First that Pakistani government doesnt allow them to take pakistani passports to Abu Dhabi that is why they have to do the visa processing in two or three bits. It means that in any case, including settlement visa, all passports stay in Pakistan and the visa is printed when the decision is made by Abu Dhabi or Croydon.
Secondly, there is always an increase in student visas in summer. They had huge delays in all sort of visas last summer and that is expected again in this summer for the same reason; hence this delay we are experiencing.
Lets hope that despite all this we have our cases back next week. I have been following some other websites and they have some people who applied in March and April who are now getting their applications back. One good thing though that anyone who had such a huge delay had his/her visa approved.

in my last conversation in BHC abu dabhi was quite informatics. the guy explained to me the process of all app. from pak. for all info. more app. around 70% got from students. so thy said student visa application process separately in different section and visa print in abu dbhi bhc not in isb bhc. and all other app. excepts settlement visa app process in separate section and visa print in isb bhc. all settlement app. process in croydon.
for me there is no reason of delay. they move processing center to abu dabhi bcoz they want app. process faster. As you all know they announced new policy on 1st april that more than 90 % app. except settlement no more 3 weeks and 100% in 6 weeks. so i cant see any reason now for delays. even my dependent app. process in 3 week and same as Mskhan....
but dnt worry guys u will good news soon InshahAllah. also pray for me i will reapply for my in sept.
