Appeal Allowed Visa Stamped Timings - Pakistan

[farazfastian]

Thanks DulhaRaja, i'll pm you.

Just want to know what you guys think the definite list of documents/evidence once should submit with the visit visa application. Now i'm going to apply for my mother all i'm doing is the same list of documents which i did for my mother-in-law and i'm hoping that because she's my mother so this time it shouldn't be a problem or do you think i should provide something additional to fulfill their requirements?

Many Thanks for your help!

My uncle applied for his sister in law last year who is quite young.She got rejected but at the appeal the visa was allowed.Its likely more chances in appeals i think.

Hello Everyone!

I received a dissatisfied response given by the BHC, Abu Dubai stated that, On going IT problem has resolved. but right now they are saying

`` The British Embassy in Dubai is experiencing delays in their services due to on-going technical problems. The British Embassy in Dubai will be closed on Sunday 20 and Monday 21 September on account of the Eid Al Fitr Public Holidays. In addition, due to Staff Training the British Embassy in Dubai will be closed on Tuesday 29 September. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.``

I think same will be the case here in BHC, Islamabad because both embassies are prabably linked with each other.

1 month and 1 week passed away, since I submitted my passport after an allowed appeal ( student visa ). I think they will return my passport after Eid.

See, No progress at all ???? I think , I should forget about my passport. Though, my commencement date is , 26 october 2009.

Hi All, Question regarding the delays after allowed appeals was raised in House of Common in jan 2007, please read the following or go to the link: (same story after two & half years, who says they care)

Islamabad: Entry Clearance Office
Sir Gerald Kaufman: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if she will take steps to inquire into the reasons for the recent failures by the Entry Clearance Office in Islamabad to grant visas following successful appeals. [116624]


31 Jan 2007 : Column 387W

Margaret Beckett: We acknowledge that there have been delays in the visa section in Islamabad between the allowing of an appeal and the subsequent issue of a visa.

These were largely due to volumes of appeals and a staff shortage during the summer period last year. A new Head of the Appeals Section was appointed to the Visa Section in Islamabad at the end of last summer to address these issues.

In addition, there were previously delays with the unaccompanied diplomatic bag, through which until recently all appeals have been forwarded to Islamabad. However, since early January all appeal determinations are now emailed directly to the Visa Section in Islamabad from the Home Office. This will result in a much quicker turn around and the ability to track appeal determinations sent.

With the appointment of the Head of the Appeals Section, an increase in the entry clearance officer contingent at post and the electronic despatch of appeal determinations, the Visa Section in Islamabad hopes to significantly reduce the delay in the issue of allowed appeal visas.

RASHI:---If these questions were raised in parliment then I am sure it will work. As far as shortage of staff is concerned, I think this is not our matter because we have given timescale by Gerrys and BHC and we were supposed to get answer on provided timescale. Thanks for uptade.

Sorry guys taking this thread off-topic again, but i'm really confused in how to apply for mother after rejection of my mother-in-law and lots of other applicants. If you can clear me on just one thing i would really appreciate that

Based on the rejections these days i'm thinking to apply for my mother by making my father as the main sponsor instead of myself BUT the only confusion i've is my father bank statement is not that strong the balance is hardly Rs.300,000 and the kind of business he does there's no proper paperwork.
Do you still think i should make my father the main sponsor?

Many Thanks
Faraz

Well, if there is no proper paper then I would suggest you, not to apply because BHC knows every single happening in pakistan. In fact they have very clever pakistani staff in the Embassy and they always want the best of everything. To be honest, 70 to 80 % pakistani people refused due to insufficient funds and improper documents.

I was refused because i forgot to submit Tax documents nothing else.Similarly, your one single mistake will refuse your application.

Hope you understood.

[farazfastian]

How about if someone's father is retired? or doing nothing? they can't produce all these documents can they?

[freedomofspeech]

Well, If this is the case then you need to fill up the forms truthfully. They may take evidence of house ownership..bank balance..etc. They decide based on the form . They would need a Planned itinerary and be able to articulate the reasons for their trip..Tourism..Meeting Family. Be confident and truthful. Its more than any documents. Carry whatever possible and don't try to inflate a/c.

Inshallah everything gonna be okay.

Well guys..look at the stats for the months of AUG 09 for visa processing guide line time. Its shows only 258 settlement visa applications were sent to UKBA from Pakistan. I dont think there are much appeal cases in those settlement cases application on allowed appeals. seems there are not working on it as appeal cases are simple cases and it doesnt require further verifications as it already passes throught so many verifications & checks and in the end the JUDGE gives his decision in the favor of the appellant. As i applied from Karachi. they only dealt with 11 applications from karachi for settlement cases.
