Thankyou all so much for your lovely dua's.
I just want to say you will all continue to be part of my dua's, each and everyone of you.

Phaara the interview was at the British High Commission in Islamabad.

My husband also told me there were 41 applicants in total. Out of these they asked 3-4 to go home. Rest were all granted visa's. He believes they were sent home bcoz they couldnt speak english.

He also believes that they are clearing their backlog as many ppl there had been waiting for well over 6 months. Over the coming few days I think many of you will be called In Shaa Allah.
It means they are conducting the interviews in BHC Islamabad only And not in the applications centres in other cities?
Applied in lahore on 04/07/2013
Under process 19/07/2013
Got a letter on 27/09/2013 its on hold
Doc submitted 17/10/2013

Well at the moment they are clearing a backlog so I doubt it will always be like this. In the last 2 days over 100 visa's have been issued.

Hubby said the interview lasted 2-3 mins.
The interviewer was an english man. He asked my hubby his Name D.O.B and City where he lives in English.

Then he asked where did you take your English Test.
Hubby replied, ' I took my english test with NTS National Testing Service'.
Where did you do your english course. Hubby replied, ' I didnt need to take any course as I am a graduate and fluent in English, I just booked the test via NTS'.
Did anybody help you with your english test. Replied, ' No I didnt need any help'.
The english smiled and put his thumbs up and said ' well done '.
What is your wifes name.
Congratulations you have got your visa.
please wait while we get your passport ready.
After this hubby waited few hrs.

Ive only had a brief chat with my hubby so if there were any otger questions I will post them later.
The only thing they were really checking is the English Test Certificate.
HUGEE congratulations Musriz!! And the rest of you who have had visas granted mashAllah, the wait has paid off!!

Does anyone know the wait for applicants who applied in February 2014 (i applied in Mirpur if that makes any difference)

Shah512, how long were the savings in the account before you applied. Secondly, where did the savings come from? Did you provide proof of this?

shah512, shouldn't be a problem then. As long as you've had the cash savings for 6 months before you applied. If you showed where the money came from and provided all the necessary documents then it should be clear as day for the ECO.

Where did you apply from?
