Still waiting for a decision.....

[Alinakhan]

Anyone know what this means:

“Your processed visa application was received on 01/30/20 (today)”

Has a decision been made or??

Will I receive an email or message to tell me to collect passport?

Partner picking up her passport tomorrow In Sha Allah

That’s great hope both of us get good news inshallah

[Alinakhan]

Hello can I please ask my solicitor have received email from home office to say the passport is ready to collect, and she said she got the email but it doesn’t say name on and she said she have many clients so it could be anyone’s. She told me to tell my husband to go and check if it’s his passport or not. As my husband is in Afghanistan. He have to travel all the way to Islamabad to see if it his or not. Confusing.

You might just have to ring them to confirm.

Your husband biometrics was 1 day after my partners. But am still waiting for decision to be made...hmmmmm

Thanks a lot, I did rang ho they said yes it’s ready to collect, my husband is in Afghanistan, he will send his relative to collect the passport tomorrow inshallah, can I ask what the person need to take, is there any form that he needs to take that authoritarian from the applicant what’s the correct from to sign.

Can’t the passport be collected from Islamabad on weekends??

Thank you so much for all your company and moral support guys. Especially the moderators.

We can finally start our life!

Congratulations Noshr67 and ms1993 and everybody else who have had their visas in Jan.
Is there any update from YazLat? Since you are 20 working days ahead of me.
As of today it is now 131 working days for me  so YazyLat must be on 150+ working days.
I am regularly checking this forum to see if anyone from Mirpur has recently got their visas so that it could give me hope but so far it is Islamabad mainly and Lahore.
Wonder if the Mirpur applications will have to wait until the building re-opens, if it re-opens? 

it is 135 working days and still no sign of anything.

however this morning at 6.42am I received a call from an "Unknown" number and as soon as I answered the call got disconnected.

this has already happened to me twice before where I receive a call from an "Unknown" and "No Caller ID" but as soon as I say hello the call ends.

now could this be the hone office and if it is them wouldn't they actually talk to me to verify that I am who I am.

I mean has this happened to anyone else as well?

Alhumdulillah alhumdulillah alhumdulillah! Visa got approved.
Thanks to Allah first of all, indeed all decisions are from Allah SWT.
As I said before I worked with my brother in his own restaurant. And there was soooo much ups and done but I will make it shorter, we submitted 13 months pay slip and 13 months bank statements, my December 2018 pay was paid in January 2019 but in CASH! As I was going for my wedding, so he paid me in cash.My brother wrote a latter explaining that. And then I was paid Ok till March. But in April tax code changed and my brother didn’t know that he was paying me the same he use to pay me. He realised this after two months, so I was paid £12.88 less in may and June. Bank statements did not match the payslip for these 2 months. And my brother also wrote a latter that it was his mistake. But with the help of Allah SWT. All went well I can’t believe, alhumdulillah.
I send all the company documents that was required from my brother side.

Hey,

How many working days has it been now for you? have you heard anything since the phone call?

Hey, its been 129 working days :/ and nope not heard anything since the phonecall. It's been 5weeks now.
What about you?

[SNK]

Hi,

We received a text and an email on Thursday to collect passport. Went to the centre on Friday. Visa granted alhamdulilah.

90 working days on a priority basis. Decision made 18th feb... 8 weeks after the phone call.

I wouldn’t worry too much if you haven’t heard something yet after your phone call I think the delay may be processing backlogs. Mine took 8 weeks so hopefully you will hear soon aswell.

To anyone still waiting for your responses I wold advise to keep yourself busy and avoid reading too much into the forums. Sometimes they can make you feel some type of way when you really don’t need too. Have sabr and trust Allah’s timing. His plans are faaaar better than anything we can imagine.

Xx

Hi all,
About to submit an online application - pending one document...
I noticed some people had completed their biometrics before scanning documents?

Is it there usually a rule, i.e biometrics after or before scanning documents?

Thanks
