I have requested an update on my case twice but both time I get the same reply on 01/06/15 and 19/June/15 (found that there are no current updates. This could be
because your application was submitted recently or the details that you
have provided above are incorrect). Although on my first email on 14/05/15 the reply was it has not been assessed. Just yesterday they have asked my details for escalation so don't know how long it takes. Anyways I pray for everyone to get with spouses.
Quite a few peoples had this update I.e. "no update" near 8th week. Its norm but if they are escalating its good coz u shud hear back soon. I A
Thanks everyone I hope it's a good news for a ll of us

I think you use this website, there should be an email address there somewhere.

The process, I think if they fail to have an uptade for your requests then you can ask them if they could escalate your application so you can have an accurate status of ur application *I Prosume*

Not much results of April yet but I'm guessing they all will be back in a space of short time... .

In shaa Allah s.y.h hopefully you should hear back in good time to do the admission

Thanks for replying Brom. That sounds more like them, I couldn't see them escalating a case early just because someone wanted it! Good luck with your case.

Normal process time for Settlement spousal applications are 12 weeks ... so yes, April people should start getting results back shortly ...

For spouses with Tier 2 sponsor, it is 15 days ...

I agree too, however what is your openion on the below source from Nadra official website:
https://www.nadra.gov.pk/index.php/nicophome
"Who can apply
NICOP is meant for Pakistanis who are working and / or living abroad. ."
NICOP is also a mandatory requirement for Pakistani citizens holding a visa for a country (other than Pakistan) valid for more than Six months
I have also read that NICOP card and Protected paasport is mandatory for anyone from Pakistan who hold Work permit visa but dot not require for the Visit or settlement visa.
On the link provided above it does not say that NICOP is only manadatory for workpermit visa but it says that NICOP card is manadatory for anyone who have visa for any other country longer than 6 month.
Please comments/advice on this
Isn't it the case that you get an initial 3 months visa and get 30 months after arrival.
Nope you get 30-day vignette to arrive in the uk, More likely 3 weeks by the time you get passport back.

Can someone confirm their spouse has arrived without Nicop card?
NICOP is not required for any visa to UK ...

NICOP is required when you are a Pakistani national with a non-pakistani passport living outside Pakistan. That way you don't need visa to visit Pakistan. Otherwise you can still hold a normal ID card even if you are living outside Pakistan. Only thing NICOP does is grant you visa free access to Pakistan.

They aim to clear all applications either way by 4 months at latest, so you should be getting a decision soon.

Adnan bruv in sha Allah ur spouse will get visa, I prayed for you hope for best in this blessed month. Nothing stopping you to send the other docs to BHC by post, atleast you have tried I know some one did that last month via solicitor and got the visa. In sha Allah it will be good news.

Thanks. Well I have just emailed them asking if I could send additional documents, so lets see what they say. If not I guess I could just post them and better still do it through a solicitor, so that it is taken more seriously.

I think I have got about 2 weeks to sort this out before they start to make decisions, and I have been told that if they lack any papers they are likely to reject and ask you to apply again.

I didn't really miss any as I applied under category A, but I realise now I should have applied under category F.

So that means the business financial accounts, tax return and bank statements and my personal wages, bank statements need to be for the same period. I sent the latest financial account that was available at the time, and my personal documents, business bank statements for the tax year just ended. They need to be for the same period, so I need to send new financial accounts, and additional papers to make it for the same period.
