13 weeks complete and no updates for me. We shouldnt even think about the visa yet sjnce people have been waiting 6months. 9 and 13 weeks compared to 6 months is nothing

9 to 13 weeks may be nothing for you but for others it's long time. By the way visas have also been granted for applicants in August which were within the 12 week period.

On another note guys only June Applicants left now after that all applicantions that could have been affected by income will resolved. Then we should be back to normal 12 week waiting times. P.s I know there are people waitng from earlier but Hopefully these should also be resolved soon

thats so upsetting i hope it works out for u sister insha Allah
is it ur first application?

[stillwaiting123]

@ket1 yes it is my first application.. The process took longer because I had to go on maternity leave and then I wanted to wait till I had gone back to work so there was proof that I had gone but then I went to pak and went back to work when I came back then finally put the case on after 1 year 3 months of marriage and when my son was 5 months.. Such a long process it really is enough to make anyone depressed.. Hope everyone gets their visas soon

I don't know why the process is long for the fee we have paid it has really taken a toll on me but I guess that's the same with everyone.. Pray and be patient is all we can do now

it must b so hard for u being on ur own with a baby at the moment i rely sincerely do duwa ur application is accepted quickly
ino i agree i have had to pay this twice now. hope its worth it all x

[stillwaiting123]

@ket1 its so horrible what these rules are doing to people why couldnt they leave them as they were.. Ma sha Allah I can't complain my family are 100% supportive and help out with my son but its not the same my son had everyones support and I just need the support of my hubby and he can't do much over the phone

30 days - 4%
60 days - 14%
90 days - 14%
120 days 19%

Most applications are processed within 60 days.

Number of days to process application
% of applications decided

15 days - 20%
30 days - 80%
60 days - 100%


As is evident the ECO in Pakistan are a lazy bunch of heartless ********* (< insert your own swear). The backlogs was international not just Pakistan. So that the F*** is taking them so long its just shameful.

People have been waiting for so long its unbelievable. But inshallah it will be done soon. Even though we only applied in August and people have been waiting patiently before us. People who applied after us where getting Visas. this is not right.

[akhan4747]

Inshallah they have no one but Allah to answer to for the mental torture they are imposing on us.

ino sister they are so inconsiderate
uno what i totally agree with u i always say u can have ur parents, siblings friends etc but no one can ever fulfil or replace the place of a spouse cuz no other relationship can compare to that
