Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[shfh7815]

BHC ....just says processed on the update....how quickly do they give a refund?[/quote]

@tehmina I didn't get that refund email either..are u positive about that??
@shfh7815 sis same here..i was expecting some call today but they r seriously taking too long..my 7 working days are completed today after processed update..i will call UKVI tomorrow in shaa Allah..but i hope n i wish to get a call tomorrow[/quote]

I would go in tomorrow morning, coz my wife went in yesterday morning they said it hadn't arrived by lunchtime she got the text[/quote]

Tbh I don't think they even check if the application is back..all they want to know is if u got a text...even if the application is infront of their face

Congrats. Mrs got the call from Mirpur Gerry's today, she's going in tomorrow to pick it up. So nervous

[sajjaduk]

I will be remembering everyone in my duas 
I'm off the page for a short while due to health reason
Wishing everyone best of luck and mubarak in advance to all those who get the email and visa granted 
In Shaa Allah

[tehmina]

From last two months ,all those got processed email from BHC and no emails about refund were successful.
All those who were denied unfortunately received refund email before processed email.
So keeping this scenario in place you should remain positive.about text from Gerry and no email from BHC I have no idea.

[sheikh31040]

HI guys,

congrats to everyone who has got their visa

just a q , i sent an email regarding update of my applications and they replied :


""We understand that you would like to know about the current status of your
visa application. I have tracked the status (GWF******** and date of
birth **/**/****) and found it is yet to be assessed by an Entry Clearance
Officer (ECO). Your visa application centre or the entry clearance officer
(ECO) will contact you once a decision has been made or, if necessary,
during the consideration of your application.""[/i]

Can someone let me know whether this means that an officer has not even looked at it , meaning it will take weeks not days for it to be processed? my biometrics were done in lahore on 27/5/15

Please clarify

Thanks

Till last week my application was yet to be assessed by the eco too. I emailed them yday and they replied today saying my application had been processed and a decision has been made. So email them in a few days and let us know

[Az7980]

I dont know how it works but i imagine that one should be receiving a NHS refund mail as soon as the decision is taken on their appljcation. They should not wait to let you know till you open the envelope because who knows how many days have lapsed since the decision and i remember their is a time limit for an appeal. This is how i look at it but who knows how the BHC works.

Agreements and disagreements are welcome.

[Mrsain]

My wife has told me they have a family friend who submitted his case at Mirpur around 2 weeks before Ramadan so which would be roughly say beginning of June. Apparently he got his visa a few days ago.

So I'm not sure how it works some of you guys are still waiting since March/April/May and this guys has got his visa in 8 weeks.

May Allah SWT make it easy for us all and reunite us with our loved ones as soon as possible
In Shaa Allah....Ameen.

[Aleena97]

meaning you emailed the ukvi helpline and got a reply from them or BHC?

[Aleena97]

All those who got processed email but didn't get refund email about nhs surcharge should remain positive.

I didn't really get a processed email from BHC ....just says processed on the update....how quickly do they give a refund?

@tehmina I didn't get that refund email either..are u positive about that??
@shfh7815 sis same here..i was expecting some call today but they r seriously taking too long..my 7 working days are completed today after processed update..i will call UKVI tomorrow in shaa Allah..but i hope n i wish to get a call tomorrow

Mrs Fakhar have u tried contacting the gerrys office directly ? You should call them firstly as by now it should be there . If not definitely escalate the matter cuz it shouldn't take more then 7 working days.

[mzraxal]

I have been refunded my NHS Surcharge back into my back account, but have not received any email or reason why....Does anyone know why this should happen....I have been advised to pay again or should I wait?...Also the new rules state I cant pay online anymore.

Have u asked for an update and what's your timeline?
It's best to wait until u hear from the embassy before u try to pay again

Does anyone have Gerry mirpur number and best time to ring?

I will call them tomorrow again..
