Hi I have been a silent reader on this board for several months and it has helped me alot.
My wife recently received her visa with a processing time of only 8 weeks!!!
I applied category F self employed which I beleive to be very difficult due to the amount of financial documents that need to be submitted. Alhamdulilla my wifes visa was given on the 3rd of february and she shall be with me on the 1st of march.
The two email theory is correct as this refernce number is stamped in my wifes visa.
We applied in Islamabad on the 27th of november 2014
documents received at BHC on the 28th of november 2014
initial pre assessment and online verification done on 2nd february 2015
processed and concluded emails 3rd february 2015
visa picked up by a very beautiful and happy wife on the 4th of february 2015
I never expected to have the visa granted so quickly and was prepared for a long 6 months minimum wait. I did not hire any silly solicitor as this board and the requiremnt documentation seem to be pretty self explanatory.
Just a word of advice, please do not submit your paperwork if you are not 100% satisfied with it yourself you are wasting your time and money. I have seen some people being rejected for very minor silly reasons that did not have to be made at the time of preparing an application.
If anyone needs any help please fire away and i will be more than willing to help as you have all helped me so much.
Thank you and i hope you all get your visas approved, mu duas are with you all.
All the best x
