Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[th3]

Hmmm I can imagine what your going through bro, however i have emailed the BHC today, lets hope it makes them get up and do something Insha Allah.

The people who've applied after April are getting very quick turnover times.

So keep praying and pestering them, and you should know something in 1-3 months max in sha Allaah.

Just remember - as we've all covered here before - the responses you get from UKVI are usually generic unless it's about escalation/documentation or specific as such.

[th3]

@th3 I hope you hear within a few days. I really feel for you and also considering that fact you have a kid aswell. I hope your patients pays off inshallah. Just keep praying nothing is more powerful than dua

Thanks sis!

It's true, keep praying.

The kids the toughest part... shes over 2 years old now and I barely got to see any of it... arghhh :/
Worst torture ever!

I hope to God they've given me a satisfactory reply by then.

2nd Dec, I'm going to bring her here with me. Not long now...

My hubby got an email from BHC Islamabad on Friday 7th November that your uk visa application has been processed and will now be returned to the visa application centre.It has been almost 2 weeks but VAC MIRPUR didn't call. Yesterday my hubby emiled Ukvi.They replied back that the application has been processed and a decision has been made..Please note that your passport and documentation could still take some time to reach you whilst being sent back from decision making centre whilst other administrative formalities are completed.The visa application centre will be in contact with you regarding the collection or delivery.

please can anyone tell me that can my hubby can go to visa application centre without appointment or a call. We applied 3rd march 14..

Pretty straight forward. Asked her who you are travelling with (she was travelling back with me) and my name. Did not check any documentation.

Thank you for your email regarding your husband’s application.

Our service standards do say 24 weeks is the maximum processing time however, there is a caveat that some applications may take longer if further checks are required.



Your husband’s application has been deferred pending further enquiries. We will contact him as soon as these are concluded.

W.A.Salaam izainab5,

As they said there is a caveat that some applications may take longer and your application is one of those. I'll suggest to get your MP involved and see if he can get any sensible response from them.

Thanks,

Networkers!

[bilyh02]

I am new here and was hoping you could help me understand what UKVi meant by the following reply to my status request;

"....found that your application is currently in progress. Your visa application centre or the entry clearance officer will contact you
once a decision has been made..." 11 Nov 2014.

Type of Visa - Spouse
Applied Online - 1 Sept 2014
Biometric/docs submitted at Lahore branch - 8 Sept 2014

Is there any other routes to get a more precise update? Do UKVi provide a service for automatic status updates? "Application currently in progress" - what stages are there in Visa application decision process?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

It not an automated response, but UKVI usually gives generic response. If you want to know the details of process, please read through the document at the following link.
