Appeal Allowed Visa Stamped Timings - Pakistan

shahzad80 · Post by **shahzad80** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:21 pm

Thanks Shaz, the letter actually came from Visa Section,Croydon, Appollo building.
Got letter this morning in PK.

you got call letter so booked an appointment and submit yours passport asap.

Any advise where to hand in passport and where is it stamped quickest I know the time scales but still may be quicker direct at Islamabad.
Anyone share there views and let me know where they handed it in and how long it took to get stamped. Also do you check online once its been handed in via normal procedure to find out when its ready for collection

I heard Islamabad is quick but I have no good experience of this as they took so long to decide my case.

This is not a visa application(i.e appeal) so not matter where you submit.

Islamabad is quick.

Yes the rest process is same i.e you can check passport status and when ready for collection.I would recommend book SMS service for visa status.

I have told him to collect tomorrow so I will update this forum before 12pm uk time. He will be extremly disappointed if he gets refused!!.
in case of visa being grated, I will let you guys know about the issue date etc.. so you know the length of time for them to process.

Nasjam, you should hear from them very soon.

Inshallah Sajid he/she will get visa... you dont worry ...... Did gerryes called him already or he is just going to visit to gerrys? Because remember what happen to yasmin? gerrys might refuse to give passport until they call him?
Yes they texted on the number given and also called him this morning.

Great!!! I pray that he gets his visa inshallah ... Please do update later on

sajidmahmood · Post by **sajidmahmood** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 12:02 pm

2 years spouse visa. We will apply for ILR after spending two years in the UK.

Your application is different and will be issue ILE.

I do not think so, I think they will issue 2 year visa as well followed by settlement.

I will be happy even if they issue one year visa

Dear All,

I wanted to ask that is there any difference in sending the appeal documents to Croydon or Abu Dhabi. I have seen in this forum that many people who sent their appeal documents to Croydon got response quickly. I sent my appeal documents to Abu Dhabi 2.5 weeks ago and still didnt recieve any acknowledgment. I wanted if somebody could give me address of Croydon office so that I may send my appeal documents to Croydon also.

Its best to send it back to the BHC post who refused it, whether it be Abu Dhabi ( although they are not many being dealt in AD now) or Croydon.
If you are not sure then send it back to IAT in Loughbrough.

REEMEBER: You can only send it to one or the other. You cant send it to both

nasjam · Post by **nasjam** » Thu Feb 10, 2011 1:53 pm

uk visa section
Apollo house
croydon
CR9 3RR
you can also send it to
first-tier tribunal
immigration and asylum chamber
po box 6987
leicester
united kingdom
le1 6zx
i have phoned the leicester customer service people and they have a 3 week backlog. also they advised sending it to them at leicester as they insist that any appeal papers you submit to croydon will only be referred back to them thus further delaying your appeal process good luck

Congratulations bro, ur wait has come to an end. What did it say on ur call letter decsion overturned or it has been decided ur case will be reviwed? Also where did u submit ur passport?

Thank you... we submit it in karachi ... our call letter said decision should be reviewed.... i think the main difference is that when it says decision overturn then it only take 2 to 3 weeks to get passport back stamped and when it says reveiwed then it take more that...... waiting time is about 40 to 50 days once you submmit passport .... it happen to me and one of other forumist here on page 56
