ONLY 10, HOW MUCH YOU SPENT TIME TOGETHER AFTER MARRIAGE
Don't worry, there are people who sent 2 pics, one of their them at the Nikah and one at the Walimah and they were granted VISAs.

10 is enough, more than enough.

I am just wondering that recent incident discussed at last page with news links is no more going to affect the processing to those who are over 60 days with their applications.


I have a feeling that tomorrow onwards people will start receiving their calls for RFC, if it doesnt happened just by chance, then obviously the next phase will cover almost all the feb applications.

till now the refusal ratio is 3 % only

Lets pray for the best outcome cuz many things are attached with my application as well as others too....

May ALLAH help us in this difficult time
Aameen


Edit: BDW any body here in past who got a call for collection with change of their application '' Returned to AC''...?

if yes please highlight

In respect to the mods i guess they are right its better not to overload the thread with a long timeline everyday.

If we were to update it once a week on this thread it would be a little tricky to view for some members.

Ok guys here is the link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... E1HWEN6Wmc

I will be updating it daily and once Visa is granted (Inshallah) i will give the passwork and email i've created to someone who wants to update the timeline.

Whoever wants to add their timeline please PM me.

Keep me in your Duas :)
Could I request that any granted applicants get transferred to a new sheet and an average working days calculated for each month. I don't trust the figures published by UKBA.
Created a new sheet for granted Visa.

With the working days i think will just stick with the ones we follow.

I sent them through family. If you go a few pages back you will find someone said something about DHL or WHSmith and how much they charge and how many days it takes to arrive in Pakistan.

I think it was sakman who asked all these questions, insha'alah he will be able to tell you if he comes on.

Yes, Reached within one week, this is for big cities. It might take more than for surroundings.
After taking Advice; remember Everyone's application, and thus supporting documents, will be different depending on personal circumstances.

We sent Mehndi pictures (hubby's side and mine), Nikkah pictures and wedding pictures and wedding card, however they still were not convinced our marriage was geniune etc. However when we appealed I sent honeymoon period pictures, sight-visiting etc and pictures with family.

Good Luck
Allah is the greatest!

Hi, just got back from immigration tribunal and won my case.

My wife's was rejected late last year because her IELTS test mark (4 and 3.0 on speaking and listening) were deemed not good enough by ECO. My (UK based) solicitor advised that I should appeal as I would win the case easily and that my wife should sit another test.

So we appealed within 28 days. My wife sat another test (ESOL) and got the required mark, we sent over faxed certificates, but home office wanted originals, these were then sent in March of this year.

Finally I had my tribunal date today and the Home office rep said her original IELTS result was good enough anyway :roll: and that her 'posted dated decision' test proved she was good enough.

So my question is what's the protocal now and more importantly what is the time frame as she is two months pregnant...

hi guys, i am new on here.

my story is as follows. i submitted my application on 16/02/12. went to british high comission 02/03/12. now i gather it has been around 63 working days?

accoring to the appliaction times in march that were submitted in mirpur, they had a 100% answer rate for within 60 days. looking on here it looks like all those who has submitted in mirpur are waiting far beyond 60 days some still waiting over 70 days!

does anyone think there are some issues going on??

thanks
