With visa process seemingly returning to normal processing time of 2-3 month, you would think the ECM reviews should also be carried out.
ECM reviews are conducted, sometimes as was the case with our appeal 2 months before the deadline. There are multiple other former members of this site who also have had overturned decisions with diferring times.

Hi everyone... Aslaamu Alaykum

My wait is all over... I had the same issue as many of you for the city & guilds certificate, but Alhumdulilah my hubby got a call today and he got a call letter emailed to say submit your passport.

My court date was for 26th April but its been overturned just before then. So everyone be patient and get your MPs involved. Mine helped me a lot..

Hubby will be submitting passport next week so Insha Allah he will be here soon.. I wish you all the best and I know its hard but just have sabr and faith in Allah. :)

If anyone is stupid enough to believe what agents say, they deserve what comes their way.

Don't you listen to what anyone says? Don't you know how it works in Pakistan? Never trust anyone outside the organisationitself. Hand in the passport yourself. If you can't even do that, then why bother applying at all?

If they gonna contact you on Monday why not just sit back and see what they say first....
If your mp is involved that's good they will atleast update you and you may get it overturned... There are alot if appeals at present so you may just need to be patient and wait for them to respond, but they are def looking at appeal cases and don't forget that if they had a back log then you may have to wait your turn I think they do first come first serve.... Not sure...
Experdite doesn't always work but getting mp involved is defo the way forward... But also they do ask you to give them about 3 months as that's the time scale they have on their emails.

Notice of Pending Appeal

Post by HaroonAli » Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:47 am

Hi Guys, Hope everyone is well sorry have not been in touch for couple of months as in Pakistan due to the stress of all this visa process ahhhhh.

Anyways at last I got the court date of 12th July 2013 but it should have been in May/June but not sure why they gave such a long date but anyway in Pakistan till end of May so no worries. However my lawyer has stated that in mid May he is going to eMail BHC for an update as by then they will have enough time.

However he has stated that most chances are that it will be overturned but to be honest the way things are going it does not look like it but lawyer is saying he has overturned 4 decisions in last 6 weeks so maybe who knows.

Below is my timeline......

Refused: 06/11/2012
Appeal: 06/12/2012
Notice of Pending Appeal Recieved: 02/03/2013
Deadline Given: 12/07/2013

I hope it gets overturned soon as I am coming back in end of May as otherwise going to be a headache.....

Have a good day everyone.

Thanks

Are you sure 12 July is not the deafline for ECM review?


Our ECM review deadline is 27 May. Emailed BHC as now almost three mobths since they got the papers and they had said it takes up to three months. This time they said: "Kindly note that this process can take significant length of time due to heavy volume of under process appeals.".

I am losing hope of them looking at it within deadline. Will get MP involved when there are a couple of weeks left to deadline.

@ r4sh1d

I think you should contact the MP now as zully told me to do so and I have...no harm in giving it a try. My deadline for the ECM review is 11th June and last wednesday I went down to see the MP. I hope the decision gets overturned soon inshallah and I would also recommend you to contact ur local MP.

A call is normally a good thing. Do not worry.

What makes you certain it was a call from BHC, out of curiousity?

Good thing because for starters it means they looked at you file!

I have seen at least a couple of instances where they call before sending a call letter.

IA you will hear back soon. Be positive.

Are you the appeallent or sponsor...
The reason I ask is usually they will call the appealent not sponsor. Also I'm a little concerned because you have appealed and put a fresh case in so it could be to just clarify that aswell... Just don't get your hopes up. But I do hope it's good news after all it's close to your deadline so possibility is very good that they have overturned.

Appeal allowed

Post by immi4u » Tue Apr 16, 2013 1:59 pm

Hi guys
Hope everyone having good time . Just want to update that my appeal have been allowed by the tribunal judge toady as no home office representative was there in the court and the judge (lady) showed a bit anger over the home office useless rejection point of subsisting marriage .....
Really got some relief from this painful waiting time......
Hope remaining process will be done in due course of time as the judge told wife that determination letter will be with u in 2 weeks time
Lets see how much time BHC Islamabad will take further to issue the visa .....
Best wishes for u as well
Remember in ur prayers

Yes indeed the ECM Review Date is 12th July 2013. Lawyer has stated if they do not reply by then it automatically goes to court and I should get a date within 6-9 weeks.

I hope this makes sense....

It takes about 2/3 weeks for determination letter from judge.
It took my hubby 3 weeks to get call letter but they wrote to him, usually they call so it may come earlier.. Then once passport was handed in it took 4 days... For visa...
If you partner doesn't gave a valid tab certificate I would suggest that they do it while your waiting for call letter. As my hubby had to wait an extra week just so he can do tb test...
But it's not long now, just start getting ready that's all I can say.
Very happy for you that all thus waiting for you has come to end nearly and you can start your life.
