Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[Have faith]

Yh hun ur ryt im so worked up since this rejection
Sweetie it was so silly honestly one employee made a 4 pence mistake on my cheque that was all as if that 4 pence was gna mean i couldn't support my husband its so heart breaking
Your soo sweet thank u so much insallah inshallah rely rely app apreciate ur preys man x

Hun the 4p doesn't mean u can't support ur husband they want to know the papers are correct and not forged that's why even 1p makes a difference to them, don't worry tho everything else for you was perfect so don't worry In'Shaa'Allah this time it won't be an issue for u.

It was meant to happen, maybe this is Allah tallahs will and u never know it was written for u to go and In'Shaa'Allah bring him back with u, how long are you going Pak for?

Sorry to hear about the latest rejections. It's always very hard to deal with that trust me I know. I received an email from my mp that says wait till the end of September you should hear something otherwise if we don't be will chase for us, but I doubt that cos we applied in June 2014 and everyone is saying they are currently processing October 2013???!!

I sent a standard status check email to visa enquiries and recieved an email to send all info so they can escalate the application. So I did and then received no response at all.

Don't know what to believe really just wait and pray bs.

We applied in June too! It's worrying to see they are processing the backlog of last year! I guess we got like 4/6 month wait to receive a decision etc

So far, they haven't been processing visa's chronologically. If they keep following this, according to their record, you'll get an answer at any time within the next 8 months.

However, they have recently stated officially that they are looking at working in chronological order now. If that be the case, you're looking at at least December 2014 before a chance, as nearly all of us from Jan-Apr are still waiting, as well as those who were on hold.


As a side note, when I applied, I wrote a short support letter, and a massive one, in detail.
I also put together all my wage data in a spreadsheet, showing what my total for 6 months comes to (gross and net).
I also left in there my additional business financials (which I did not use in my case), as further income at my disposal.
And on top of this, I left in there my monthly income and expenses sheet, as well as the savings I make per month and in which accounts, and the cash my wife has and the value of gold that she has - gold is a major monetary asset.

If they're honest, they should realise that my 7k in stocks (present value), 4k in extra savings, her 1k in cash, and 7k in gold, is a lot of money for us, ontop of our wages.

I was wondering that they are only looking at those application which were on hold. But what about those caes who met all the requirements but still delayed. I applied on 20th Jan. I have always been advised that my application is not on hold.

are they only looking at hold cases ?

waliekum salam

they can argue why cant your spouse visit you in Pakistan???

[Ket1]

Guys uno on appendix 2 it says have u been employed with th same employer earning the same amount continuously prior to the application wel one of my jobs increas by a a few penny's per hour in July wich my mananger has stated but once i put no for that question it says what was ur wage 12 months before i am fine with putting that but do i have to provide all those payslips thn? It dusnt say but i rather not :/ i still meet th income jus woried that do i have to show thm or just put it down and gt my manager to write it in th letter

[Have faith]

sami3 I have also been waiting since dec 2013 and always been told that my application is not on hold as I meet the financial requirements, I think we have to wait a little longer but can't be much longer In'Shaa'Allah our prayers will be answered soon.

@Ket1 if I was in ur position Hun I would write it as u have been paid pretty much the same wage apart from the increase, the best thing to advise is to contact a solicitor and get some advice if you should attach ur payslips or not, any questions u have ask a solicitor they should be able to give u free advice. I don't actually think u would have to as they only require 6 months payslips from u and if ur previous payslip has a 4p discrepancy then that may be a problem.

Has ur employer not questioned this with the HMRC at all about his name being diff? Could he not get it changed as this would make a difference to ur application, or could he not confirm in a letter that he is aware that the name is diff? If the easier option is to ask him to sign with his name that matched HMRC records that maybe better for u. Hope this helps xx

[Ket1]

Have faith i have been reading an no thank god i dont have to attach more than 6 payslips ane my manager sed he wil ryt what it was then and now regrdless i stil meet th income so inshallah its no problem
And with th last application i didnr attach this hmrc record so we had no idea til now but he can do that as in sign with that nqme or just some of it ryt? Im woried because i dont want thm piling up th speling on th last application? Do thy look at ur old one?

[Have faith]

Ket1 not sure if they look at a previous one Hun as I have only sent the one and pray to Allah tallah they accept this and never ask for anything else again, being positive Hun.

That's good news that u don't have to attach them, phew thank god, and if ur employer states in a letter about the name issue don't think it should be a problem, I attached a HMRC letter with tax codes and also included my contract of employment and companies house letter for my employer which is easy to print, I just thought i would rather be safe and include everything xx

I can only visit for 2, 3 weeks while Visitor visa is for upto six moths, they shouldnt ask this question, when they know there is a purpose of Spouse Visitor Visa. ??

I think its high time that they process in correct chronological order.
Its unfair for someone who applied in June 2014 to get a response before someone who applied in June 2013!

Alot of applications from last year - which were not on hold- which meet all financial requirements are still waiting to be processed.

If the embassy hadn't made this blunder of piling up the backlog, and pre-accessing all the new cases, then no one would be in this long waiting queue today

But im glad, that they are trying to rectify this!


@faz1985ashraf - its interesting to see all the additional info u have submitted.
That would've never crossed my mind as a viable form of financial saving. However, im curious to know how you could actually prove u have £7k worth of gold?
In regards to stock shares, the stock market is always fluctuating - so again, how could this be deemed as an accurate figure.

But never the less.. It was a very clever idea & i pray ur extra effort pays off! In sha Allah

A spouse visitor visa or infact any kind of visitor visas are very strictly assessed to ensure the ECO are satisfied that the visitor will return back to their home country.
As majority of overstayers in the UK all come on a visitor visa & then never go back.

Your spouse will have to satistfy them by assuring them that he/she will be returning to their country of origin.
You can give sufficient proof for this by giving them any of the following information:
- if your spouse own the current residency/home that they are living in pakistan.
- if your spouse has a permanent job in pakistan
- if your spouse is leaving any siblings/family members behind
- if your spouse has any kind of assests in pakistan..
Which the ECO can believe he/she will return for.

If he/she has nothing in pakistan, it will be highly unlikely that they will grant a visiting visa as the chances of them not returning back to their country of origin are very slim.

The only time they might make an exception on all of the above is if their is a family emergency ie. If a relative is critically ill or there has been a death in the family.

This is only my advice.. I hope it helps.
For professional legal Advice - i would advise you to contact a solicitor.

Goodluck!

U should have sold that jewllery ...n had that money in ur bank ..its crystal Clear ..what the criteria is for cash savings.. u cud have been rotating that money in ur bank for the whole year and paid Tax on 19k ..apply as self employed ..show à source ..Easy peasy

[prayforus]

Savings should be cash only. They will never take material assets into consideration to meet the financial threshold.
