91 working days today if I minus the weekends and 4 bank holidays (New Years Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday and early May bank holiday). He has not been contacted for anything. Makes it look like 3 months when in fact it's been 5 1/2... Depressing really :( Feels like forever giving that I've been married over 2 years. Going to see hubby in a week. Having to go to Pakistan AGAIN seeing as they've been holding his passport for soooo long, restricting us being able to go on holiday elsewhere.

A decision in an application has been delayed whilst further enquiries are conducted. Your visa application centre will contact you when it is ready. There are some issues in your country at the moment,

Indeed Casa, I told people on this thread before to stop typing in Urdu, continuing will just end up with them being banned.

We didn't apply online, that's for new applications,
I asked my husband to look for gwf number, but he said there wasn't one. Would u be able to tell me where it might be written? I don't know what he received after he submitted application!?!?!

They will have provided your husband with one. Are you not able to ask him to check all the paperwork from when he submitted the application. He should have all the references

Recently a lot of people's applications on this forum have remained on hold but some have been granted the visas. Usually 2 - 2 1/2 months after submitting additional docs. But with the supposed "issues" that are happening in the country as per the response someone got. Only Allah knows how long they're gonna take.

Looking back at previous posts there were people on here who got RFC collection after 10 days of submitting further documents and they were granted visas.

Also there was someone else who got visa after 7-8 weeks of submitting documents and they were granted visa. Therefore i advise that you email them after 2 months for an update.

To Sophia20

The GWF number is sent to email address that is used when completing form online. After submitting form online you should have received an email stating GWF number.

The email headed subject should be "Visa4UK - Completed Application" (read this email, your GWF number should be there)

Hope this helps.
