Salaams brother.

This statement gives me a sense of relief. We did not provide any evidence of this nature except for phone cards and even then a few. 3 or 4 at best in a 11 month period then again people do use them sparingly.

We too have provided wedding photos and a video plus a certificate to prove it's all legitimate.

Hi,

Can I also confirm that when they say 90 working days from Lahore.

Is it from 90 working days from the application date or the date it got to the BHC?

I was here an year ago to check the waiting timing for ILR.Now I am here to check the spouse visa timings:

My wife applied timings are,

Date applied: 22 /07/2013
Status. Application forwarded to OC Islamabad 7/22/2013

I have also observed that all settlement cases comes to Sheffield -UK fir verifiction. It can be confirmed by issue place of visa of successful applicant.

It also depends if the spouse applicant is hasband or wife. They might be more keen to check if its forced marriage in case of main applicant being

husband.

Has anybidy applied in June 2013 ?

I don't understand when you mention Sheffield ? Please explain what does this mean? What happens in Sheffield?
Hi,

All the ILR and settlement spouse dcouments comes to UK . I have read it on the UK border agency website and will try to give a link here as well. They have different officed across UK and sheffield is on of them. Thats is why I have requested to any of the successful applicant to check the visa , where it has been issued from ?

as per my understanding they dont entertain calling cards as proof ...
skype/facebook/viber/whatsapp/emails screenshots should suffice

and itemized bills of mobile.. pictures ...

Then Insha Allah you must be having a positive response in the coming week. Most of the people who applied in that week & week after already received their passports this week.

You case might be randomnly taken for verification checks.

I was on student visa and did not apply for spouse visa in uk but i had a fight with someone so i jail for 14 months thats why i been deported but its doesn't matter. even i can stay over there but i have to come back due to some reasons then i apply from here so all the immigration matters handle by my solicitor. As ur husband visa is expired its been overstay and 320(7b) automatically force on him but on spouse visa there is no ban may be its take little bit time more but doesn't matter. so no worry.

Oh Ok,

So you are british and your husband will join you back in uk. No it should be ok if he has a clean stay in UK. Rather it's good if you you have submitted your relation proof (pics, emails, chat) even before getting married, if you both were known to eachother.....
