Hey zedy zed, i wouldnt worry too much about it, let ur manager know about the situation and maybe he can give permission to someone else on his behalf to give his consent of your employment details. How many weeks has it been since submtting ur app? By the time UK border force get back to ur boss he probs be back by pakistan?

Hi Nags,

Hope all goes well for the rest of you :D
Masha Allah good to hear visa was issued. Quick question was your employer contacted and if so how. Telephone,email,letter?

Thanks

May Allah bless you and your family.
I'm self employed so no employer contact. I submitted my last years' accounts, projected accounts for the current year, contract confirmation letter and business invoices. I didn't get any contact whatsoever.

May Allah bless you and your loved ones too, ameen :D

They wouldn't tell me the decision, but my wife emailed yesterday and they replied today saying as your details match, that on the application, i can tell you that the visa has been issued.

Trust me i am so so so so so so so so happy.

Never give up on dua, only Allah has the will to answer your dua.

Asmajafar, ask your husband to do the same.

Just make sure you put all the relevant details:

GXY number
ISL number
DOB
Date of application
Passport number
sponsors name

Just ensure that your husband emails of the same email address registered on the application.

I did dua for you and everyone so Inshallah Allah will answer your our duas.

Maybe worth giving a shot. Let your husband write it from his personal email address - if he has one.

Just put all the details i wrote in my above post.

I havn't heard of anyone phoning. I dont think they would go for that. They don't know who is really on the other line as they have never spoken to you.

With the email address, it limits the ammount of chance of someone faking and the chances that someone knows, the date, dob, gxy number, passport number, isl number and sponsors name is very unlikley.

Sorry can't be of any more help.

Thanks zeddy.

As to your question, they normally contact the email address and telephone number that you placed in your employment letter.

E.g, my HR wrote a letter but on my application i wrote the main number. They looked at my letter and contacted the contact on there. She wasn't there, but they asked a colleague, to whom should they email an employment form too.

The lady worked quickly, they contacted in the morning at 9 and she completed it and sent it before 12pm. (Maybe because i went to see her almost everyday lol)

One important note: - if your HR does get contacted and your employer is requested to fill and employment form, request an email back. My HR lady did and they emailed back, we can confirm we have recieved your form.

Tell your contact not to delete the email until your husband/wife is here with you.

Don't worry, for most people it is taking over 12 weeks.

I and my wife emailed on:

UKHUB.Paki​stanSettlem​entEnquirie​sandComplai​nts@fco.gov​.uk

I regularly emailed until they got fed up and said dont email us for this week. Then i would email them every week.

I do dua for everyone. Make sure you do dua for others as well:

Hadeeth of the prophet (SAWS): The Prophet (saws) said:
Whenever you make a supplication for another believer and he is not present, an angel will say ‘and same to you.’

has anyones employer been contacted via e-mail?
salaam zeddy zed they will ask for you if they phone your place. and ask you questions. if email it will be I guess hours worked, name etc just general info to make sure you work there.

Hope your good.
