Hi Shabbo13,
Our dates are identical. Where did you submit your application from?
I posted earlier and reckon that I wont hear back till last week of January or first week of Feb (at the earliest). It seems like a long time to wait and it is!!
BUT.....
If you break it down to working days from the 23rd Dec then it is not much time (relatively speaking of course). From 23rd Dec To the 31st January it is only 24 working days of application checking. That takes into account of the bank holidays.
Although the application was submitted on 12th Dec (it will be one month tomorrow!!) the ten working days elapsed to 23rd Dec must be the backlog of earlier applications.
The best thing we can all do is dua inshAllah. The power of dua should never be underestimated!
I pray that Allah (SWT) unites us swiftly with our spouses. Ameen.
Ameen fbutt...the wait is a killer! But guess just have to have sabr and as u said make dua.
We handed the application in at mirpur..what about u?
Ur right about the working days so realistically it could be end of Jan or even the maximum time of 12 weeks...! But its really hard to not keep hoping that we will hear something this week as its been a month now....
Has ur employer been contacted?
We handed our application in Lahore.
Its really pot luck in terms of how and when applications are completed. Lets hope the ECO was/is in a good mood when making the final judgement. All I know is that the more I think about the application the more I wish I submitted additional evidence.
InshAllah it will work out for the best.
Honestly speaking I have no idea if my employer (or HR dept.) has been contacted. The main thing here is that as long as you have submitted a current contract or work letter stating present employment AND the organisation you work for is reputable, I really doubt they would contact the employer.
It would only be if you stated that you worked for a random Kebab House and your "cash in hand" salaries/bank statements didnt match, would they start to make further inquires.
Thats my thoughts for what they are worth.
Allah hum sub kay liye hayr kuray!
