I've applied for a new job, our settlement application, My Driving Test my patience is being tested. But Inshallah Allah (swt) will give me strength and patience, Ameen

Good Luck to all those who are waiting making dua for you please keep me in yours.

My dua's are with all you guys that have had updates, you should get good news inshallah!!!!

Out of interest, and in a losing battle to keep my sanity, if it gets to a point where I have to appeal a decision, what is the procedure and what are the forms i have to fill in (im the sponsor).

Whats the time difference in appealing from here and pak, are there any other differences apart from time?

Didnt think the waiting would effect me, but as the time is getting nearer im starting to get a bit tetchy!!!! fortunately ramadan starts in a week or two so at least something else can occupy my mind!

Many MANY Congrats to UKVA4! :D

I'm so surprised in the sense that it was just less than 12 hours ago that I was telling you to have faith, etc and here you are with the visa in hand. Congrats man :)

Now hurry up and book your flight and come enjoy the funny weather of UK :lol:

Oh yeah, have a look back a page or 2 for the list of potential questions you could be asked upon arrival at the Airport.

I emailed bhc twice this week but they did not reply at all regarding visa status. This morning while leaving for work checked online and it was still application under process. At 1225 pm pakistan standard time exact I received an sms simultaneously followed by an email Both from gerries to collect... Then I logged in to check vfs website and the status had changed there as well... Alhamdolillah, it ended well :)

Brother I am short of words to thank u for all the encouragement... I had literally stopped coming to forum as I had almost run out of patience and anxiety had flushed all my adrenaline... Ur words of encouragement, hope and faith were excellent consolation and meant a lot... I would try to play the weather card @ airport... Would be doing iftar on first ramadhan with my wife insha allah... thank u again bro :)
