Dear Madam,



Thank you for your email. We have checked your husband’s application status which is still under process at the British High Commission. We do realize your concern. Kindly note that we at Gerry’s have no access to any visa applications process time and duration. They are assessed individually and process time may vary from applicant to applicant. We will only be able to arrange collection when we are in possession of the passport. You may also send your email directly to visaenquiries.islamabad@fco.gov.uk for further assistance on this.



As per UKBA currently Delays in making decisions on applications to live permanently in the UK (‘settlement applications’). Our global customer service standard for settlement applications is to make decisions on most applications within 12 weeks and all applications within 24 weeks. Please note that due to a significant increase in the number of applications being received, we are currently experiencing a delay in making decisions on settlement applications. We are still making decisions on most applications within 12 weeks, but many applications are taking longer to resolve, which means that it may take up to 24 weeks for a decision to be made. We are working hard to minimize the impact on customers, and apologize for any inconvenience.



We appreciate your understanding and trust in our services

NO more trust on your services Gerry's Pakistan :twisted:[/quot]

I know it's so true they should just get rid of the backlog by giving us our visas inshallah next week is new week but the quicker April applicants get the visa it will b better for us may ppl too as the ball will be rolling seems things have gone slow again and ur right ukba wrote on website if any delays will update online but nope that ain't happened so as far as we r concerned there should be no delays

I just dua that inshallah after all this wait we get our visas inshallah

Such a lonnnnnggg process.. It's difficult because no one can understand the situation like you can .. Everyone says dont worry inshallah will all be fine but only the people in the situation know how it feels to be separated for such a long period.. Even 1 day is difficult never mind the 12 weeks plus

Good luck to everyone awaiting RFCs
Inshallah will be positive for everyone :-)

All settlement cases are dealt in ISB/DUBAI

it does not matter where you submitted it. Each individual case takes own time and depend if your ECO is a lazy bum or an active guy lol.. and how much he likes to go into details of things.
