could you please give me the number where u rang, as far as am concerned they cant put wrong information on the online visa, if they do then there will be people complaining about it, cuz there are more people lookin online status to check to when to collect the passport.

Yeah it is accepted in Pakistan but they take aaaaaages to recieve the certificates, like about 2months I read it on this forum.

Why not stick to TOEIC instead? You get your results after 2 weeks then after a couple of days you recieve the certificates.

Try SLS College.

I hear the timeline for.city and guilds certificate has changed to 5 weeks as before there was a backlog of tests that were cheated so that's why they took agez but now its been sorted it out hence a quicker reply.

My huby took the toeic test yesterday which he found abit hard and cos he's not positive that he will score correctly for the speaking test he's takin the city and guilds next week just in case.

Sister,

Ooops. I can understand you are suffering a lot without any authentic reason. I am sure you are not familiar with new rules. . The age restriction of 21 has been revised now, and reinstate minimum age 0f 18. It was review by the Supreme Court 2-3 months back. Below the link mentioned below.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... spouse-cp/


Best of Luck for your pending application.

Thats what I said but I think down to location, City and Guilds is better for them. 5-6 weeks is what they have been told for waiting time.

My Wife took the TOEIC test and didn't pass the speaking first time but did on second time. It just needs some practise. He will be fine Insha'Allah.

Hi all. With regards to the new status i think the best thing to do is to phone bhc islamabad and ask why they changed the status? :lol:

Salaam All,

My wife received a call this morning at about 9.10am PK time that her passport was ready for collection.

Alhamdulillah, Tabarakallah she just literally collected now and it has been granted.

Thanks to everyone for their support and kind words, may you all hear some good news this week Insha'Allah.
