I have got my local MP involved now, who is also the immigration minister, so inshallah, he will be able to help. I am sure you will here soon, applying for settlement visa is a good test of patents, if nothing else.
:?
Thanks krip I hope you reunited with your husband soon but I recon as he got immigration history before that's maybe the case for delay. Good luck
Inshallah i hope so. The time scale is normal for appeal. we won in a tribunal, and we won on both grounds of appeal. His case is closed and finalised, its just admin error. We paid a fortune for excellent legal team, who won our case. The appeal process always takes this amount of time, because you have to wait 6 months before your hearing date, then 28 days for decsion, then up to 3 months for call to get your Visa. Its all their time scales tht make it such a long period. As anyone would know, who have had to experience drawn out appeal process. Anyway its all worth it in theend, Inshallah. have you read this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18448733
Yes I heard if that I hope not the from whom his application been rejected unfairly! .But that was few months go I guess the learned lesson and acting fairly same with all applicants .
Hi My husband got his Visa today at last. :D Alhamdilliah.
How are things, hve you heard yet? I know this is such an anxious time, inshallah your will have good news.

Those people who have received their visas, but waited over 4 or 5 months... does the UKBA mention the reason for such a huge delay?

I'm asking, because I have recently entered this waiting game... and i'm already concerned after looking at some posts on this forum...
