Asalam o Alikum everyone.

Hope everyone had a wonder full and blessed EID :)

I'm planning on flying to Pakistan in the new few days because I've had enough off waiting however I will be only there until 9/11/2013 so that't two weeks. Now I made the application on the 22/05/13 and my 6 month are not up until 22/11/13, so will it be better if I wait until near that date and then fly so at-least I can go to the embassy if we haven't heard anything by then or can I go to the embassy now and ask about the progress?

Thank you :)

I would also suggest to wait till your 120 days are up
Just incase they write to you asking for more documents or anything can be possible when it comes to BHC

I've just managed to send my documents to them and hopefully things will look up after eid holidays

Have you sent them something new, did you fax it? I've sent a letter explaining the misunderstanding they've had with my case and incorrectly putting application on hold but I'm really wondering whether it will have any effect... Wonder how long they r going to take to reply now!

They wrote to me asking me to send in more supporting documents for self employed so we just sent everything they asked for even if I did send them previously

Hi Guys,

I have my court hearing soon for spouse visa ...

It was refused on financial circ.

I am representing my wife's case my self i.e no solicitor.

Any suggestions prior to my hearing would be nice ??

I am interested to know experiences in the court room, my preparation before hand etc. Or any nice piece of advice that would benefit me ...

Thanks

Ron

Great thank you. I'm going to wait and In'Sha'Allah won't have to fly at all :)

I know most off the Aprils applicants have now completed their 120 days, anyone from April still waiting?

I think your husband has had rfc because you sent them documents they wanted therefore should be issued a visa. Which date did you send them documents they requested and did you send them by post or email? thanks

Application Refused: Jul 2012
Appealed: Unsuccessfull
Reapplied: 27th Sep 2013
Application hold - Jan 2014
RFC: 26th August 2014
Result: Alhamdulillah Visa Granted - All thanks to Allah and your prayers
