i think not because he applied before 29/11/2010. i remember someone else asking about this - those who apply before 29/11/2010 will not have to do the english test even if it goes to appeal.

can anyone else confirm please??

If decision was made yesterday then Gerry's should contact your wife today at least. What is this "next few weeks" nonsense? Like waiting 3 months isn't enough they wanna throw unnecessary "weeks" at ya :roll:.

Btw, good luck Imran in your wife's application. May Allah grant her the visa, ameen.

Btw your 12 weeks was up this past Monday (22 Nov) right?
jazakallah - inshallah allah swt will grant her a visa. i humbly request all of you to make dua for me please

yes my 12 weeks was up on 22/11/2010. time is gonna drag over the next week !!!!!

Well done minty,

I just came on here to see how far people were with the applications and noticed what you had done with the spreadsheets.

What some people don’t realise is there are people using this forum to help others out who are in similar situations (i just wana thank the people who set up this forum, thank you it realy does help, it is very useful).

These are anxious times for all of us, and the last thing we need is some idiot sabotaging the information we use to give ourselves and each other hope that it wont be long now before our loved ones are granted visas.

Well done minty, may Allah grant your every wish. May Allah bless us all with joy, peace and happiness Ameen.

After the stupid actions of 1 individual who is hell bent on deleting the tracking records, I have put all months spreadsheets under 1 link. Each month is under a tab on the spreadsheet so all can view.

Please can you PM me any updates and I will update the spreadsheet every night as it is password protected.

Every sheet from June is there, however unfortunately i do not have the August spreadsheet as this has been deleted. Does anyone have a copy of it so I can add it?

Please feel free to comment if you feel this is the best way ahead?

I think I kind of messed up on the work side, I did not know the postcode of the place I worked at, and she was like "How do you get to work then?" I told her I got a lift of someone. I told her I had a supervisor and a line manger, but she kept saying, what is his title! what is his title? and in the said she just put down "don't know" his the "manger" what else was I supposed to say? that is his title. :?

I got all the other questions right.
Salaam Sammad I wouldn't worry about the post code thing, u should have said I go there everyday that's how I know how to get there! Same with the manager thing, but I think they will phone your workplace either today or tmrw, try to get in before your start time, because I got in late and missed the call. They will want to satisfy themselves u work there. Ur manager will be asked where u live, ur NI number, home address, ur wages, how u r paid, do u get wage slips, wen did u go to Pak, r u married.

Good luck

He does not know when I went to Pakistan, of course he knows I am married, and rest of the information he has on computer, I am given a wage slip but my wages go directly into my bank account. Also I got married and went to Pakistan before I started work, so my manger does not know all that information. I mean he has over 300+ employees, he is not going to waste his time memorizing my details.


By the way riz, did they call your wife? It seems like me and you are in the same boat, I am a few days behind you it looks like it. lol She said to me: "Please don't ask 3rd party for answers, this call is being recorded" but the funny thing was I was not asking a 3rd party.

Hope it works out anyway, or will just have to go through an appeal.[/quote]

No she hasnt received a call yet, I dont think they will call her though. But if they do I will let you know.

As for your manager, he doesnt have to memorise anything, but I suggest you give him a heads up, and he should ideally have the information to hand.

^^ Depends on whether they update the system or not. It is a possibility that your online status will change before she is called or sent an SMS. Or vice versa.

The phone call you received Sammad is quite disturbing, hope she doesn't mess you up.

Just under 2 months for Aahat, nice one! Congrats on the speedy process. Inshallah he'll get the visa.

Visa application: non-uk citizens

Post by ali2102 » Thu Nov 25, 2010 3:15 pm

Hi,

A friend of mine is a German citizen who has lived in the uk for more than 5 years (meaning; he's settled here). He wishes to get married from pakistan, how will his visa application process look like? Will she have to do the English test aswell? Because, he might move back to Germany anytime.

Thanks everyone,

Salam.

Yeah I had to see the list to see that it's just under 3 months and not 2 :P.

It could take from a couple of working days up to 2 weeks. All depends on Gerry's "performance".
