Nikah Nama not registered.

Don't nobody say anything else to me.
where was your nikkah held, coz mine was held in islamabad and the gerry's people were saying your nikkah nama isnt attested by unioncouncil; but islamabad has no union council.
In a small town called Arifwala. I know I said to the Imam. I said to him, I said to him 100 times and his colleague. Please make sure the nikah nama is registered.
Its not the Imaam jobs to register the marriage at the local UC.

UC have officials who should be present at time of nikkah and the onus is on them to register it. The Imaam only carries out the ceremony

Don't sress yourself
Insha'Allah your appeal will be successful and will not take that long, official nikkah naamas are something that you should do yourself, don't rely on anyone telling you they have done it for you (even if it is a maulana), make sure you do it yourself insha'Allah, especially for essential documents such as Nikkah Naama etc...

Update on my application - I emailed islamabad bhc to ask wat is going on with my application, seeing as it has been nearly 60 working days, I got the same standard auto-reply and which says my query will be dealt within 5 working days (then again it also says current processing times for settlement applications is 41 working days!)

For those of you who have got a invite to collect your documents, please keep everyone posted insha'Allah, may Allah reward your efforts ...

Just be patient, be patient for 2 days, you will get your responses and hopefully all can be united with their spouses over the next fortnight.

Ok the news coming through is.

My nikah is registered and it is will the Union Council, the Imam has the receipt confirming it. The Imam said, everything was done correctly.

Not sure where to go from here. The problem is I have to plough through this thread to find the one or two other folk who had a similar problem to see how they managed.

Congrats Sajid.

Could you explain what process you followed in the appeals procedure?

Did you submit only docoments covering their refusal reasons, or did you submit documents covering everything, ie. new bank statements, new wage slips, cause it's 4 months near enough since the original application.
first off the appeal is now submitted in leicester UK not Gerry's, calculate 28 calender days from the day u recieved the refusal thats ur deadline to submit the appeal. u should get your wife to send u a scan of the refusal letter read it carefully to see whats points have been raised.

i only submiited documents relevant to the refusal points, u dont submit evrything again. for instance if u wre ONLY refused due to the nikahnama not being registered u'd submit the following

-the appeal form iaft2 ( explain in detail how & why the nikahnama was not registered in section 3D of the form)
-copy of refusal letter
-registered & endorsed nikahanama ( i think its ok to submit a copy but please double check)

i think thats it but make sure u get the refusal letter and read it urself the wording in it matters alot. for instance have they just questioned the registeration of nikahnama or they are wondering if the marraige isnt a real one u know what i mean.
syma dear, I hope you dont mind me asking what was the reason given in your refusal case.

How long the empty feeling, that horrible feeling last? Or you still have it?
