I have now been waiting 10 weeks 2 days for my FLR (m) application. Any one else still waiting this long?? I've seen tons of timelines of people that applied way after get their decision quite some time ago. I've called for an update and just received the email stating a decision hasn't been made yet and they can't tell me when it will be. Getting very impatient and I have travel scheduled in the next month! :(

Hey. This means your passport is ready to be collected at designated time. My wife received this too this morning and went and collected her passport. She’s been granted her visa today on 60th day. In fact the date on the letter is 21/05/2019 when the visa was issued but they only informed us today. Oh well! At least it’s done now. So happy. God bless everyone. Good luck
Congratulations MKapadia!!!!
When are the dates on your wifes visa?
My wife also applied at Mumbai North. Today is 86th working day and still nothing. :cry:

Inshallah everything will be fine, apparently my wife’s visa was issued on 21/05/2019 but she only got the text message this morning!! I know it’s a very stressful situation but don’t worry it will all workout in time.

94 working days complete since biometrics and still waiting. It’s been 3 weeks since submitted additional document. And it’s been a week since local MP contacted home Office on our behalf and we are still waiting for UKVI to contact us. This is really killing me.
Any advice please.
Update: Received text from UKVI today on 08/06/19 at 5:11pm India time. The processed visa application for xxxxxxxxx will be delivered to your chosen address.
Fingers crossed I’m so nervous now after long wait for 95 working days received this message today.
Will update you guys soon I get my courier.
Final update: 10/06/19 collected my passport from Bluesart courier. I didn’t receive any call or text from bluedart. I tracked my courier on their website by putting my GWFxxxxxxxxx number.
Visa granted 😍🙏
Letter was dated on 03/06/19
Visa starts from 10/06/19 to 10/07/19

This forum really helped me. I hope who all are waiting for their decision will receive a good new.
God bless you all.
Thank you 🙏

Still waiting a decision.............

Post by FatimaHussainSami » Mon Jun 10, 2019 9:26 pm

Hiya Everyone...
I have applied for my husbands spouse visa and here is our timeline so far...

So we applied first time round for my husband's visa (non priority) from Islamabad in February 2019 however found out on 22nd april 2019 when my husband collected his passport his visa has been refused. Reason stating was; as my mum and dad are directors of the company and we didnt provide them with certain documents needed when applying using a family business or if you work in family business. However my solicitor said these were unnecessary reason to refuse as they could of called us or find all this information online as it is public to home office.

So after refusal we decided its better we reapply instead of appeal as it can take 1.5 years waiting time...

Now i applied for husbands spouse Visa (Priority service) Mirpur Pakistan
Timeline is so far;

9th May 2019: online application started

17th May 2019(Morning): husband submits passport biometrics and scanned papers at VFS office in Mirpur Pakistan (this time we choose Mirpur even thought it was a bit expensive as traveling back and forth to Islamabad was too time consuming and expensive for husband) here at Mirpur husband pays for VIP Service of documentation to be sent infront of the queue inhope to save time.

17th May 2019(Afternoon): husband receive text saying "your Visa application for GWFXXXXXXX was forwarded to UKVI on 5/17/19"

20th May 2019: solicitor sends all original documents and my passport to home office in Sheffield

27th May 2019 is bank holiday so we are not sure if this effects us or not

3rd June 2019: Solicitor is contacted in this week (dont know exact date, but in this week) by home office to say they are sending back all original documents and my passport as not needed and they only needed scanned papers of original documents submitted in pakistan.

10th June 2019: still haven't received anything (email for phone call) from home office regarding our case.
With Priority service we hope to hear by 27th June MAX as 30 working days is waiting period for priority service VISAs. Our solicitor said InshaAllah Maybe we should receive a phone call at work from home office regarding our case and by 4 weeks so, 14th to 17th of june 2019 we should hear a reply as they normally contact back in 4 weeks.

I Pray my husband gets his VISA this time, ameen. And Good luck to everyone else waiting. You are not alone.

Will update this when i get final reply from home office once husband collects passport but i thought i should share my case as it is most recent one on this website (i think lol)

My wife applied on 4th February 2019 and like you my parents are directors of a limited company where i am employed. We also did not provide any documentation regarding the limited company. Can i ask that did UKVI call you or your employer for an interview? I was called 4 weeks ago and was asked questions. I am still waiting for my wife's passport to be returned.
Can you also let me know the exact date of biometrics for the first application? Sorry to ask these questions but it would really help me. :)

Can you also let me know the exact date of biometrics for the first application? Sorry to ask these questions but it would really help me. :)
Hiya, as far as i can remember, when i applied for my husband the first time, we applied on the 6th of feb 2019 (not too sure on this date but definitely before the 9th as my dad came back from pakistan on that date) and my husband then submitted his passport and biometrics in islamabad on the 14th of feb 2019 and the monday following so 18th feb 2019 we sent all our documents to Sheffield.
I got no phone call from the home office and nor did my parents as our business is also a limited company, and my dad and mum are both directors of the company and my dad is working full time at our shop.
Our documents came back around the beginning of the 2nd week of march. Then i recieve an email saying my case is with the ECO and being prepared for consideration. This email i received around 22nd to 23rd of march so towards the end of the third week of march.
My husband received a text on 18th of april 2019 to collect his passport (so around 3 weekz later) and when he collected it on 22nd of April 2019 it was a refusal.
I think in your case you can hope for the best as the home office called you and if they asked you questions regarding the business then maybe you can assume they wont refuse your wifes visa as they clarified their concerns. In my case the home office didnt call whatsoever to clarify any concerns they had and nor did they write to us if they needed more documents even thought my solicitor added a cover letter stating if they need more documents to contact him.
But i pray you get some good news soon. InshaAllah! I can definitely understand how you feel. Have trust in Allah what ever happens, happens for the best 😊

3rd June 2019: Solicitor is contacted in this week (dont know exact date, but in this week) by home office to say they are sending back all original documents and my passport as not needed and they only needed scanned papers of original documents submitted in pakistan.

10th June 2019: still haven't received anything (email for phone call) from home office regarding our case.
With Priority service we hope to hear by 27th June MAX as 30 working days is waiting period for priority service VISAs. Our solicitor said InshaAllah Maybe we should receive a phone call at work from home office regarding our case and by 4 weeks so, 14th to 17th of june 2019 we should hear a reply as they normally contact back in 4 weeks.

I Pray my husband gets his VISA this time, ameen. And Good luck to everyone else waiting. You are not alone.

Will update this when i get final reply from home office once husband collects passport but i thought i should share my case as it is most recent one on this website (i think lol)
My wife applied on 4th February 2019 and like you my parents are directors of a limited company where i am employed. We also did not provide any documentation regarding the limited company. Can i ask that did UKVI call you or your employer for an interview? I was called 4 weeks ago and was asked questions. I am still waiting for my wife's passport to be returned.
Can you also let me know the exact date of biometrics for the first application? Sorry to ask these questions but it would really help me. :)

Hiya, as far as i can remember, when i applied for my husband the first time, we applied on the 6th of feb 2019 (not too sure on this date but definitely before the 9th as my dad came back from pakistan on that date) and my husband then submitted his passport and biometrics in islamabad on the 14th of feb 2019 and the monday following so 18th feb 2019 we sent all our documents to Sheffield.
I got no phone call from the home office and nor did my parents as our business is also a limited company, and my dad and mum are both directors of the company and my dad is working full time at our shop.
Our documents came back around the beginning of the 2nd week of march. Then i recieve an email saying my case is with the ECO and being prepared for consideration. This email i received around 22nd to 23rd of march so towards the end of the third week of march.
My husband received a text on 18th of april 2019 to collect his passport (so around 3 weekz later) and when he collected it on 22nd of April 2019 it was a refusal.
I think in your case you can hope for the best as the home office called you and if they asked you questions regarding the business then maybe you can assume they wont refuse your wifes visa as they clarified their concerns. In my case the home office didnt call whatsoever to clarify any concerns they had and nor did they write to us if they needed more documents even thought my solicitor added a cover letter stating if they need more documents to contact him.
But i pray you get some good news soon. InshaAllah! I can definitely understand how you feel. Have trust in Allah what ever happens, happens for the best 😊

I was refused for the exact same reason, but i worked for my uncles company, and i needed to provided ct600 documents etc, my solicitor also advised me incorrectly and i just provided payslips and bank statements, second time i applied with all the specified limited company documents and have now been accepted visa approved second time, use a good solicitor and make sure you have all the documents required including 12 payslips matching the 12 months company tax period and on going employment, and make sure your english requirement is correct also. Your solicitor sounds really bad if he didn't know the correct english requirement aswell this is what they get paid for ridicilous they are not aware of the financial requirements
Hiya HamzahB786... i was wondering as you mentioned you worked for your uncles company, the first time your visa was refused and second time you was granted your spouse visa... the second time you applied did you do it priority? And did the home office call you at your work place? As i am currently on my second case, like this is the second time i am applying for my husbands spouse visa and was refused the first one for the same reason as you as i work with my mum and dad in our family business which is a limited company and my parents are both directors of the company.
Will much appreciate your help, thanks
