U need to submit a valid tb certificate not an expired one along with her passport. She'd need to take her nadra ID with her too, I am not sure if copy of your passport is needed or not maybe some one els can confirm.
Btw when was she granted visa

You put down " As soon as visa is issued". She then has 3 months from that date to fly into UK which will assist her next part of application..... the ILR in 2yrs time

Hi

My husband submitted his passport on the 25th April 2012 after our appeal was allowed and had received our call letter. Its been over a month and still 'under process'..does it normally take this long? i was told that it would only take a couple of weeks. I have emailed them, but all they say is that 'its under process.

please help...is there any other number/email i can contact?

Thanks

We applied from islamabad. Its really worrying me, as to why its taking this long. When i phoned phone gerrys call centre they told me, theres no time limit.

It seems unfair that:
a) we had to wait for this long just to get the passport stamped
B) they cant provide any time frame.

Any advise will be much appreciated.

but all is well if it ends well, so my wife has booked PIA tickets today and is coming next friday, i am going to pick her up from the airport, i am so excited i can barely contain myself

alham praise and glory be to Allah swt who has been very kind and given us patience, we can finally now get on with our lives
