My 3 months are up today?

Should I just sit back and wait as I have never contacted them, due to the fact they always send out a generic email.

I hope Allah blesses me and all the rest of us as this wait just gets harder and harder been to long and going on and on.

ALLAH KNOWS BEST
Aoa

since your 12weeks are up, email them they should tell you if its been processed in the email , yoda emailed the second day when her 12weeks were up and they advised it was processed in the email. So you might aswel just give it a try
Thnx zed I know yoda has done a custom email.
Whats best email to send to as I went Mirpur?
I copied/ pasted what yoda wrote in her email so might aswel use the same template , and send to the same email address . good luck keep us updated


Dear Sir/Madam,

Passport No. : xx
Online Ref No. : xxx
Name : xxxxxx
DOB: xxx
Sponsor's name: xxx
Sponsor' Address: xxx

I applied for a settlement visa on xxx and I am awaiting the outcome on the application, I was advised to e-mail after 12 weeks for an update on the case.

Is it possible for you to advise if the application has been processed .

If anyone needs any information I will be around for a while, so I can share what I did through the help of everybody on this forum.

Navalaviator, any news?
Corrado, any news?
Zahida, any news?

One thing I can say is BOTH my wife and I emailed Gerrys and the UKHUB at the same time on the same day regarding the status. She also called Gerrys and they told her that they have not received the documents yet but are expecting to soon. A few hours lataer, the status changed. I dont know if it was coincidence, but maybe it's worth giving gerrys a ring just in case they are sitting on your docs ??
Qasim I think you are right regarding this, we have been waiting for several weeks and no response to emails, me and hubby sent an email yesterday at the same time, he sent it from his email address and I sent it from mine, and then this morning we both had the same reply and a few hours later status was changed to ready for collection.

So what I advise to people who are waiting for collection after application has been processed is to continue emailing them and chase it up, my hubby’s application was processed more than 5 weeks ago so only Allah knows where it’s been all this time! But I really do hope it’s all good news 2moro inshallah and the wait will have been worth it

First of all congratulations on your Success :D am so happy for you mate and wish you good luck :D

Well am into my 14th week and i haven't yet heard any thing from them,emailed them 4 times and received only 2 generic replies(advising that applications are taking longer then 12 weeks and details are found on Gerry's website")

looking at the trend of 14 weeks average time i expect to hear something hopefully next week Inshallah :)
Which is it of the favors of your lord that ye deny.

[quote="shazaz"][quote="imranh"]why doesnt my quotes ever work???

shazaz i hope you can read my post above

My12 weeks were on the 12/10/10.
Have you started your new job? I think with mine a decision shud b made b4 i start my new job therefore i wont b able to show any wageslips. I can only provide a job contract.

I will start my new job on Monday. I just supplied my P45 and employment letters from my current employer (with leaving date) and my new employer. i havent provided any wage slips yet as i dont get paid till mid november.

i would try and obtain a one page employment letter from your new employers with contact details. if you supply a contract it could state your employment is subject to certain conditions such satisfactory references etc etc and it might state you may be on a probationary period - you want them to have no doubts about your employment !!!!!

Thanks Navalaviator, we were putting our documents together at the same time through a lot of questions back and forth. I'm just relieved that its all over. Inshallah yours will be very soon to. I will pray for you and everyone else waiting. Zahida, inshallah it will be great news tomorrow....keep us posted.

Dear Zahida

Thank you for your email. I apologise for the delay in processing your husband's application unfortunately, this is due to a computer error which had occurred and which has now been resolved.

The VAC will be contacting you shortly when your paperwork is ready for collection. Please do not contact them direct as this may cause a delay to all applications.

Thank you for your patience and I apologise in advance for any inconvenience this has caused.

Regards

Correspondence Team

Please pray for me as i have been waiting for 16 weeks and I am getting very stressed!
