Today I email for my viza status n they reply me...what is mean??
To be honest from all the Visa Application Centres at the moment it seems that Mirpur is the one furthest behind. So i think there will be a long wait for most of us, with the odd few being processed before the 12 week target. but you should be hearing soon inshallah.Nm.123 wrote:what city did you apply from?[/quotealil2014 wrote:Nm.123 wrote:I emailed them last week and i got an email back saying my application is being processed with further checks and enquiries, so today i decided to email them again to get another update and i got response saying its in the queue to be seen by an ECO??!

BHC would still need to carry out further checks on other areas of the application. they can't refuse you on i.e. on the finance side and not carry out checks on other areas because if the applicant appeals, then the courts will only look at the refusal point stated on the refusal letter. Hope it makes sense.Asim khan wrote:Ahmad46001

Make 2 copies of everything you submit. One copy you keep for reference and the other copy plus the original are given to gerry's.
Scanned copies won't work, either with signature and stamp or originals.roger354 wrote:

ONLY SUPPLY ORIGINALS OTHERWISE YOUR APPLICATION WILL MOST CERTAINLY BE REFUSED. You are better off doing everything properly the first time round even if it takes a few weeks extra rather than rushing and being refused over something petty. I would advise you to list your documents here that you will be submitting and then we can hopefully guide you through it.networkers wrote:Scanned copies won't work, either with signature and stamp or originals.roger354 wrote:

Don't use scanned copy, in fact as Ali2014 suggested don't rush and list your documents here along with details what's original / photo copy / scanned copy so you get better suggestion.roger354 wrote:Networker, the copy is already stamped but can she scan it in computer and email me so i can print it because i need it ASAPnetworkers wrote:Scanned copies won't work, either with signature and stamp or originals.roger354 wrote:
