WaAlaikum AsSalaam Mr. Waheed,
(I have sent you the same message as reply)
Anyways now that appeal is in your favour, you have to wait for a Call-in letter that BHC Islamabad will send after some time. There is a time limit during which UKBA can challenge AIT against its decision but usually that does not happen as they are already very much busy. Keeping this in mind, I suggest you wait for one month atleast before enquiring BHC Islamabad about your call-in letter which should reach by 6 weeks time after date of AIT decision. BUT it takes very much longer than that.
Its like, you have completed 1 difficult phase and now you have entered an other phase of waiting, waiting and waiting.
My AIT decision was of January 2009 and according to BHC they issued the call-in letter in FEB 2009, but I received it in APRIL. Then I took appointment from UK VAC Call center and submitted (as stated) Copy of HSMP approval letter (it doesnot matter if it has expired, actually it never expires its just that we have to apply within 6 months after HSMP approval letter which we did at our time), original TB certificate (that you have to go through again the TB test), and original passport in May 2009, thats it.
And then you have to wait for visa issuance as I am since May 2009 till present. The whole world now knows that UKBA is taking way longer than stated time line for issuing visas.
But the good thing is that now there is no verification, no bank statement, and all that non-sense, just wait and wait.
After a detailed news in this Sunday DAWN main page, I hope BHC will issue visa a little more earlier.
Good luck,
Regards,
SHK
