Hi,

Is anybody here waiting for a decision for 10 months or more ? please reply.
Hi

We are still waiting for a response =
we applied 15th March 2018
Biometrics 22nd March 2018, Islamabad

We had a "not straightforward email" July 2018

i have called numerous time and had escalated it twice. the most recent phone call I made for an update was that they told me to wait as i had received the email in July. There is nothing more to do.
I had spoken to my solicitor and they have sent a letter to Sheffield to find out what the delay is and to say it had been the time that it has been.

just waiting now. Hope we all get good news soon.

Irumxox!
Well i m on my 66th day today.. we call them last week n they said ur decision has been made will b informed within 10-15 days. So now waiting n waiting n waiting 😢😢
I rang today to find out what’s happening. They said the case is escalated and can take another 15 days. I’m so frustrated. I don’t understand why they are taking so long in giving the passport back. Did you get a call from HO regarding work??

If a decision has been made you are wasting your time and money contacting them. Wait 1-2 weeks for call to go collect passport.

Sometimes the processing times for Pakistan / Asian subcontinent increases from 3 months to even 9 months. There is always changes in the processing times for these regions. It seems to usually affect Pakistan and Bangladesh more so than India.

Hello All,
just an update biometric done on 19-Feb-2018

still waiting got this email today

We have received an enquiry regarding your application process. We cannot give a time scale for when a decision will be made, however please be assured that we are continuing to work on the application and will make a decision as soon as we are able to.
We appreciate your patience at this time, and will update you as and when we have any additional information.

No idea why it’s taking that long over 8 months.
But hoping for the best in sha allah. I prayer who ever is waiting that long can get a positive response soon too.
