Thank you Lucapooka

That is a big relief.

Hi My husband has been living here with me since November 2010 and we plan to apply for his ILR at the end of 2012. His Father has recently been diagnosed with cancer and he needs to travel back to Pakistan to look after his Mother & his Fathers business affairs. The problem is he may be gone for ...

Hi All My husband is Pakistani and we married there in 2009. Once he has his UK visa he will be joining me here. We've not had a honeymoon yet & I have my heart set on Las Vegas next May or June. I can use the visa waiver programme but with him being Pakistani he is not eligable and will have to ...

Hi This forum has been a Great source of information over the last few months but can somebody clarify something for me? My husband won his appeal back in April, finally got his call letter in August and submitted his passport to Gerry's in Lahore on 22nd September. My question is does his passport ...

I'm in total agreement with most of the comments on this thread. I'm a white British woman and waiting for my Pakistani husband to have his passport stamped then he can finally join me here. I'm very ashamed sometimes of the way my countrymen and women react to immigration. Immigrants should be ...

Hi ccyrex I see you first applied 3 months before my husband so I understand your frustration. The waiting times are so long at the moment because I think so many people are hoping to get their visas before the rules change and the english tests are introduced. I wish you well and hope you receive ...

We used the IAS in Peterborough for my Husbands appeal and they were excellent.

They definately helped us win and if I had any quesitons they were really nice and willing to help.

I would recommend them to everybody.

Good Luck.

Hi sunnyboy786 My husband won his appeal in April and didn't get his call letter until 19 weeks later in August. He handed his passport in to Gerrys yesterday and if he gets his passport back in 12 weeks as they advise it will be 15 months from lodging the appeal to him getting his visa. It a long ...

Hi All My husband is handing his passport into Gerrys tomorrow for his visa as we won our appeal. I understad it is likely the UKBA will contact my employer. Does anybody know what kind of information they will be requesting? I don't really speak about my private life at work so was just wondering ...

Hi searching

Yes the judge in our case reserved descison so we had to wait 19 days wondering if he would determine in our favour.

Luckily he did and I hope you will be fortunate too.

Nice one Scan me.

My husband has got his appointment with Gerrys on Wednesday so we are a couple of days behind you.

Just out of curiosity did they ask you anything you were not expecting?

I hope you get your stamped passport back very soon because I know you have waited a long time like us.

Hi searching

My husband's determination came through after 19 days but the paperwork was dated on day 14.

I've heard some people have got their determinations within 10 days so it depends on your luck.

Good Luck to you.

Hi SHAHZAD1204 My husband first applied back in June 2009 and was rejecxted in August. We appealed in September 2009 and heard in February 2010 that his appeal was in April. We were told at the time that a 6 - 7 month wait for an appeal was fast. He will hand his passport into Gerry's next week and ...

Hi ccyrex

The time to receive the call letter can vary a lot.

Some people wait just 2 weeks but my husband had to wait 19 weeks after the appeal determination had been sent.

It really depends how lucky you are.

I hope you receive it soon but if it takes time people on this forum are a Great help.

Hi Scan me

I haven't seen the letter yet so I don't know what it says.

My husband has got an appointment at Gerry's on 22nd September.

I will let you know when I know more about what documents have been asked for.

Hi Everybody

I just thought I would let you know my husband has got his call letter and will be calling Gerry's for an appointment tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help and I hope this is the final few weeks of waiting now.

I really hope he can be here before the end of the year.

Hi Scan_me

I'm really pleased that the call letter has finally arrived.

Keep us informed of your progress.

Hi Scan_me

I'm doing OK thanks.

I hope you receive a reply soon just nay kind of response is good and lets you know the process is moving.

I will pray for you and will continue to keep you posted on our progress.

Best wishes to everybody waiting for appeals and call letters
