Your waiting time starts from the day application is submitted so you need to count the total number of calender days and then just convert them into weeks.(seven days=1 week).dilseabbassi wrote:Hi all, just a quick question how r u counting the weeks? are u doing it by working days or just as a normal week, seem to be starting to count the hours at the moment but have got a long way to go i think....i rlly dnt know how u guys get through such along amount of time.....

I have been reading this forum for a while now and my wife is about to apply for her settlement visa to the UK and I have a few questions as I am worried about some of these issues that might be problematic.
It would be really helpful if I can get answers to these questions.
1. Our Nikah Nama certificate was translated in english and I have been told that it needs to be recognised by the british high commision but I'm not sure if the translation is correct.
The english translation is signed and dated by the translator and been stamped with the following information.
"Translated Compared & Attested to be True Copy"
"Advocate, Attested, Notary Public, Distt. Gujrat, Pakistan"
"Seal, Nikah Register"
Does this information look good enough? I read somewhere that the contact details of the translator should be there too, is this required?
Well i assume its enough but i recommend you get it attested by the Ministry of foreign affairs in Islamabad as well and this attestation is regarded as authentic and recognized by the BHC.Hmmm cant say anything specifically about this bit of you query so Batleykhan might answer it,recently they have started to contact the Union councils to verify the Nikkah Namas and any other documents included by applicant e.g.applicant's bank statement or his or father's statement (ONLY if it has been included to bolster the financial strength of the application)I read somewhere that the contact details of the translator should be there too, is this required?
2. Only realised this recently, but I have been calling my wife with international phone cards and so they can't be used as evidence for calls (access number is 0800, this doesn't appear on my phone bill either) so what should be done in this case?
Should I write in the sponsorship statement that I called her using phone cards and say I know that they cannot be tracked, will clearance officer trust this as I will not be able to get more information about the calls and I have been calling her almost every 2-3 weeks for the last 10 months or so.
Well normally calling cards are NOT accepted as a legitimate or a proper evidence of contact but recently there were few people here on this forum who claimed that they were issued visas without any itemized phone bills,emails or letters etc which is quite surprising as well, if you cant provide any other evidence of contact other then the calling cards then just explain it in your written statement that you used calling cards instead of the conventional land line or mobile phone to talk to your wife because they are economical etc.(try to get some emails)
3. My wife on the other hand has been calling me from her mobile and she does have her phone bill showing calls to me, but the bill is under her brother's name (who works in a phone shop) becase the sim is registered in his name. So what can she do here?
Should she write in the "additional information" section on the form, that the mobile phone is hers but the sim is registered in her brother's name.
Yes explain it that SIM is registered on her brother's name and that should be fine as long as the bills show your number dialled quite frequently.
4. Does she need to get her TB vaccination well before she hands in the application or can she get it at the Mirpur office?
Application is NOT accepted without a valid TB test certificate so the applicant need to get one before application is submitted(Applicant needs to book a separate appointment for TB test screening and it MUST be done before application is submitted for the above reason and these tests are done at a separate venue NOT at the VAC)
I'm hoping none of these things will reject the application but am worried.
Thanks
Thank you. Insha'Allah you will hear soon, it may be another week or so though. I will remember everyone waiting in my prayers.navalaviator wrote:Corrado congratulations mate
