Thanks Arslan,

Is there anyone who applied from Karachi still waiting ?, i see the ECO's are not working in date order, its a random mix of dates when people are hearing replies. Atleast September is being looked at.

I contacted the number given online. I was told that it can take up to 14 days in some case for individuals to receive an email confirming case decision has been made. I was also told that it does happen that some ppl don't even get an email. I was told to remain patient and wait and within the coming week the passport should be posted back and ready to collect at Gerry's. And once there they will contact me.

So we should hear by end of next week, if we don't get any emails then atleast we'll get a call to pick documents up.

Hi All,
I am sorry to hijack the forum, but I think I can find the answer of my question here easily.


1. where can I find the certified translator in Lahore to get the English translation of my urdu Nikah Nammah?
because home office guidelines say that Nikah naamah must be translated by the certified translator and translator must provide its office address and telephone number.

OR is it okay if I translate it myself truly and then get it attested from Notary Public or from Foreign Office in Lahore? will this be accepted by UKVI? OR the Nadra Nikah nammah along with original Urdu copy would be sufficient and no need of translation ?

AS all of you have already applied the spouse visas, so I am sure some one can help me in this regard please.
Thanks

Here is the link https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... rement.pdf.
In case you cant open the link here is the subtract ....5. Salaried and non-salaried employment
5.1. Category A: With current employer for 6 months or more – person residing in the UK
5.1.1. Where the applicant’s partner (and/or the applicant if they are in the UK with permission to work) is in salaried employment at the date of application and has been with the same employer for at least 6 months prior to the date of application, they can count their gross annual salary towards the financial requirement. In doing so they must have been paid throughout the period of 6 months prior to the date of application at a level of gross annual salary which equals or exceeds the level relied upon in the application.
5.1.2. Gross income from non-salaried employment will be counted on the same basis as income from salaried employment where the person has been with the same employer for 6 months or more at the date of application.
5.1.3. Non-salaried employment includes that paid at an hourly or other rate (and the number and/or pattern of hours required to be worked may vary) or paid an amount which varies according to the work undertaken. Salaried employment includes that paid at a minimum fixed rate (usually annual) which is usually subject to a contractual minimum number of hours to be worked.
5.1.4. The only difference in Category A between salaried and non-salaried employment is how gross annual salary or employment income is calculated:
Where the person is in salaried employment – they must have been paid throughout the period of 6 months prior to the date of application at a level of gross annual salary which equals or exceeds the level relied upon in the application. Therefore the figure used towards the requirement will be the lowest level of annual salary received during the 6 month period.
Where the person is in non-salaried employment – the level of gross annual employment income relied upon in the application will be the annual equivalent of the person’s average gross monthly income from non-salaried employment in the 6 months prior to the date of application (where that employment was held throughout that period).
To calculate this annualised average for non-salaried employment in Category A the following calculation should be used:
(Total gross income from employment held throughout the 6 month period, divided by 6) multiplied by 12 = Income from non-salaried employment that can be counted towards the financial requirement.

My advise was an interpretation of the above rule, It is wrong of you to say I come here to give bad news, who the hell are you to judge me. Most of the time my advises are based on my personal experience, and where not they are from sources. I was twice refused under category A salaried employment because my payslip showed below 1550 and I have seen been many people who were refused only because one of their pay slip (out of 6) showed payment less than 1550. I don't exactly know ket1 situation, but here on this forum no one is qualified, forum is for giving advice so take it or leave it, in your case you left it and succeeded but someone else might not. You are lucky you got your visa you should be pleasing Allah swt now rather than having a go at me, at the end of the day it is all down to Allah swt who should or shouldn't get the visa.
May Allah swt make it easy for us all
