Thanks to everyone who wished me well...miyash insha allah u will hear good news soon...u are all in my prayers...each n everyone of u...may allah ease ur problems and unite u with loved ones....i know how hard it is....if any of u have any questions or need advice il do the best i can to help u
thankyou for your prayers.i want to ask u if that was your first application.?and were there any complicated thing that H.O took this much time to conclude..
It was 2nd application...1st one was refused due to financial requirement...i did recieve not straight forward email in march but i dont know why that was or why they've took soo long to make a decision....maybe bcoz I've been refused before...i was starting to get very worried but a long wait doesn't necessarily mean the visa will be refused or theres a problem
Mine is 1st time application and still awiating decision, they said it’s bank statment missing which I re provided in May. Got email end of July final stage and still no response. Just waiting patiently and making dua. No idea why it’s takin this long :(
Hopefully will be a good outcome...once they see the statememt lets hope they will be satisfied...maybe thats all they needed...mine took 9 months nearly n outcome was good so dont lose hope...sometimes they are just very busy

Why not just search for the users posts instead of asking for repetitive details to be posted.
