Emailing the high commissioner, Adam Thomson, to find about the status of your visa is pointless. When you email him, he gives you general answers in a video he tries to make every month. Rather they tell you specifically not to ask him about the status of your case.

As for the other two, then I don't know.

Contacting the other 2 is pointless as well - they just pass it onto Islamabad HC and you get a reply from them. but it might be worthwhile going through them - just so they understand how long the wait is some people are having.

please don't loose hope, my advisor said to Me last week that sometimes ukba will only make 20 decisions a month, it all depends on how busy they are, but he did say that its not long for June applicants...at the end of the day ukba operate the way they want to, but inshallah June and July applicants will hear soon, just do dua and Allah will help us all inshallah

Application submitted: 29/05/12
RFC: 2/11/12

My husband received the text at approx 10.30 GMT so will have to collect it on Monday inshAllah. Those 6 odd months of waiting is nothing compared to this excruciating wait! May Allah azzawajal bestow patience in us all and grant us happiness in this life and the hereafter inshAllah, ameen. Please remember me in your duas!

Asalamualikum, applied for my husbands visa on 14th june and still waiting its been a very long and slow wait, i actually flew out to make the app together with him as it is suppose to make the app stronger but obviously its made no difference in how long they take ALTHOUGH in the application they ask if we intended on travelling back together! Inshallah hope we all will get some good news soon as im really hoping its us june aplicants turn now!

Welcome to the board, the mp can find out latest developments of your case, but normally you would have to wait 24 weeks, I haven't contacted my mp as inshallah June applicants will hear soon..

inshallah you will hear very soon

I think you should contact you MP you might find out something of your case, if I don't hear in a few weeks then I will also but I think they do ask you to wait till 24 weeks but give it a try. Fellow board members will also advice you.

I should start from 6 July in your case. UKBA state the following on their website:

"The processing time begins when our commercial partner Gerry's has received your completed application form, application fee, passport and supporting documents, and you have enrolled your biometric information."

As a June applicant that makes me soo angry, you've ruined my mood. Shows you how much corruption and unfaireness in the processing times
