long delay

Post by ummehani » Wed Jan 21, 2009 1:12 pm

I applied my and my daughter's visa on 24th November, but yet i have got no replies. I have visited Gerry's twice but they are totally helpless.
Is there a way to get to the British High Comission and urge for a quick reply?.. and can i know all are getting spouse visas or there are rejection cases as well??

hi ummehani,

Have you applied dependant visa or spouse visa? i.e. is your husband on Tier1 / HSMP or is he a citizen? Because timelines are completely different for both.

The current timelines are very very bad. My wife applied on the 3rd of Dec and has been waiting 7.5 weeks and still no answer. Majority of the people on the forum who applied dependant visas from karachi in dec are still waiting. If you applied from Karachi too then most likely your application would be in Abu Dhabi - that's where my wife's application is and also of all Tier1 / HSMP dependants who have applied from Karachi.

The email for FCO Abu Dhabi is: visa.abudhabi@fco.gov.uk

By the way - you seem to belong to the same community as I do :-)

Hope this was helpful.
When you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack

Hi Ummehani

I (main applican) have applied with 3 dependents (my wife and 2 kids) on 20 Nov from Karachi, and there is no change in status on website. Please update me about your progress.

Thanks and best regards,
