[sajidmahmood]

We have received a letter from the UK Visa Section about Respondent withdrawing appearl. I read two other posts where their letter said "decision should be overturned and the visa issued" our letter just says "decision should be reviewed". does this mean we have less chance of getting the visa?



Our Ref:
VAC Ref:
Passport number(s)
Applicants Address:
Tel/mob no.

Hi i think maybe its just different wording, cos it sounds like there just going to re-look at the decission they made which is what they must do on every appeal i think? when did you submitt your appeal?

I don't think thats right becuase we will have to appeal again incase they decide to refuse which means an extra couple months of wait before appearing in the court!

[dilseabbassi]

Really? so has it taken them all this time just to send that letter about it being reviewd?

[dilseabbassi]

Ah sorry i think i got confused about ur actual appeal, im just trying to get some idea of what im in for as were just about to make an appeal also...

[Shadow86]

Aaah that sucks man!!!

If the guys are going to review it then JUST REVIEW it! Why annoy the appealants for by sending such letter like that for!

Arghhhhh i'd be irate if I got such a nonsense letter like that after 2 months! 2 months ke liye cham cham kar rahe thay kya offices mein?????

If i'm not mistaken, passport should be submitted if you have the decision overturned. What if the person who wrote the letter made a mistake? Because 99% of the wording looks like a letter to let you know that the decision is being overturned and in that case they ask you to submit your passports.

Compare your letter with the one below which tasawar received

Any big differences or is it just that one keyword "reviewed" that is perhaps written there by mistake???

Edit: oh yes I see it says overturned AND THE VISA ISSUED ECO's doing the cham cham nach di phirra

^^ NICEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! Congratulations Haseeb!!!

Speaking of the name Haseeb, my dad's nephew's wife and son both got their visa today also.

Whilst my wife submitted on 7th Sep, they submitted on 3rd Sep.

The son's name is also Haseeb what a co-incidence, but he's only about 6 years old .

On another note, thought i'd ask here to get a response from majority (hopefully), I have just received my TAX PAYE Coding Notice today and want to know whether it is worth sending it off to Pak or not considering the holidays coming up and I have little time for it to reach to her by 31 Dec? Would scanning it and emailing it to her and she print it out be alright?

[Yas2010]

Just want to know what are the timing that they can txt u 2 pick ur passport when, is it

uk time 3am-1pm

thanks bro may Allah solve your problem also . this forum has given me so much advice and mental support and yes tech help also i must thank all of ppl here and pray there visa b gruanted asap.

if she is appealing against the refusal from pak than yes but posting i wont recommend. best if sum one coming over to pak ur family member give it to them . if not i am not sure if scan print will work as they want documents all original or certified copy from the department it belong to i guess and reason for giving copy .if u want to post its busy holiday season best to use DHL OR tcs service. my wife sent me so many cards and gifts i only received pain killers over last 3 months av been here in pak !!

[Yas2010]

So maybe we might hear something in the morning, since the office's are going to open up. If not, then it will be sum time in the new-year.

Hoping to go pick my wife up, if she gets the visa, if not then do the appeal and take some time off work and go to Pakistan for 3 months. Since my brother is preparing to get married.

Have you heard anything yet

[ImranOne]
