waiting for the outcome since !3th,October,2008.....over 3 months now.......THEY do not bother to reply you back if you send them an e-mail. Any different experience do you have ????
Best of luck to all in waiting limbo.
