Hello All,

Just a quick question, I have read on some persons timelines the status of 'Initial preassessment and online verification conducted' is this received through a status request or does BHC send an email automatically?

Hello daddoo, i received the same email on 11th february from islamvisainfo@fco.co.uk and on 9th march my visa was stamped, long as your paperwork is legit and you pay your taxes you will be alright, it can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks.

Hey sean, the only emails you ill get from BHC are the documents received email and at the end when your visa is processed and inshallah granted they will send you one email saying your visa has been processed.
you can get all these other updates by emailimg them through their website by providing gwf number date of birth etc of applicant, hope this helps.
EDIT: this is why salma123aslam got rejected
wage amount does not match bank payment. Wage was £302.25 got paid £302.7

Thanks for the reply roger354. Blimey for that much of a difference they rejected a visa. I am stressed now, as I am the same boat, our company pays by Standing Order which is a fixed amount and the accounting software can occasionally calculate a different net amount depending on the tax paid for that week by about +/- 20p :( :( :(
