That's the same date my wife applied! But it was from Mirpur.

I hope insha'allah the place of applying doesn't make too much of a difference.

With respect

This is what was confirmed on Facebook and they got married in April and visa was definitely submitted in June, I am not making it up, I'm in the process just like the rest of you, and she's not directly my friend, its my sister's friend, I heard the other day and I posted the news because I thought other June applicants may have got their responses, also please don't forget that a lot of people who have submitted visa's are NOT on this forum and my sister's friends's husband is also NOT on this forum, I was surprised to hear the news as a lot of May applicants are still waiting . I just want to say that everyone's case is not the same, UKBA views every ones case differently because I am assuming that everyone circumstances are not the same. I am not expert but I came on this forum for hope and guidance. Personally I am not expecting to hear anything till December/January as my husband applied on 28/06/12 because I am going with what the UKBA have said in terms of the waiting period and I am praying for the best not just for me but for everyone inshallah. Please everyone stick together..

Forgive me if I said something wrong

[Alyzah]

I personally think rare cases get early responses but we should stick to what we have been told by UKBA, well I am anyway, despite I would like to see my husband very soon as I am going through a real hard time but I am not alone, you all are with me inshallah.

[aa786]

salaam everyone.
just wanted to ask is it only one may person on this forum who got a reponse or are there others.

applied may 25 just wondering how many people of may are still waiting.

[jalebi]

Yes waiting times vary and people don't always get the same timelines for example, last year my sis in law applied in october, got her visa in november and was in the uk by december and my other sis in law applied in july and it's been 3 months with no response.

Should be first come first serve and if not your money back bloody cheek as far as im concerned.

[Alyzah]

I understand the frustration but the great thing is that people are being granted visa's, and I remember many years ago when my sis in law applied, the waiting period was 9 months and that was minimum, so inshALLAH you will hear soon not long brother.

[Shazia1104]

I just read namaz n made special dua for all of us waiting for our other halves visas.

That's the best thing one can do and thank you sis

[prince007]

Hi and Salaam to all, hope you all doing good, just want to add some words, patience is the key to success, have full faith in Allah Swt and always do Dua to Allah Swt asking for help which is the best way. hope all youzz waiting get a quick positive response. Ameen. And plzz plzz brothers and sisters keep me in ur Dua's my wifes case got refused back in march and its still awaiting Review. Please do Dua that she gets the Visa in Review Ameen.

As they say Doing Dua for some one else first is the best and then ask for yourself. May Allah Swt Shower his blessings on all the people waiting and hope they get their Visas. Ameen

Thanks

Don't forget every case is unique and has to be assessed this way.. thats why some people get visa's quicker than others..

So the first come first served doesn't really apply to situations such as this

Erm you havent really explained anything all you have done is repost your timeline. Inshallah i hope mine and everyone else's visa is processed as effeciently. most cases are straight forward i.e bank statements, nikah papers etc nothing unsual.

I dont think this is the case. If every case was different then my wife and son's visas would have been issued without any delay. My wife lived in the UK for nearly 3 years as my spouse, our son was born here in the UK, i am earning £50k, I have got my own house, i showed the bank statements with around £7000 balance.

My wife and son applied on 14 June from Islamabad but still no news.

UKBA are dealing with the applications as they come not on the individual circumstances.

You think your case is straight forward, but based on the comments you've posted, it's anything but straightforward.

Here are some of the questions they might ask, you lived with yoru wife for 3 years in the UK, if so, how? Why did it take your 3 years to apply for a settlement VISA. You have a son as well, so immediately, there's more work.

No case is straightforward, absolutely none, even if you think yours is, to the ECO it can't be.

My friend works within the UKBA and he tells me that there is a specific process each application follows. The problem is, some ECOs handle cases more slowly than others because they will often randomly get the document verification team to check and re-check.

I was expecting a stupid reply from you King2be98 and i got that. You are very thick. Hmm hang on a minute. Let me think about which visa my wife was on when she lived here . What are the possibilities ??

Just to clarify to people like King2be98 who dont understand immigration rules, my wife lived here on a dependent visa when i was on a Work Permit.

Now i have ILR and she is applying a settlement visa coz she had to go back just before her visa expired due to an emergency in pak. The requirements which needs to be met are fiancial stability, genuinenes of the relationship, not using public funds etc etc, we have met all that.

Hope this simple wording is good enough for you King2be98. I hope and prey that the ECO is not as thick as you.

@solospy
i agree with u mate,that ukba deals with the cases as they come,and the out come of the decision is based upon individual circumstances .Every case is different only when its under process and the decision of permit and deny is to be made.If the case is complex then they might take longer so that all the necessary checks can be done.thanks

[Scottishraja]

Loved your response to King2be...........

That guy is an idiot

Hope you here good news soon

[solospy]
