Just wanted to say to those who are still waiting that dont worry and stress. Whats going to happen will. Also that my case wasnt very strong. The nikah nama we gave initially had d.o.b mistake but we had it changed. However tht obviously did cause us some worry. We comnunicated using phone cards which many people said wouldnt be accepted as valid evidence as there is no phone bill showing number to that destination. I had maximum 3k in bank and provided only 5 months wage slips. I hadnt visited my wife for over two years. Personally i thought that our case would be declined and visa denied due to these reasons as others were getting declined based on small issues. However alhamdulillah we got ours granted by the grace of Allah.so brothers sister keep the hope and faith Allah and insha'Allah you will never be disappointed.

Before i stop ranting i'd just like to say that the night before wife went to collect i couldnt sleep for hours. When i did manage to fall asleep idreamt that the visa wasnt granted. It felt so real that when i woke up i thought that the visa hadnt been granted. Personaly i believe this was Shaitan and his tricks to try and make me lose trust and belief in Allah sbwt.

So i just want tell all you brothers and sisters out there dont lose hope ans keep praying and asking for help. Thats the only way your going to havw your visa granted, and these officers sat behind desks looking at applications have no control over the outcome. Only Allah sbwt.... :P

Jazakallah and may Allah grant every single one of you visas insha'Allah!
Congratulations and thank you for this post. It gives hope to all of us worrying about the details in our applications.

Well the high commissioner did say they are exerting full effort to hurry the system.

But still want confirmation for the June applicant. (Sounds a bit rude, but desperate times) :(

travel time

Post by TxS » Fri Oct 12, 2012 12:42 pm

Hi,

How much time does a person from Mirpur Pakistan have after the visa has been granted to travel. The passport states 2 years but is there a specified travel-before date.

thanks

salaam all,

Husbands visa was stamped on 3rd oct, so it takes about 4/5 working days to change status to RFC. Confused about how long to travel....I'm sure it is within 3 months, unless this has changed under new law or something...please can someone clarify this?? Thanks.

Hubbys booked flight for 17th nov as we have a family member going pakistan and hubby has property work and loose ends to tie up, so it makes sense that they both come back together inshallah.

App submitted ISL: 17/04/12
Under process BHC: 30/04/12
RFC: 08/10/12
Collected & Visa Granted: 09/10/12
