Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan

[maryammajid786]

aoa

i thought i would get a quick response as i applied through a lawyer of the immigration and asylum service ,an organization recommended by the bhc and having offices in over 23 countries.

But God knows best.

Allah Hafiz.

It does not matter who you apply through, you have to wait in the queue like everybody else. Applying through IAS does not give you preference over others

I am not talking about preferance ,i think i was misunderstood.The way ICS lawyer prepare the application ,for that matter any lawyer including you batleykhan,it is done with much more clarity and also the brief that you people create.I thought it helps the ECO in making a much quicker deccesion.

Trust me i was told in no uncertain terms by my lawyer that i will not get any preferance over any other applicant.

Hopefully i have cleared any unconfusion i might unwittingly have created

Allah Hafiz for now.

Going through good legal representation helps a lot.

No preference but good presentation.

Your not the only ones, im waiting too.... applied on the 28th April and have not heard anything, they have stopped replying to my emails. I have contacted the MP, just waiting to hear from him.....Inshallah all will be good!

[c4_2007]

Salams,

Still waiting as well!

I've worked it out that it can take up to 8 weeks to get your documents back from when the decision is made.

For me its been two week since decision so a long way to go yet...

Patience, patience, patience.
What you need is patience.
In the heart of your patience you will discover peace-blooms and satisfaction-blossoms

Hi Everybody

My husband is in his 15th Week since we received the determination for a successful appeal and there is still no sign of the call letter.

The FCO advised that his application is still in progress and I've got our MP involved but no joy yet.

From the discussions on here it looks like we will be waiting even longer once the call letter arrives and he has submitted his passport.

I was really hoping he would be here for December but I'm not so sure now.

[SF786]

Walaikumsalam NAZ786 I emailed them yesterday and got the standard response to say application has been processed and to wait for vac to contact

I'm so sooooo worried! Do dua every1!

Hi all
I applied on19/05 Mitpur.12th week started yesterday.I emailed my Mp yesterday morning and she called me back today that my wife was issued the visa on 03/08 and it's will take another 3 to 4 weeks before she will get call from Gerry.
I never had any call from Bhc myself or my empolyer.
Mp said she will sent me the letter to my home address confirming this.she was very helpful [/code]

[humtum]

I thinking depending area to area how busy your Mp is.the part of country I live there are no Asian people lives and my Mp said this is the first time she is going to contact Bhc for any one but she was really helpful and understood my point and I kept asking her please find out the decision.they will let you know
I think every one should contact their Mp as soon as 12th week start.inshallah everyone will hear a good news and I won't celebrate untill we see the passport with visa on

Documents collection does'nt mean at all that visa has been issued,it just informs the applicant to come and collect the docs and only then applicant comes to know that whether visa has been issued or not

Did they send any email to your MP to confirm that visa has been issued?

or did your partner collect her docs today from the VAC???

If she has not yet collected then i hope inshallah it will be a positive decision and if your partner has collected visa then a big congratulations

Good luck

[SF786]

Congratulations tayousaf I'm really happy for you

[tayousaf]

My wife collected her passport and has visa stamped dated 7/7/10, just wanted to know if there is a time limit she must travel to uk after getting visa?
