For straightforward applications, its 12 weeks. Well, im on 19th week atm so idk what seems to be so complicated about us applicants who applied end April/beginning May thats causing them to make us wait so long :/

Dear Respected ,

Thank you for your email.

It is requested to note that we have raised your query with concerns please.

Cooperation is much appreciated.

Warm Regards,

I recieved this email from Gerrys because i emailed them saying it had been way more than the 12 weeks that they said it would be. They said if it takes more than 3 months and we still have not heard anything then we should email them so they can pass on email to BHC and i did and got the above reply which doesnt help me much. :/

Please I need this information from those who have got their settlement visas approved.

Did BHC return all your supporting documents or did they retain some?

can you give a brief list of the documents that were retained?

Thanks for your positive responses in advance.

Well the following documents were retained:

1. Employer Letter
2. Phone call logs
3. Some email logs
4. My passport bio-data page
5. My wife's passport bio-data page
6. Tenancy agreement and Landlord's letter
7. Boarding passes and visa entry page(s)

Are you saying I can request them to be sent back to me?

Finally, a 30th April applicant who applied from Islamabad on the other forum got her RFC today and visa granted...

Perhaps BHC are beginning to wake up slowly but surely

I'm pretty sure you can contact them and request the original documents.
Put a good reason why you need them and they should return them.

They have replied:

Thank you for your email.

After looking through the list of documents below, most of them would have been retained on our files as they would have been addressed to us. We would also retain any copies of documents submitted to us.

I will have your file located, and we will look through the retained documents to see if some of the other things should have been returned to you.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused

I think it's only my Tenancy Agreement I will like back but then I can do with a copy anyway. The rest of the documents are actually either addressed to HO directly or just copies. So I am fine now.

Thanks guys.
