Again my situation was the same as yours. My VAF4a plus the remainder of evidence was in Pak after I left. I sent an email to my wife for all the things which should be written. She then copied verbatim.*Nazia wrote:Jazakallah Khair for the informative replyfbutt09 wrote:@ Nazia
AoA Sis,
Hope you are well inshAllah.
Firstly please note that no two applications are the same. However I had the same questions running through my head as you did.
I submitted my application in Dec 11. It should have actually been submitted in Oct 11 when I just got married and was still in Pak. However it was not and we were lacking the English Test requirement. Therefore I left Pak and my wife then had to do the TOEIC exam in Nov and got the result in Dec 11.
All my bank statements were up till Aug 11. I had one or two other pieces of evidence in Sep 11. But majority of my documented evidence was three or four plus months old!
I got around this by writing (on the VAF form, last additional information page) that my wife was doing the TOEIC exam late hence why I didn’t have any more recent evidence to submit. ECO take everything into account so it is in your best interest to supply that information.
In hindsight I would say it worked in my favour and would recommend you to do the same. Rather than running around sending information to Pak at the eleventh hour.
Just write short bullet points on that last page to provide the ECO with as much information as possible. I worked on the premise that the more written information the better. My last page was a mini essay!
People scare you by saying the “all evidence needs to be as recent as one month and not a day older” but mines certainly was not. Just pack in as much info and write all additional info within the VAF form. Unless you have made a glaring error in your application, you will satisfy all the requirements and the ECO will have no option other than granting you a visa. Finally do dua and Im sure Allah SWT will answer your prayers.
Dua is the weapon of the mau’min. I found it to be invaluable in my case.
Best of luck and remember it will take as long as it takes. Just think twelve weeks timeframe and do constant Dua. Leave the rest in the hands of the All Mighty.
Allah Hafiz.
The vaf4a form is in Pakistan with my husband, I filled it in and sent it him, shall I tell him to get his sister to write why we havent got the latest bank statement and wage slips, it was because of his english taking time?
We have it upto 1-2nd Feburary and not all off feb and the bank statement I have the January one with me now but I doubt it will reach in time because he is submitting it in 2-3days time.

Dnt lose hope sis jus pray an i will pray for u an im sure the rest of them here will too........
Also with ur english being really fluent u will understand everything they ask so thats an advantage also i think when they do interviews like that im sure ur asked what language u prefer so go with what ur most comfortable with u will be ok inshallah.
