Thank u asadalysa... I also wanto ask tht my TB certificate expires on 20th june while application is under process..what should I do?

guys i think your are interpreting the processing times wrong.

from what it looks like some people are thinking the figures show how long it took May applicants to get their rfc, this is wrong.

what they show is that the decisions made in May were all processed within 60 working days. this means it includes people who also applied in febuary. this looks and proved very accurate to me during the time i made my application. and i will find out and report back when june results are published to show if it stands accurate for myself.

Hi Everyone,

I have been following the forum recently, decided to join in, My wife applied for her visa on the 25th of March this year, we are still waiting. It seems promising that those in March are receiving them lately according to recent posts. I pray that my wife receives her visa soon, and I pray that you all receive positive feedback and early decisions regarding your applications.

So those who applied in March - hang in there! I too am still waiting.

looking at a number of other forums etc, it seems that most applications are being handled within 4 months, so fingers crossed.

bluejewl i dont know what you are not getting rfc ..

its about time

its 71st working day for you today dear ... email them

maybe they are doing some checks ( employment , finances , etc ? ) or maybe simply the ECO assigned to your case is a lazy bum

Well seems there around 3 others who applied on the same day as me and have not heard yet... don't see any point in emailing them. I think we shud be receiving RFC next week as according to other cases such as AtifaKhan it took around almost 14weeks.. so plz keep praying as I am for all on this forum

[zaidi22]

i applied on 15th April and i think its 12th week now. but this long wait is nerve wracking and soooo stressful i wishh every one of us get their Rfc's a soon as possible.....ameen

[zaidi22]

bluejewl
i think you are right.its useless to emial them becuse theyy didnt give satisfactory answer so its bettter to pray prayy ....

[asadalysa]

we emailed them after 12 weeks and have heard nothing since - its really useless emailing them. they ignore you anyways!

[HubbyBee]

I emailed Gerrys, Islamabad branch earlier in the week, I have yet to receive a reply or even an acknowledgement. I didn't think I would anyway...but decided to do it just in case.

Like bluejewel, I'm also hoping that next week will prove promising, based on other application who received them,

Lets keep Praying


Juat received the email -

*******
It is requested to note that we have no access to any application process checks/ decisions there . We can only arrange collection once we get hold on her passport please. Generally it takes 12 to 24 weeks and 01 week is defined as 05 working days .



Cooperation is much appreciated.

So just the usual malarchy

Its really odd because i have emailed Gerrys several times and each time they emailed me within a day!!!

[Sameena akhtar]

visaenquiries.islamabad@fco.gov.uk 

I askd Gerrys for an email address for BHC they gave me that address.. i emailed it and have to wait 20 days for a response..

If any of u want to email.. give it a try.
