Hi all..

I reccomend that when sending your message to worldbridge, you state you would like your message to be forwarded to the visa section then the visa section should give you a response specific to your cases.

I send them many times, but I didn't get any reply yet, you are lucky
because you had one reply

if you have completed the 60 working days since application submission, they have to reply you back with the progress of your application.

good luck

Bye

Nosah I think 60 days for you will be 23rd August?

shaz111 · Post by **shaz111** » Mon Aug 13, 2012 10:08 am

i just had another reply from worldbridge, saying that the building works are not affecting processing times!! they said if it affects you, you will be contacted personally...not sure if i believe that.

as for the email address at the embassy i contacted them many times on our 1st application only ever had one reply saying, they do not reply to emails regarding visa applications, so how are we ment to get any sort of answer?!

good luck everyone, lets hope they pull their finger out and start reuniting us with our loved ones soon

H shaz I emailed embassy over a month ago and have had no response at all sent them another yesterday... Still nothing lol

Joona · Post by **Joona** » Mon Aug 13, 2012 10:34 am

So been to see my MP today, he was absolutely great. Very understanding. He was telling me that MPs have a 'hotline' to enquire about application. So he is gonna give that a go.

shaz111 · Post by **shaz111** » Mon Aug 13, 2012 10:50 am

it is out of order really, when u look around the forum you see people from other countries emailing the embassy on a regular basis and getting helpful updates, we get nothing, not even a generic reply

Which is next week I hope so

That sound promising about ur mp. I don't think I've been waiting long enough yet but after a month if I still havent even had a phone call I will try and see mine.

It is annoying some countries find out so much more quickly that Egypt and regarding the "building works" said they would update further and haven't!!

Impatient · Post by **Impatient** » Mon Aug 13, 2012 11:47 am

Yeah sounds like you haven't got much longer to wait. I'm just shocked no one even had a call yet :/
