I am sure that after FEB & March get responses this week and next week then the rest should hear shortly.

Jerry's advised my wife today that applicant times are now only 6 weeks for settlement visa. However it is a long painstaking wait ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Thanks

Also may I ask will they phone my employer in the UK or not please anyone let me know.

Also do they contact the Landlord/lady as I have rented accomadation so me and my wife can move in together.

Thanks

You need to ignore the time scales that Gerrys staff give people because they really don't have a clue. They said to my Wife she will get a reply within 4 weeks. Its all upto the BHC so its best to just wait patiently.

Yes the ECO may contact your employers if they feel they need to undertake more checks due to unsatisfied paperwork etc..

They wil defo contact your employer and more than likely they will look at your living status....These are very important to the BHC as you need to prove you can provide for your partner for 2 years.

Also you made a comment about 6 weeks waiting time.... so far I have not seen anyone get a visa in 6 weeks even if they say it. I would advise you don't get your hopes up there is no knowing what happens behind the Bhc. Just stay patient and like everyone else just wait and see

i dont think they contact every employer. it depends on what evidence you provide

Is it acceptable for me to fill in the online form on behalf of my wife (the applicant)?

All the best bro, I will be waiting to hear the outcome, insha'allah your bro's wife visa is granted.

Btw did you both have a double wedding? Got married in the same month and submitted your papers different times? (Just curious lol)

RAHIM · Post by **RAHIM** » Wed May 30, 2012 10:59 pm

Yeh it was a double wedding....I applied a couple of days before.....didn't apply together....So let's see wha happenz !!!

A/O/A

I have provided for my employment a lot of evidence but however I have heard sometimes they ask if it is unsuitable but all details have been provided.

I provided the following below.

1. Employment Letter by employer informing I work there.
2. Wage Slips & P45 (Approx 20 Wage Slips)
3. Bank statement showing the wage coming in.
4. Contract of employment and offer of employment for wife.
5. Wage Slips by the employer which have been certified as orignals.

I hope this is enough as I did do the extra work to make sure.

Thanks

HaroonAli · Post by **HaroonAli** » Wed May 30, 2012 11:15 pm

Anyway let's see what happens as I have submitted it and it is a very solid case as I have showed bank balance of £3000.00 & also my wife has showed balance of 25,000PKR so I want it accepted first time as already a long wait and now I am feeling the pressure getting anxious lol not even been a day.

Thanks

Yes it does mention a date, the date is exactly 19 weeks after the letter was printed off.

Our date is in the first week of October.

Thats great weel even tho they are taking more than 5months now, its still better to atleast know the dates than dont.

Zully dont b worried about recieving the notice of appeal too much, one member here applied in march and got the letter towards end of May but the deadline was still for aug i.e 5months from the date of submission of appeal, so i am thinking it doesnt affect the deadline given to us.

Hi I just started a new thread it's the student hubby being refused entry and was just looking to ask for any opinions or advice on our situation. I can detail again but is already written. He's gone back to Pakistan this morning and will start the application later today/ tomorrow I guess. Just a bit confused as to what to do now. I'm really glad to see this forum and this thread especially is quite active so look forward to hearing from someone shedding the light on the application process etc.

I have decided i am not going to worry. I am just gonna take every day as it comes one day he will come back. This is just too long and silly nothing is straight forward.

Haroon.... as long as you have given all the documents then you should be fine. Dont just get your hopes up just sit back and wait. Everybody wants the perfect outcome first time but some time BHC can reject on the simplist of things.

Best of luck
