The staff at the BHC In Islamabad usually start making employment enquiries soon after receiving the application. They have to make several other enquiries, so if they ring your relatives business and cant get through ( as the business no longer exists)then a cross is placed on the application form, which when it reaches the ECO in London ( in about 3 months time), he will refuse it straightaway. She needs to find work very quickly and inform BHC asap, otherwise they will refuse it,even though she may find employment afterwards, it will be to late.
Speaking from personal experience things such as this happens for a reason, and I am the opinion that there is a problem in this marriage
*nods*
I have been informed now, that the business has been sold last week, about a month after the application had been submitted - so could it be that the UKBA had already enquired? (That would be a good question to ask the sister, coming to think of it...)
I am a bit bewildered by the whole situation. I am German and although I have lived in the UK before and will live in the UK again from summer this year, I know a bit about the EEA family permit but not so much about any of the other visa categories. Nevertheless, I seem to have become the go-to European of my in-laws and am expected to come up with an answer and solution to each and every UK immigration problem.
I absolutely have no idea whether there is a problem in the marriage. It´s an arranged marriage and I would personally have a problem with that fact alone (aka run away screaming) but they seem to be all right with it. It´s their life and I hope they´ll be happy.
Thank you for all your time and help, I really appreciate it!
