salaam bro. i called up the pakistan office today. spoke to the guy and he told me to look at 90 days as more likely now. i asked how things are going and he said he has no idea when it will be done. i did try to question it a bit more but obviously he can only say so much. but i did manage to get it out of him that it would be much closer to the 90 days. so another couple of weeks at least for me yet.

may b u have to wait for more then couple of weeks as per your own statement but i dont put my self in this line, reason is i dont assume it will take weeks or a month to sort out things, better stay calm and easy like u r and dont assume anything for your self, i guess u dont have any thing else to do except thinking about visa visa visa and visa....this is not everything u have in ur life buddy, dont mind never meant to hurt u if it really does hurt....

no the visa is not the only thing on my mind but i have to pick my wife up which means i have to book my holidays as soon as it gets granted therefore i have to plan my time very carefully as booking any leave at work is a nightmare in getting it approved.

i have to also save up enough money for her ticket and mine which i have done but i need to make sure i dont use that money and the tickets are getting more expensive by the day as its summer.

if the visa application fails, then i can get back to my normal routine without this hanging over my head.

I Was as happy as the applicant is and every one will be INSHALLAH once the visa is stamped for them

* important point, the rejection ratio is very low in several cases, majority is granted visa based on their applications along with the relevant documents they have submitted.
