I have been waiting so long, I just hope Allah Paak makes this my time to be with my spouse. Pls do dua for me I will update when my husband collects passport

Applied 21.08.15
Biometric 24.08.15
Not straightforward email 02.11.15
Processed email today

Hey inshallah u recieved some good news today?

I see u were part of the batch whose applications were put on hild

[Naveed777]

Yes you are right and it may be different for each application as they say they want to verify some documents and depending on how quickly they get them verified. I see your Biometrics day same as mine and sorry for the refusal. Do you mind sharing what was the reason(s) for refusal and have you appealed or planning to reapply..[/quote]
I've reapplied, reason for refusal was financial requirements because I submitted my evidence based on biometric date and everything got messed up because I was using Category A plus savings.[/quote]


Right, good luck this time and hope you hear soon!!

[AAli25]

Asalam o Alikum plz someone tell me what this means

'We are unable to find any record with the given passport no. Please ask
applicant to provide correct passport no. and GWF no.'

I am getting worried now. I mean I went to my local mp and this is what came back. I resend the information and this still came back! Has anyone else got this. Plz let me know as soon as possible
Thanks

@worried1 there are not many people who have experience of the ihs refund, I asked many times too on this forum, just do dua, I kept checking my account after collection email to see if a refund had gone in. Also as it says in the email, when your passport etc reaches the application centre you will be notified, I don't think there's much point going without that as it may be a wasted journey, after process email it can take a week or so, however if you live close to the VAC you can go and check

[worried1]

Received an official delay email "case not straightforward" anybody else who has received such mail.. Can u please detail how long it has taken for you to get ur passport?
Distraught was expecting an email for collection.

hi aadi90 i got delay email 08sept 2015
and still waiting ..

Hi, I also received a not straightforward email and that my application won't be considered in standard time however it was exactly 12 weeks on Monday and today my husband received a collection email. I was also really worried thinking it will take long etc, but it was processed in standard time, don't really understand what they class as not straightforward

Slaam did you get a processed email before collection

I am feeling a little nervous, I have just over 2 weeks left for my 12 weeks, and everytime I ask for an update I get a yet to be processed reply.
Maybe I am just overthinking.

Please do dua for me, as my case was a little different to a normal case.

JazakAllah
