That's very helpful, jazak-Allah.

We were told it 95% of settlement decisions are made within 12 weeks.

We applied March 13th so we're in our 10th week now. Alhamdullilah cases on this forum have been dealt with between 9-12 weeks so I'm praying for the same.

Hi guys,

Just to let you know the processing times for visa can be found on the UKBA website where they update monthly on there processing times from different centers in Pakistan.

However last year between Feb-Dec normally the processing time was 120 working days and now as far as I am aware they have reduce it to 60-90 working days due to less applications.

Also for any of you that want to know about appeal processing times it can take anywhere from 5-10 months before a visa get's issues. If it gets withdrawn or overturned then maybe less.

I hope this information is of help to you.

Have a good day.

Thanks

Hi mate,

Does the time begin from the time they have received your application?

HaroonAli · Post by **HaroonAli** » Thu May 23, 2013 4:24 pm

The time begins from the date the application has been submitted but to let you know that UKBA sometimes do not respond within this timescale. My friends it is upto them they do what they want and currently there service is rubbish.

Thanks

Has anyone applied for their visa in March and heard back from the embassy?

My wife applied in the second week of March and has not heard back. It's been just over 1O weeks.

Also, Sadia786 I noticed your application has now been over 12 weeks. Have you spoken to Gerry's about this?

My husband applied on the 13th March ... Still no news

Applied 07/03/2013 still waiting......

Khanz123 · Post by **Khanz123** » Tue May 28, 2013 10:44 am

My partner applied in March and is still waiting for RFC. We applied 11 weeks ago :

It's been 56 working days.

I've looked over this forum for the last months... February applications were taking 9 weeks, with one exception; the applicant applied at the end of February and recieved a successful visa on exactly 12 weeks.

There was a applicant called Sadia786 who's had just gone over 12 weeks and now she's not posted on the forum. Insha'Allah she will have got her visa.

I'm guessing there are no more March applicants.

Khanz123 · Post by **Khanz123** » Tue May 28, 2013 10:52 am

Munda44 where did you apply from? When did the BHC recieve your application?

Khanz123 · Post by **Khanz123** » Tue May 28, 2013 11:34 am

Kamran130, 12 weeks tomorrow! I don't think there have been any March application decisions yet.

Nail biting times!

munda44 · Post by **munda44** » Tue May 28, 2013 11:35 am

Applied Mirpur: 07/03/13
Application Forwarded to Islamabad OC: 07/03/13
Application Under Process at BHC: 20/03/2013

Im sure Sadia786 got her RFC on 21/05/2013. She posted on another thread. She was unsuccessful, I hope that she is successful in her appeal.

kamran130 · Post by **kamran130** » Tue May 28, 2013 11:56 am

Yes very tense. Btw does my date start from the 6th or 19th March?

Khanz123 · Post by **Khanz123** » Tue May 28, 2013 12:03 pm

It's from the day it was forwarded to Islamabad OC, which was the 6th.

I don't want to build your hopes up but looking at those that applied in the later part of February (3rd week onwards) you should be getting the call/text update tomorrow.

The last few applicants that applied after the 3rd week of February received their RFC's exactly 12 weeks from their initial applications.
