Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[tallojani]

Thanx Allah thank you so much finally visa grant after long waiting

Congrats may yu have a happy blessed marraige

[tallojani]

@tallojani

I did provide a lot of communication evidence also i visited my husband twice after my wedding it states that in the handfill form.
The evidence which i provided was whatsapp, viber, emails, my call histroy my husbands call histroy, skype and one flight reservation sheet as when i went to give the case in last month.

As long as you have covered the communication period from when you met till application date then you should be fine. Deen is all we need to please Allah swt, I pray in sha Allah you will have a positive outcome.

Is it necessary to provide communication evidence from when you meet till application date?

I thought 6 months would be sufficient?

there is no set rule for it but it makes sense to submit more especially if you state in form the date from when yu have known your spouse. In my refusal the eco clearly pointed out that i was engaged for 4.5 years but no evidence to prove i had known her all that time. In second application i submittex 6 years worth of communication stuff and alhumdulilah visa was granted in just over 4 months.

May Allah swt shower his blessing upon yu and all of us, in sha Allah yu shud have a poitive outcome.

@Sister, It usually takes 15 to 20 minutes to get the sealed package from their counter after providing the receipt and checking of NIC card. They are not authorised to see the decision, so ideally they should provide you with a sealed envelope which have all your documents along with your passport (with Stamped Visa) INSHA'ALLAH.

[Have faith]

@networkers, ok thank u very much, my husband is leaving in an hour and it takes 4/5 hours to get there so will be expecting him to tell me when he's got there, I'm on edge cant sleep I hope it's a positive response. Remember me in ur Duas please.

LOL at my application - 2.5 weeks back and forth, they can't give me an update pfff...
I've already provided all the below, they still can't find my case now, haha. So incompetent, such ridiculous messups.

I'm gonna royally sue them, I'm just waiting for this to get worse.

I'm wishing to make a poll here soon, against this visa service, so I'll need every visa applicants help on this (I know we all feel the same re the standards). I'll be forwarding that in a case against the Home Offices' treatment of us.

Just spoke to my cousin at BHC...

He said, UKVI cannot have any data except what is on their systems forwarded by your visa processing centre. They have all the emails and phone calls you have made, logged. He said after 5-6 months, your visa status is not available to UKVI on their systems. They must email BHC to put a request in on your behalf about your case, and for that, all the above details are required. He also clarified that their first action is to phone you on the numbers supplied in your application, and if that fails, they will email you on the email you used in the application. Lastly, he said the visas are not processed in one place (I suggested Islamabad), but regionally near your VAC and communication does often break down.

BTW, I record all my phone calls so I have all of what they said to me so far...

Best wishes to Have Faith... and sami, that is unbelievable that you would give a case in like that. I'm so shocked but also saddened for you. The ECO is allowed discretion to ask you for more payslips IF they deem you may stand a chance with the extra evidence... and they usually do, you know. That is very strange.
