Nawaz86, when yur hearing gets succesful at end of october the judge wil instruct bhc to send yu a letter in which bhc wil request yu to submit yur passport within so many days and if yu fail to submit by their required date for whatever reason (i.e because yur passport is with bhc already) then this wil certainly create a problem for you.

Sorry but have you not heard back since applying on 18/04/2013??

UK BA website advising (ISB, Pakistan as example) 83% of settlement cases being dealt within 60 days, 100% within 90 days (working) based on decisions confirmed in Jun-13. So I guess no. of applications must have increased significantly since April/May-13 if they are taking that long.

ECM is Entry Clearance Manager who is above the ECO ENTRY Clearance Officer. You can fax them now but you would have batter chances after your 24 working weeks over because then you have legimite reason to complaint as they have not processed your case within their maximum specified time.
Usually UKBA say something like we aim to deal with 95% application within 24weeks but doesn't specify for ultimate time limit ok any application but in this case they have published that 100% case are dealt within 24 weeks. Hope makes sense.

P.S when you complain make sure you make it FAO For Attention Of ECM and then write everything including reference from their website.
Hope that helps.
Remember rest of us in duaa too.

Just thought I will let you all know my wifes application has also been put on hold due to the ECO saying I do not meet the financial requirement when I am sure I do. It seems ECO dont know the rules themselves.
I received email from the embassy this morning stating the above and giving me 3 weeks to submit my reply. I fully intend to as the rules and law has not been applied correctly. I used my wage and savings to meet the requirements. It seems they don't even bother reading your cover letter where I explained everything.
For some odd reason where my cash savings are concerned it statesI have not provided evidence for the required level of savings. When I gave them bank statements for 6 months showing at no time I fell below the required level infact had 3000 more then required during the whole of that period.
The ECO also states my wage slips do not correspond with salary being paid into my account which is complete crap every single wage correspondes with the statement so I do not know where he got that from. I am really upset as I feel after waiting for more then three months and fullfilling all requirements stated, this was unfair decision.
I intend to right a letter explaining why I feel I do meet the requirement by highlighting the rules and guidance and I believe I meet it.

Kind regards,
Rajauk
Sorry raja Saab but on this occasion I don't think the ECO is incorrect. The level of saving you say is 3000. In reality that's nothing when supporting a wife what's your wage as shown on the payslips?. I suggest you get advice from an immigration expert.

Just to put things into proportion if you want to support a wife on savings you need in excess of £60,000 and you need proof of where it came from and a banks letter stating you don't have any loans, mortgages etc (expenses). So you are free to use it as you please.

I keep saying to my fellow people........."the attention is in the detail"

Cover every angle. Don't leave them unsure or questioning. And most importantly only provide what they ask for not pointless documents.

Regards
It seems you've done exactly what the ECO has done. Not understood what I have written even though I think its in plain English. I had £3000 more then the required saving.

We'll raja Saab the person who your supposed to satisfy is confused. I wouldn't class that as good. And don't forget I was granted a visa within 3 months.

I suggest you stop thinking everyone is incorrect look at the legislation and study the notes there will most probably be something

Don't be so mean
Not everybody has the knowledge you have and that's the reason he is on this forum - to ask for advice. You shouldn't be so quick so judge... It's just wrong
