hi guys

Post by scan_me » Wed Sep 01, 2010 3:17 pm

This is what our MP sent to us.

Your husband's case is active and awaiting action. The good news is that

there doesn't appear to be any particular reason, or problem with the case

to explain why it is taking so long to process. However, there is

unfortunately a large back log of cases.

I have asked for them to look further into the case and give me a call

back with any further information. But otherwise I'm afraid it is a case of

waiting.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Does it make sense?

Just to let you know that its been 18 weeks since my husband received his determination for a won appeal and there is still no sign of the call letter.

I've just emailed STEUKHUB again as they keep saying Gerrys will call us when the passport is ready. I then email back to say the call letter hasn't even arrived yet so why would we be waiting to pick up his passport? They just don't seem to understand my question.

We don't seem to be making any progress and my MP hasn't had any luck yet either.

I expected the long wait after the passport was submitted, not before.

Its so frustrating!!!!
Dear chezza

i understand your frustration when my moms appeal (Family visitor visa) was accepted i sent an email to Dubai office and they replayed an email saying that i should print their replay and attach it with application and dont need to wait for a call letter.

DOes it make any sence??



Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your e-mail.

As this appeal has been allowed we are no longer dealing with issues involving the issuance of visa.



It is the responsibility of the UK Border Agency in the UK to issue the determination to the Entry Clearance Officer. If, after 6 weeks from the date of the decision, you have not received any correspondence from the Post you should contact the Entry Clearance Officer direct.



You may also wish to contact the UKBA department responsible for the overseas Post involved in the issue of your visa. Their details are available online at:



http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/aboutus/enquiries/



Please note that the Entry Clearance Officer is unable to accept determinations from the tribunal or the appellant as it is required that the UK Border Agency issue determinations to all overseas Posts.

We can confirm that the ECO contacted us on 13/08/2010 requesting a copy of your determination be re-sent, they should receive another copy in due course.

Please quote your appeal number, name and date of birth on all correspondence to us.

Hi Fellow affectee's of UKBA

Family Visit Visa
Application made Feb 2009
Visa rejected April 2009
Appeal made April 2009
Appeal Allowed May 2009
Passport Sent for Visa Stamp 5th July 2009
Rest is confusing

Yes This is called Call Letter

visa i dnt understand y do i have to tell them how long i m gona stay.

I think they wrote this by mistake (because this is format of Visit visa call letter). you should call them to clearfy (nothing to worry)

Please read my post properly let me know thanks

I will apriciate your reply

Eveyone here is waiting fo the return of there passports. As it is taking such a long time. Firstly has anyone considered going down to the Gerry's offices and checking if the passport has arrived? and secondly are people being selfish and not updating others when they recieve there passports. To date I have not read anyone stating they have collected there passport.

Gerry's is a handling company working on behalf of British High commission Pakistan...in general it is a sister branch of Fedex which is a courier company.

you don't need to write anything, when u will visit gerry's they will fill a form for you..

its better to see what is convenient for u about the venue,, u can discuss this with gerry's and explain them about the tb result..

I never received any call letter for my mom ..i just got an email from dubai saying i should print it out and attach with the passport.. the call letter had some references numbers and my moms passport number and appeal number..
and instructions

Certainly review and appeal allowed seem to be two different things again call BHC or their dubai office to clear the confusion .

Asalam alaycum brother

You need to stop worrying and just chill out.

The letter you have received is standard call letter the same one my wife received.

You don't need to worry about dates that you have been asked for, however, to put your mind at ease why don't you include a cover letter stating you have enclosed all required documents i.e passport and TB certificate and also state in cover letter that your visa is for settlement and you intend to stay the full duration of same and give them a date of intenteded travel about 3 weeks from date you submit, thats what i did and my wife got her passport back with 4 weeks.

I just thought I would let you know my husband has got his call letter and will be calling Gerry's for an appointment tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help and I hope this is the final few weeks of waiting now.

I really hope he can be here before the end of the year.
