understand you have been waiting for long and apologise for any
inconveniences. We have received a response from the decision making
centre, following your request for information on the status of your visa
application which states as follows: " Under process with on-going
enquiries/checks ". You are requested to be patient and wait for the
processing to be completed. Today i rang them and he said me that u will b hear within week ...he said we are v soory....he esclate my case to someone and said after minite that whom i send ur case i know who he is .....he is v nice and u get a response within days ...In Sha Alllah than after i got the mail...which i states in my first lines

Same answer to meeeee
Do nt believe on these people.

I also got the exact same response when i asked to for details of a senior ECO to make a complaint.
Its been 314days since my husband submitted his application.
This waiting game has depressed the life out of me.
It looks like i'll be spending my 1st wedding anniversary alone.

Awww i feel for you sis... May Allah listen to our prayers soon inshAllah... Sometimes we cannot understand the reason but Allah has better plans for us which we cant understand. It might help you to make your relationship strong with your husband, don't lose hope

[AMRKHN]

At the day of judgement what are these BHC people going to reply to Allah when Allah asks, for what reason did you keep all these people waiting?

If it was white people they would have processed things faster, how ever these are our own Pakistani people which are ment to process fast but no!

[fullahs]

How come they sent you this response as your income is over the minimum income threshold?

Got this reply this morning

Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Enquiry
service.

I understand you have been waiting for long and apologise for any
inconveniences. Currently the majority of settlement visa applications were
on hold and waiting for a response. The judgment from the High court will
mean that, from the 28 July, the 4,000 individuals whose applications are
currently on hold, pending this judgment, will now receive a decision.
These are cases which met all the requirements apart from the minimum
income threshold and now stand to be refused. If you were refused, you may
ask for refund and make a fresh application.

i had this too wen i called thm up yday she sed it dosnt necessarily mean urs is on hold it could be they haven't even looked at ur evidence yet as they were pausing all decisions until the outcome. my situation being that i was asked for additional documents and then not told if they had been rejected/accepted so its still a waiting game i guess. these are all automated replies as they cannot be bothered to get up n chek

Your recent email correspondence about the above refers. We can confirm your comments have been noted.



At present we are processing nearly 4000 applications that were held up with an appeal court case, plus new applications continuing to be received. Your spouse’s application is one of them. We are endeavoring to process all of these applications as expeditiously as possible, but as we are sure you can appreciate with this volume of work it does take time to consider them fully. Whilst an exact timescale for a decision on your spouse’s application is not possible at this stage, we would envisage it being within the coming weeks. Your spouse will be contacted directly by us once we are in a position to do so and a decision has been taken.



We regret we cannot provide a more positive reply at this time.



Yours faithfully

Lame excuses... they should hire extra staff ... after all they have minted millions from the 4000 cases which are on hold.
Zeeh I really feel for you as you applied even before I did.
I pray you are re-united with your spouse very soon.
