disgusting.. have no remorse for some people and then they might give a silly reason for why they havent offered wait for dissapointment.
DISGRACEFULL PROCEDURE,.. AND WHY NO PRIORITY SERVICE FOR SETTLEMENT SOME MIGHT NOT MIND PAYING EXTRA
What you fail to understand is that Pakistan is one of the busiest BHC post in the world with thousands of different application per month.Due to our own fault everything a Pakistani hands in as part of the application is double and treble checked. ( I think its a case that the world don't trust us pakistanis, and with some of the things we do and have done, its no surprise they don't trust us). To put it simply to you I don't think they want more Pakistanis in this country, so they make everything painfully slow and very difficult.But they know Pakistanis are thick skinned and will do anything, pay anything, wait for a long time if required, just to come and see and live in this glorified( but going downhill now) country.
Very few of these people who come here live enjoyably and happily, but I regret to say that most of them usually live a miserable life, working hard, only to earn a very basic salary,that is providing they can get a job in the first place.
I have seen people from Pakistan who are highly educated and respected back in their own country,to work in Asian factories, and are treated like slaves,verbally abused and given peanuts for their hard work. I have seen so many men suicidally depressed, under the thumb of the wife and in laws, who tell them to forget about his family back home.
As for women who come here, their suffering is women, usually locked up in a small terrace house, not allowed to go out, but the worst is that their husbands still carry out relationships with the local white girls. A classic example of this is what happened in Roch dale and in Bradford where a 65 yr old father in law sexually abused his daughter in law whilst her husband was at work. I know all these things because I deal with people and organizations that look into these things
I know these are extreme cases, but its incidents such as this which the government uses to control the flow of foreigners into the UK. It is incidents like these that has made it for most people on this forum to get their spouses here.The British know they cant stop Pakistanis coming in, but they are making it so difficult,that slowly Pakistani elders are now getting their kids married here.
But like I said we Pakistanis are thick skinned, and will do anything to get into this country, so my friend if you have got married in Pakistan, then whether the rules and regulation stinks, I am afraid you have no option but to wait , whatever time it takes them to do the checks.
If you are not happy with that then I am afraid you should have thought carefully before you got married to someone in Pakistan. If you had got married here, you would have saved yourself at least £5k as that is what it will cost you when your wife becomes a British citizen. Furthermore you would not had to worry about this or wait this long.
So just relax and wait for the outcome.
@ batleykhan & All forum memeber in India & Pakistan.....
I totally agree with you.... I am Indian (But born and breed in the UK so British Passport holder lived here all my life and visit India once a year. In March 2011 I went out to India to buy a family home for us (this is my second) and just as it happens on this trip I met a lovely lady (just by chance) and feel in Love. We got married in December 2011 (New Years Eve). It was kind of a arrange marriage as my uncle introduced me to her, but I was not looking or didnt even think anything would come of it but at the end of my 2 week trip I was tell my parents to speak to my uncle and her parents to arrange our marriage.
Anyway we applied in India for her VISA on 6th March (Delay was due to me being in India till 7th Feb and we both went travelling, then we had to sort out her passport name change etc.
Anyway - We are still waiting. Just about to hit the 3 month window now to...
Coming back to the comments, it is both our faults Pakistan and India, the amount of abuse in the UK with wifes or husbands from India & Pakistan is terrible, on top all the over stayer's which less face it are well into the thousands. Someone only recently posted a comment on the forum about her getting married to her husband in Pakistan and is now looking to bring his ex wife and kids over - Things like this make me sick and disgrace me... Im not saying this is just in Pakistan but also also, (well maybe not the secnd wife bit) but in India it is probably 90% ladies applying for settlement but either way, everyone is just looking for a way in, which is fine as long as you do not abuse the system.
Us Indians are just as bad, I never knew a thing about immigration and the process of this till now, in fact I never even thought about getting married to someone India, but it just happened. I do not regret it one bit but just wish that people would not abuse the system and make it hard for US genuine people. But the more I look into all this I am disgraced by my own kind of people for making so hard for our selfs to get married over seas or come here to study etc etc.
People in India have abused the system with over staying like you do not want to know and I am sure it is the same in both of our contries.
I am so pissed off with the system it is un true. There are some of us who are so geniune... I pay my taxes, own my own home in Richmond, Surrey (London) and run my own business, we have all the docs possible and still no answer.
Personally I think they should bring back the interview process, I would rather wait 2 months to be interviewed and my wife to be interviewed then wait 3 months to get a VISA. I say this as if they interview us and even put us on a lie dictator test they will so get the genuine one and the dodgy ones!
Anyway - Rant over but I agree with all... And I think us genuine ones deserv better!
But it is OUR OWN fault we are in this situation...
Sorry I have offended anyone, I am not saying anyone here is abusing the system but to many people from both our countries have done and are still.....
Good luck to us all who are waiting and I pray for us, muslim or indian that we get our VISA and our partners are soon over with us. I know after this process I love my wife more and more each day so the one good thing in all this is that our love for our partners "should grow"....
This forum has been designed to help each other and support each other during a "tough" process. I hope I can help people just like people have helped me...
We all need to make sure our cases are tight, all docs provided and leave no chances! If we are genuine there is NO reason for them to reject us.
Good luck to us all!
