27 WEEK?!?!?!munchies27 wrote:salaam all.
leila thank u so much for updating timeline.
well i finally got a reply from BHC in Islamabad and thiis is wat the email said:
Dear xxx
Re: (ref no)
Thank you for your e-mail of (date)
Please accept our apologies for any delay in dealing with your spouse visa application. We have experienced a high rise in the volume of applications for settlement over the last few months and this has led to us failing to meet our primary customer service target of deciding 95% of applications in 12 weeks. It is still our intention to deal with the majority of applications within 12 weeks and 100% within 27 weeks, but please know that we will complete your application as soon as we possibly can.
You will be contacted through visa application centre in due course, once the application has been completed. Kindly visit Gerry’s website www.ukvacpk.com to check status of application.
Thank you for your patience,
Regards.
so pretty much a standard reply but atleast they bothered replying.
i agree they have been slow with feb n march applicants but as Elisha says the RFC status will start coming through. just pray n dua we all get possitive outcomes... Insha'Allah.
seems like they are doing their job but can u imagine how busy they must be after recieving thousands of applications before 9th July 2012.
well good luck to evryone we will all hear soon Insha'Allah.
hopefully tomorrow we may get good news
stay possitive and all will be fine.
this wait has taken its toll lol...
i applied on 13/3 as wel but still waiting why the heck r they not doin it fast i need my wife:(Elisha wrote:Hey guys
March applicants are beginning to get their visa so hang in there!my friend applied from islamabad on 13/03/2012 and has recieved a response today so those waiting should start to hear anytime!!!
Application submitted 29/03/2012
Forwarded to BHC 13/04/2012
Visa granted 21/07/2012

Probably because the March applicants were sent to a different post. They send in batches, some to Abu Dhabi, some to ISB.munchies27 wrote:y r they dealing with april applicants before march??? i dont get it seriously
seems like they have increased the time aswell!
You people are growing impatient over a 6 month wait? There are members on this site, who for no genuine reason at all were refused and are having to wait 12-15 months. There are some poor girls who've already had to wait 9 months on this site (Syma etc) and aren't complaining.Scottishraja wrote:king2be98 we knew there was going to be a wait.
We just never realiszed it would be this long. Have a bit of a heart.there are some people here who have waited over 6 months.
Your looking at this from the wrong angle. Everyone has a right to a family life. No one wants to be messed around by UKBA waiting times or the torie parties attempts to play around with immigration numbers.
Hi Munchies27,munchies27 wrote:Exquisit33 salaam...
i am unable to join the facebook group unfortunately.
u know on page 3 theres the google doc spreadsheet with timelines, it usually gets updated everyday. but ive noticed it hasnt been updated today so i dont knw who has had any news. plz who ever usually updates it, could you do this. i believe the person who updates it has joined that facebook group as it only got the ex-members/applicants/sponsors names on it. plz could you kindly tell someone to update it plz coz i check it here on a daily basis. i would really appreciate it. its nice to know the updates of the previous members of this forum.
plz could you also send my salaam to evryone, its a shame i cant join the group due to personal circumstances.
Anyways if anybody has any news on thier spouses visa application, then plz kindly update me and the rest of the people on this forum... it gives a little comfort.
thank you
So upsetting that they have increased processing times to 29 weeks... I used up all my holidays at work so can't even go to pakistan to see her... The UKBA should have planned accordingly for the surge in applications, they knew it was coming.munchies27 wrote:king2be98 we all know that we would have to wait but at the time most of us applied we were advised that 95% of applications are dealt within 12weeks and 100% within 24 weeks. i thought i would have got a reply before the changes on 9th July 2012. unfortunately i didnt.
this is not acceptable its getting even worse... i got an email stating 27 weeks and now people are getting emails stating 29 weeks!!! i will take things further if my time passes 24 weeks.
and another thing King2be98 we can complain if we want to. i know i feel for the people who have had to wait longer than 6 months but thats life. everyone is different and some people have more patience than others.
im getting more angrier day by day coz the time scale is increasing day by day!
Ya Allah, please help us :'-(
Exquisit33 thanks for ur reply and giving me an update.
sarah30 the link is on page 3.
I hope a miricle happens soon and all of us march applicants get a RFC status tomorrow
again, wishful thinking
anyways good luck to all.
