Strangely enough when my wife called today she said the application has been processed. I think this might be a positive sign.
The tracker still says forwarded to Isb OC, it will be 90 days on the 27th of April. Still strong and optimistic ;)

Best of luck you guys, InshAllah will get this sorted!

Very good news indeed. You will hear very very good news soon for final outcome as well. InshaAllah. Just for confirmation why not Ali try calling yourself as well may be Monday just for confirmation whether the update is valid or not. I hope you will get your passport very soon as well. Yaar there are couple of peoples who applied on 12 Feb, 9 Feb and they got their visas so you will hear soon as well. But these all are PSW dependents and not Tier 1 may be that's the reason is.

From my side application processed and then don't know where it is at the moment.

I have confirmed that once the application processed then they sent to ISB BHC. Very strange I thought with the new center in Dubai the process would be faster now but they really play with our all original documents you see. KHI --> ISB --> DUBAI -- ISB --> KHI. This will definitely reduced the time. :roll:

ok a small good news.

The day i got married, in the parlour where i went to bcum a bride i met a girl and since there we bcame very good friends as she had everything similar to mine including wedding day :) She had also applied and her husband is also in Oxford as mine :)

anyhow, she had applied for the same visa on March 4th from Khi VAC. we both used to call abu dhabi regularly, we both were told initially about appl currently in process, after then we both were told around a week back that our applications were processed and sent to ISB BHC.

Today finally she got her passport and visa successfully :) MashAllah. She got sms text msg in the morning that her passport is with the VAC and when she collected she told me other girls were thr as well and most of them got visa..

Her timelines for our reference:

Applied from Khi VAC: March 4, 2010
Application under processing till: 11th March
Processed Application: 12th March
Received Passport: 22 April (today)

MashAllah things seem to be in a flow..I called Fedex again today. They told me that application is still wid isb and usually it takes a week or 10 days..

But does any1 know what ISB ppl do and why do they hold back our passports thr? The fedex lady told me that they do last verifications..

Hi Ifti,

Did u tried calling FedEx karachi anytime? I gave them a call and their reply was

"He said last verification checks and final processing isb may hoti hay. If ur application is straight n simple then isb dosent keep it. He said its internal process k isb may last verification and in some cases double processing bhee hoti hay".

Plz Ifti call Fedex and let me know..

Status changed to collect documents on 20.04.2010
Visa approved on 14.04.2010
Passport collected 23.04.2010

so in all it took about 20 working days.

InshAllah all of u who r waiting will get a good news soon.

God Bless

Hi guys,

I agree with the renaming part, lol. Anyways, I shall try calling Abu Dhabi myself on Monday and see what they have to say (In my 13th week now). I have started wondering if my wife's application was not straight forward enough: all docs were from UK, marriage cert translated and attested etc. Maybe it is the VAC location, since my wife applied from Lahore VAC... God knows! Anyways, I'll let BHC play its course and see what they come up with on monday.

Congrats Addi, You are one of the lucky ones I know. All the best !

Ifti12 and Iqraa my wishes are with you, lets hope for the best...

Ali

Hi Addi,

MashAllah no doubt that its purely ur luck. Ur wife must b extremely happy. Had you submitted something extra ordinary :) Just curious coz i really cant understand what is their criteria and why do they keep some applications for so long.

Keep praying for us as well.

Hey Adeel,

I shouldnt be bugging you at this time of joy. But as you mentioned that you had reapplied after rejection in Nov 2009, so I just wanted to know that god forbid in extreme case if any1z visa gets rejected due to any reason, do u think reapplying is the best thing to do and not the appeal,,am i right? But the worst part is paying the fees all over again which is already too high.

Did u applied immediately after rejection?

Hi Iqra,

We did not apply immidiately...it was refused in Nov 09 and we reapplied on 22 march 2010, because i had to maintain funds again in my account. personally i think reapplying is the best thing to do, appeal takes ages.

as u mentioned the only problem is to pay the fees again :( .

Hi Iqraa,

I am counting from the day of application including bank holidays and weekends. If I only count the working days then it has been 60 working days since the date of application (9th week). I am up for the ceremony, ofcourse this depends if everything goes our way.
Adeel, enjoy the moment... you guys deserve it!

Fingers crossed.

Tier General Depndant visa

Post by HSMPSEQUENCE » Fri Apr 23, 2010 5:35 pm

Dear All,

I hope all are well and pray that Allah sab pe karam kare aur sab key Visa jaldee lag jaeen AMIN.

I have an issue: I am intending to apply for TIER1 general Migrant Dependant from Islamabad, I had a really Quick simple one day wedding (all function happened at home) and do not have a lot of photos. Also I had to come back to the UK a day after our wedding.

Could someone advise if BHC actually ask why you did not stay there after your wedding? Do they account for the in and out dates from the UK.

All the rest of the docs are ready for me, could somone advise if there is something I need to keep in mind , any tips?

Please help!

Many Thanks in advance!

I have submitted an application for 3 person and maintained funds for 4 person including me and I have almost spent 3-6 months just for figuring out how much I need to show because everyone was suggesting me different amount. So please tell me the exact reason for refuse. Did you not submit the bank statement at all or submitted one doesn't have required amount.

How long you have been in UK? less than 12 months or more than a year? The shown amount was less than the required . Please let me know the exact reason.

Best of luck.
