Thank you for your email of 29 November enquiring about the progress of your visa application. I can confirm that the application has been processed and you will hear shortly from the Visa Application Centre (Gerry's) about how you can collect your documents. Please do not contact Gerry's directly as they will be in touch with you as soon as they receive your paperwork. You can track the whereabouts of your documents at www.ukvacpk.com


I cant believe it they've processed it, we're so nervous now. I told my wife she should still try to ring Gerry's as it might give them a hurry up.

Sammad and Samera, I think u should be expecting yours to be processed as well. You could email BHC or if your more patient then me, wait until Gerry's let you know the passport is ready for collection.

Please can everyone make dua I would really appreciate it. Mind is working overtime at the moment!
Why have the said documents? are they trying to give you a hint? I hope your wife gets the visa.

I think I will wait, till end of the next week.

What are you doing to me Sammad, now uve made me paranoid, I never thought about it like that.

But along with the passport dont they give you back all the other important papers you submit with the applications like bank statements etc. So I think this is wat they mean.

Can anyone who has received their passport back confirm, exactly what they return to you?

Congrats Sairah A, beat me to it :P.

@all, I am adding the data into the spreadsheet which I was discussing earlier on. The last 2 columns in August and September tabs is what I am inputting. Hope it helps those who are still waiting and haven't received employer contact or a decision.

Edit to add: I think i'll leave it to just that, Aug and Sep for now.

Haseeb, it's been 14 weeks for you now and u haven't heard anything, have you tried emailing the email address previously provided here?

Relax, have patience, Allah knows best.

Yes it can get to you knowing others are doing well in their progress and some are on track just fine, but unfortunately there is the bunch who will be somewhat behind.

Sabr karo :)

Ooooops okies okies it happens, my apologies :oops:.

Have you made any attempts to contact BHC as to what the update is?

I dunno how to go about this but you been somewhat mashallah patient about the whole thing, we got members getting anxious, etc before 12 weeks is up and then we have you who has been waiting since July.

I applaud you for that :) may Allah reward you for your patience. I would hope that the anxious one's learn from ya and ease out on the panic posts :P.

On a side note, damn the snow, curses on the snow!

Edit: Is it at all possible that BHC might email the applicant OR the sponsor???? I check my emails DAILY but my wife doesn't check hers so I really hope they haven't sent her email, imagine it went to junk mail and automatically got deleted EEEEKKKK :shock: I hope they don't email the applicant!

True that Sammad, damn snow!!!! I hate snow!

Btw Snow COULD cause a few of the BHC staff to become ill and not come to work or could prevent them from coming to work, so I assume delays are now expected.

No thanks to the snow! :evil:

Any1 know if they email applicants?? someone please give me the answer to this question :oops:

Edit: Nah actually good news is that my wife didn't input her email address, niceeeeeeee :D eases the worries now so the above question is irrelevant.

Btw check this out

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/

There ARE some disruptions due to the snow, not sure how it affects us as sponsors/applicants but worth you all knowing the news posted on their website I guess.

MELT SNOW MELT :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :x :x :x
