I got the emails at early morning around 4 am 15 min gap between them.

Do you know how long it takes for documents to arrive at gerry's Islamabad? Need to alert Wife to be alert for the phone!

Insha'Allah you will get yours very soon Shreen.

I have received 2 emails this morning. One to say application been concluded with the reference number.

Is it good news??

I applied on 7th November so were on to November alhumdulillah :D

Please advise as I literally do not know how to feel after reading the emails
Mashallah thats great news as you have received the email that says concluded and reference number as everyone that has had these emails have been got their passports stamped with the visa. Im also happy that bhc islmd are now processing applications quicker and you got it in under 3 months amazing. also pray for us that our appeal gets overturned before going to court.


InshAllah will keep you all in my prayers as I know how difficult it is waiting after marriage for your partner to come and begin married life

I really hope your appeal is overturned :)

Many congrats to those who have got visas. I can't believe they are still processing October visas from Karachi and Islamabad. Will be interesting to see which city will come after Mirpur in getting November applications processed. Week 14 will be complete on Friday for my wife's application. Please pray for us.

Finally another Karachi applicant! You're only the third person on this forum who has applied from Karachi. The other two are my wife and akhan48. We both gave our applications in October. So far on this forum, the 2 email theory seems to ring true but honestly, you never know. Just wait for the phone call to pick up your docs and check out the passport. Praying you receive good news, seeing rejections on here makes me miserable. I really feel the pain we are all going through. All the best, keep your spirits high :-)
