few suggestions given by older forum members ... i tried and followed them, and it worked for me.

1. keep writing to AHC and your CO on a regular basis, irrespective of getting a reply.
2. Be Polite in all your communication.
3. After you complete your 5 months, increase the frequency of your communication and it is better if both of you (you and your spouse), write to your CO requesting for status update.
4. Explain your situation and tell them you are waiting for a response to your email query.

Email communication worked for me better than calling up the AHC helpline number.

i hope this helps

... Keep calling them till you get a warm reply ;-)

I called them this morning and got a cold reply too . .

She said " We might get a visa grant at the end of November or early december . . but it could be earlier also" (we applied 1st of June 2011).

Yesterday when my wife called up she got a reply " send your passport to us you are qued for final decision . . estimated time of grant is end of October".

My conclusion is : The phone operators themselves are not sure of the estimated date. Its in the descretion of the Senior Case officers as to the number of Visa's they allow every month.

Frankly WE CANNOT JUMP THE Q. I am welcome if there are ways if any to speeden the process . . . Compassionate grounds is one way for this , but we need evidencing and the whole headace.

Do we have Brokers who can speeden the process . . . ? Anything can happen in India ! (I would not recommend this - its not right and should not be done).

Warm Regards

Guys,

I have got very frustrated email from CO

" your application is currently in progress, and I can confirm that i have received your documents, I get back to you if i need something from your end"

Current processing time is 7month for partner visa.

So i gather from this that can not do much about this only we need to wait and watch , and it will really take more than 6 months at least for may applicants. and if we get earlier it is bonus.

Thanks,

RAJ
