Guys please do not stress about status changes, etc, just wait and relax, when the times right, you guys will get the decision.

Just enjoy Ramadan till then, and also enjoy the fact that at the moment its only to wait and have no other responsibilities. Everyone will inshAllah get a visa.

No buddy they never contacted my employer. I guess it all depends on if they do want to verify. If they have any doubts, they will go ahead and verify that by contacting your employer. But eitherway every application is different so you can't really say which ones get contacted and which ones don't.

Goodluck with your application, inshAllah you'll get it.

Ikhlaq if your status is under process then that is the correct status. Don't expect another update until early October at the earliest and possibly even late October as some people's is taking longer than 12 weeks.

Congratulations to all who received visas on Friday, especially farahussain! I know you were quite worried. AlhumduliAllah your sabr has paid off! :) You're lucky your hubby's coming straight away. My hubby's coming in September inshaAllah so gota wait another couple of weeks! But I guess it gives me time to sort a few things out here and my hubby to spend bit more time with his family back home. Everything happens for the best. The main thing is he'll be with me very soon inshaAllah :)

I pray everyone waiting gets their visa inshaAllah! All the best everybody! :D

June/July list

Post by tk786 » Sat Aug 21, 2010 10:49 pm

Salaam guys,

could you please add me to the list too.

My wife applied on 21/06/10
Status changed on 05/07/10

I am seeing loads of people talking about employer being contacted. No one has contacted my employers (or at least i dont know about it). I have submitted my tennancy agreement along with council tax statement and utility bill. I rent a property, do they also contact the landlord/estate agent? Just so that i can let my landlord know.

Salaam

SF786 Masha Allah your wait will be over very soon when your hubby comes over, you have made it through the big hurdle some of us are waiting and will be waiting till around end of October.

Please remember us in your duaas. I pray Allah keeps you both happy and all the best in life. It must have been a very tough time but like they say there is light at the end of the tunnel and you finally made it.

All praise to Allah the Almight and all knowing.

my husband got this reply today...

Thank you for your email of 12 August 2010 enquiring about the progress of your wife's visa application. Applications for settlement in the UK are processed by our visa section in London. I have checked on the status of her application and can confirm that it is under consideration. Once a decision has been reached her documents will be returned to the Visa Application Centre (Gerry’s). They will contact her as soon as they receive them. If you have any further enquiries about your application please send them to UKHUB.PakistanSettlementEnquiriesandComplaints@fco.gsi.gov.uk .



Yours sincerely
