I have received the following reply from BHc, in regards to my email inquiry of processing the application. Doesn't look good and i think they will take good 5 months or so.

Sucks !

Dear applicant,

Thank you for your email.

This is to inform you that your visa application is under process with ongoing checks. Due to a large number of on going appeals we have heavy workload of cases. Therefore I am sorry to say that at present I can not give you precise time frame in this respect. I shall be grateful if you would please wait to be contacted by this office.

I know that sucks... the worst part is that my session starts in early February and the call in letter had written on it "apply at least a month before start of session", whereas i've applied way before that and the chances still look so effin |gloomy|

I am on my way to the 8th month.MP's are useless ,they dont have any power at all on BHC.They can only write a letter.

God this seems tougher then catching osama! Shit sucks!
I am not sure how true is that but a lot of people have claimed that there is a lot of corruption within the home office and BHC, and they are unable to rectify the discrepancies themselves. The home office also does not share good relation with tribunals... well who cares ! talk to it! I won't sit on my mule and wait for 8 months, i guess i should rather forget and continue here..already wasted 6 months by freezing last semester!

Hey Guys,

Yesterday i received the calls from Gerrys and i have received my passport back. I will be flying to UK in january Inshalah. So just a flash back for everyone, i submitted passport with BHC after successful appeal on 26-11-09 and received it back with stamped visa on 18-12-09...

So i guess embassy is working cool now, and they are giving away a lot of visas... i even met a guy who has just paid registration fee of his uni (250 pounds) but still got the visa... lmao , that was kinds strange.

Cheers

Hi Guys
Just read this news about visa mess. I pray they don't lost our passports.

Passports go missing at UK visa office
Published: December 21, 2009
ISLAMABAD â€“ Over a dozen people have landed in trouble, some of them in quite serious problems, when the British High Commission Islamabad office told them that it had lost their passports.
The High Commission has also asked these visa seekers to come up with fresh passports for reprocessing of their cases, some of the affectees informed TheNation on Sunday.
The sources in the British High Commission confirmed that the passports of several people had gone missing during the course of these passportsâ€™ movement from Islamabad to Abu Dhabi for visa processing, but could not give the exact number of the passports that went missing.
Like many other embassies and missions in Pakistan, British High Commission also gets the applications for British visa seekers through Gerryâ€™s, a courier company charging hefty fees for the purpose.
But the people at Gerryâ€™s said that they were responsible for the safe provision of the documents to the embassy or the mission concerned and if something went wrong with the documents in the mission they were not responsible for that.
The officials at Gerryâ€™s were not aware of the exact number of the missing passports during the processing in British High Commission. However, they did admit the issue as a number of visa-seekers approached them with the complaints of missing passports but on realizing the situation they turned to British High Commission for relief.
The problem turned quite serious as some of the passports had valid visas for several countries and in certain cases people suffered huge loss as they failed to attend some of their important business meetings abroad.
One Zafar Mahmood Chief Executive Officer Global Marketing Services, who too had lost his passport at the hands of British High Commission, narrating his ordeal to TheNation informed that he had applied for business visa for UK on July 7, 2009 and dispatched his passport No BH0152992 along with all relevant documents through Gerryâ€™s (ref. No. GRY-PK-01-096361-X).
He said that initially he was kept on queries for quite some time and after several contacts with Gerryâ€™s office, Islamabad visa section and Abu Dhabi visa section of British High Commission he finally got a response from Abu Dhabi visa section on Sept 7, 2009 to approach the Islamabad Gerryâ€™s office as they had dispatched the documents after processing.
He further said that since he was a frequent traveler and had to move abroad in connection with his business meetings, and since he was to move to Dusseldorf Germany immediately to attend Medica 2009 starting from Nov 17 where he had set over 15 business meetings, he finally decided to withdraw his application on Oct 29, 2009.

@ Waqar1

i submitted my passport for student allowed appeal. my classes will commence on 17 jan 2009. i dont think so that they will give a delay to student visa because they are bound to issue us a visa before starting date.

and about u n duleraja, they submitted for settement visa, settelment takes up to year for processing. my friend got stamped passport after 6 weeks. his case was allowed visit visa.
