It's been 56 working days.

I've looked over this forum for the last months... February applications were taking 9 weeks, with one exception; the applicant applied at the end of February and recieved a successful visa on exactly 12 weeks.

There was a applicant called Sadia786 who's had just gone over 12 weeks and now she's not posted on the forum. Insha'Allah she will have got her visa.

I'm guessing there are no more March applicants.
I got my passport back at 21st May..
& i didnt get visa..
I didnt get 12 weeks full..5 days were remainin

I wish I could advise you but after you've had no luck with Gerry's it's hard to say what to do. As they are the one's who took your application they should give you an update. Once its reached the BHC it's then out of their hands.

I have read that Gerry's are often poor at updating their internet tracking service. If you were to have a problem it would have been picked up at the BHC stage, not prior to this.

I know it's a frustrating time but if I was you I would ring Gerry's again tomorrow and explain how it's their responsiblity to update you on your application. Emphasise that you are aware that once it reaches the BHC they have no control, however as it has not reached their yet (according to the system) then they (Gerry's) must update you.

Insh'Allah this will bring you some peace of mind.

asalam, it may be tracking error on gerrys part, but i know of another such applicant who applied in 13-03-2013 and their status has not changed either. so your not the first. usually status changes within 10-14working days. did you apply mirpur?

We applied on 08/05/13 but the status is still unchanged from forwarded to Islamabad OC. According to Gerry's it BHC who updates the tracker once it is forwarded to them.

It is rather frustrating when you don't have full information

Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

Post by atifalisheikh » Sat Jun 01, 2013 11:35 pm

Hi
I am new to this forum.I am bit confused with regards to my case:I have already applied for spouse visa.
Visa Type: Spouse
Date applied: 02/04/2013
Date forward to Oc: 02/04/2013
Date in process: 16/04/2013.

I have 2 jobs: 1 is 10 years old 20 hrs per week contract and I do overtime so my salary is variable,In last 12 months I have earned 14000.00 and from 2nd job which is 5 months old I have earned 6000 Pounds. So the total is 20000 pounds earned so far at the time I applied.I applied in Cat B.
Iam not sure is it right or not.Can any one help.

In category B.. You could use any number of jobs ( be them part time or full )•.

Your gross pay in 12 months prior to application should be 18600+.

So you should be fine..

You are required to provide 12 payslips n corresponding statements too..( instead of 6 months requirement in category A )

Technically u would need 53 payslips for weekly job n 12 for monthly under category B..

Gross pay to date on payslip is 14k... Hmm not sure if eco will consider that.. He should..

Did u provide p60
