i think they are just saying 90 days to cover themselves for being a bit behind,maybe all new applications are 90 days n as becks said they just told me and becks 90 days as a standard answer, when in reality as my hubby said worldbridge dont know jack s***

as hard as it is for us all, now is the toughest time, we have all been apart from our other halves for far too long,and we all have to try our hardest to stay strong

kasa you are right what the hell have we paid all that money for? certainly aint a first class service eh! but when we all get our loved ones back it will all be irrelevant

becks i will also phone again tomorrow, maybe they will get sick of us pestering them and give us what we want lol

he is the only one that collect it grr, but why have we paid an extra 400egp for the premium service when it clearly makes no difference!

he said he will have to go on monday, but i think you can only collect between 3pm and 4.30pm

this is gonna be a very long weekend

i paid for a text too but I dont trust them to update anything now so I am just going to call them everyday until I get an answer from them.

I know its worrying and feel sorry for Shaz having to wait all weekend to get her visa.

oh i know shaz will be worrying all weekend. That happend to my friend too and they ended up being refused too which was arful.

I'm just worried because we applied a week before shaz but nothing i can do till Monday.

Think we all should meet up and spend the weekend drinking either lots of coffee or wine and smoking shisa then the weekend will pass quicker.

I'm so glad my friend told me about this site.

oh no its so nerve wracking...............there was a woman who applied around the same time as people on here and got hers in about two months way before anyone elses. I wouldnt worry they are probably clearing a backlog and i suppose it depends on which ECO you get as to speed.

Yeah I feel like some sheesha actually!!!!!

hi my hubby's from shakia but works in sharm.

I wouldn't worry to touch about the refusal. My friend did not get a phone call asking questions.

they are just so hot on the english requirement. i know of another rejection and was linked to the exam, so if we've all done that, we did the british council cambridge exam then i think we're half way there.

All we can do is follow there polices and laws if we've done that then there should be no problem.

besides they are breaking our human right of freedom to marry who we want.

i would not worry but that's easier said than done. but we have each other and can support each other the best way we can.

handualla to us all x

yes I believe they are very fussy about the english exam. I think I did all the application right but I neveer used a solicitor.

Shakia, thats not to far from my husband he lives near zagazig but I met him in Dahab............only been back from him for 4 days and missing him. Think its the worry and the stress of this waiting.

Your right at least we have each other and know what it feels like x

Sharon

did he do ESOL also it looks like they changed the test list on the date you applied anyway. I am sure all will be ok. My hubbies friend did a test at the wrong centre and because all his paperwork was fine they told him to take it at the right on and he got his visa - a bit delayed but they didnt refuse him on it

Hi Maxiy,

Good to hear from you again. Shaz's visa is ready and she applied 2 days before us so I am hoping we should hear next week now. For some reason they skipped Octobers times I dont know why but the rate was very low in November 20 in one month thats almost only one per working day.

Kaza applied 4th october but is still waiting.

I am praying all the time for all of us
