On my all other official documents I have my full name like my phone bill etc. should I write a covering letter to explain this?

I call on wife's landline number because it's cheap for me compared to her mobile number so is it important to call on her mobile number?
its great that your so keen to get the details right but alot of ppl seem to be overdoing it and stressing their brains out.
my husband original name is very long and he only uses the first and last everywhere i.e bank documents, job ones etc etc
as long as you put that email add as your email addin the app form they'll know its u she's been talking to:)
as for caling on her landline, just tell her to put that down on the app form as her contact no for them to know its really her number that u been calling..

Thanks for your help :)

Re: Embassy status change ...

Post by tnt4ever » Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:26 am

+1 for the numbers you quoted...
shafareli wrote:I have not received this status, in fact I know a couple of Jan applicants from Karachi (very comprehensive applications with no room for discrepancy) who applied in early Jan 2012 and did not get this status change but they were granted a visa alhumdolillah.

I applied end of Jan, still waiting ... According to my limited knowledge of the forum and other people situations, I can only assume why people may be getting this status change could be due to one or more of the following reasons...

1. Due to the sheer number of applications some are sent to embasssy in abu dhabi to speed up process times (possibly only applications made in a certain city i.e. Islamabaad)

2. Some applications which require further checking need to be sent on to be further scrutinised.

Allah knows best ... just make duaa everyone whatever your status at the moment that Allah gives you and your partner patience.

i did have an interview and had the fortunate/unfortunate pleasure of meeting the ECO in person i.e the won who was assigned my case. Until Feb all settlement cases were dealt with in Islamabad, not sure whats happening anymore...
Navie and Shoaib I believe both applied in Dec and they got the Embassy processing status change. The majority of Jan applicants, including myself also got this status change.
hmmm o ok didnt rememba so...
dnt really know for sure whats going on wd all this processing in abu dhabi business, i am in UAE xt month maybe should go down to the embassy n ask em personally , tell em to stop confusin evrybody:)...
well wherever may it be i hope everyone hears smfn soon..

My hubby apllied on 9th March and still under process at BHC. I am not stressing myself out over this status change thing, I am just waiting pateintly for the day my hubby gets his visa granted and the day I will get to see him at Manchester Aiport. That is priceless comapred to continous worries over whats happening with the visa.

What Allah SWT has decreed for us, will happen and none can change it without Allah SWT's will.
