Its could be possible that they just have not updated the system.

You will normally have to wait for a letter, to know the judges decision. This is called a called a "detemination" letter.Rucy786 wrote:
At the court do they tell the decision straight away or they send a letter? and who do they send the letter, the person in pakistan or in uk?

you can use this you will find its been 62 working days for you today you need to add a extra day for early may bank holiday as it was a normal day for bhc in pakistan.
no sorry that was my mistake i didnt see the 6th you still need to count from the 6th, I only saw the 19th after reading carefully i realised it was from the 6th not the 19th.lahore123 wrote:thx buddy, its means i have to count the days on 19 not on 6 march.Shatif wrote:http://www.work-day.co.uk/lahore123 wrote:can anyone hep me plz, how many working days i have,

Your are really out of order. How could your write that to anyone you know nothing about batleykhan so y assume. You don't know anything about life yet your only 21. You need to chill if you work for government then send you complaint. If the others want too then paste a copy of your and let them make there choices.
Batley wasn't taking about his life he was talking in general and I think most mature people on here understood exactly what he was saying.
Now you really should refrain from thinking so negative otherwise you will blocked from here. So calm down there are people here in worse situation than you and there not moaning or shunting there doing what they need to and waiting as it was expected.
I really hope for your sake you didn't hurt batleykhan's feelings.

Dear brother its a very simple thing. Just keep in mind that sat and sun are off in Bhc. Start counting your days from the day you applied, as per my rough estimate nearly 65 working days has been passed on your application.lahore123 wrote:can anyone hep me plz, how many working days i have,

i am being patient, i have done so ever since i have got married but unlike some people on here who have the attitude 'it is out of your hands', i do not take that easy line approach. i AM being treated badly. they are NOT providing the service they are supposed to. i AM a paying customer so i have RIGHTS. if we all sit and do NOTHING, then we would just be a bunch of sheeps who get nothing and nor will the people after us.
i urge everyone who has been treated poorly to send in complaints to as many places as you can. unless there are enough complaints in government funded organisations, more or less NOTHING will ever change. would you ever go in to a shop and wait in line and let the shop keeper serve 10 people who came in after you just because he feels like it? of course not. you too are a customer and expect to be treated well. just like in this case, if there are delays, we have a right to know. if we send in an email, they HAVE to respond.
i want us to make a change for the people who have applied after me. i know it wont make much of a difference for my case but i hope that it does help the people after me.
trust me, i AM a government employee myself and the ONLY real thing they look at is complaint levels and if they are hitting their targets.

All embassies were closed on 4th an 5t june incluong bhc islamabd. They have announced on thier website
Its probably time to put this matter to rest... its up to the individual.. if you feel you are getting a good service then don't do anything and if your not happy with the service then go ahead and contact BHC..Mush2012 wrote:AOA Mirpur,mirpur wrote:Shamus7000

I totally disagree with your comments, as they do not help the forum members.
Batleykhan has a lot of experience in these matters, has been around the block a few times, and will be around on this forum well after all the current applicants have been given their visas and gone from here.
You are looking at this visa application as a formality, your thinking is, you send in your application and the UKBA stamps the passport and returns it as quickly as they can, because that is what they are there for.
The UKBA is under guidance from this current government to minimise the number of settlement visas being granted, it was one of the Tory manifesto promises in the election.
The UKBA are implementing many changes handed down to them in all visa categories and they want to primarily cut the number of visas being granted to the Indian sub-continent.
The complaints procedure is a serious matter, it is not to be taken lightly, you have to look at what their service standards are in detail. I honestly feel this government will not worry about any complaints coming from spouse applications from Pak/India/Bangladesh.
In fact it will be a sign of success in their eyes, that their measures to slow down visa applications is working.

Mirpur my friend my marriage has lasted longer than your are probally old (34 years in total).Yes I chose my wife and yes she is from Pakistan as well. I went through the same procedure as you getting my wife over,so please don't tell me about married life.
wehn i got married, it was because i found the right girl for me and i did not choose her because she was in pakistan. either way, we knew the timeframes when we handed teh applications in but without a doubt, the way we have been treated by them is very poor. and what i am trying to do is to make enough people complain about their services so the people who applied after me in march/april/may etc will get far better service. any government funded organisations will have issues to deal with if they recieve a high level of complaints thus improving the service.
I have no problem with people marrying whoever they want and from wherever they want,but if you marry from abroad, then you must be prepared to wait your time to go through the procedures of which all people are aware off. Some of these people come on day after day here moan and whinge about teh delays.
I have had teh opportunity to see first hand how applications are processed from Pakistan, and believe me if you saw the same, you would soon realize why there is extensive delays with such application. I have no doubt and do not apologize for saying this, but the amount of fraudulent documents from Pakistan is really unbelievable. These needs to be checked extensively before an ECO refuses it, otherwise teh ECO will have to answer for his action .Even though a document looks obviously fraudulent, checks are still carried on it to confirm it. This takes time and unfortunately it means the officer checking this cannot do other checks on other applicants.
The UKBA gives times on how long application may take process, you will see the maximum time they have to deal with application is 120 days for a 100% completion. It means they HAVE 120 days to deal with application. If after this time they have not dealt with application, then you are justified to complain. Most people on this forum are going by dates which their application has been approved, and everybody else is thus accepting that theirs should be dealt with at the same time. By all means you are free to complain,but if you want my honest opinion, nothing will come of it,simply because we are Pakistanis.....nobody pays any attention to what we say unfortunately now a days. I think the best thing for applicants and their sponsors to do is just to carry on with their normal lives till they hear the outcome of the decision.I am suprised no one has come suicidal about all this worrying yet . Worrying is not good for your health......so sit back and relax
