What have you done so far to get in touch with the embassy? What have been the responses?lalolaal wrote:nothing...72 days has been passed.
,,i dont think high commission in islamabad will act after recieving a mail from applicant so sending them any reminder is useless,,,just wait and wait,,,it seems applications under process now a days will take much more longer than 3 months as there are more applications because of recent changes in immigration rules from 9 july 2012,,,,average time for application process was already 3 months in pakistan and in current circumstances more bad luck for pakistani applicants,,,no time limit ,wait wait wait,,Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:What have you done so far to get in touch with the embassy?

It should have, but the UK embassies have never done that, not at the best of times. We had to withdraw one after 2 weeks, for example, and it was in a first world country. Of course you can complain.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Or you can do something about it. Your application should have been processed within one or two days
. Now a well targeted complaint to the right place, that is different... and I found Solvit to be very helpful in that respect.Absolutely. Agree 100%.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:You can be certain that complaining in this forum will get you nothing.
This may be of interest.

Incidentally, I strognly suspect that EEA family permits are in practice being treated as if they were settlement visas (this is not allowed).
