Depends on gerrys, could be next day if they are quick, could be a week if they are not.

Nope, there are some people who've been waiting 3 calendar weeks longer than me. I'm not even close to being the longest.

As fo your application, it appears as if it isn't part of the batch that was sent together to Abu Dhabi. So you'll get your status changes completely independent of the big batch of applicants who got a collective response last week.

This seems soo untrue as people here been waiting longer than 41 working days.

The UK Border Agency (Visa Section) at the British High Commission in Islamabad deals with applications made by business visitors, visit visas for 2, 5 and 10 years, and settlement applications (for applications submitted on or after 25 October 2010). We aim to process all applications as quickly as possible. Current processing times for visit applications is five working days. For settlement, we are currently processing within forty-one working days.

Is it worth sending a quick email to gerrys and stating to them due to time constraints the application status changed to ac but still not changed to ready for collection, maybe if you guys emphasis the 28 days to lodge a appeal maybe worth a try.

Dont know if its gonna do any gud may speed up the process and get a prompt response. I say put some english style pressure on gerrys maybe it will work you guys got nothing to loose as decision already made and that cant be affected any longer.

my cousiin called jerrys today and they are useless they said the status that changed to ac means its in british high commision the last processing department, last checks are to be done it depends on the application how long they take till ur status changes.
omg this is taking mre long then i thought so much information is been given wrong.
so the application is not in jeerys department it is in islamabad in british high commision.

Just come across this forum and realized I am not the only one waiting for a while (not sure if its a good or bad thing)

I applied for a VAF5 application ( which is "supposed" to be an accelerated process") and still haven't heard anything.

The applications are in transit. They are in the process of being handed over from the BHC to Gerrys.

This should be the week Insha'Allah.
