We are worying that visa's might be rejected. We havnt recieve any message from them for quiet long now. Any1 know how long it might take and what its mean 'under the process at BHC'.

Hello kusus,

Am I right in suggesting you are a Polish Nation working and living here in UK?
And that you are married to Filipino?
And that the application filed is for EEA Family Permit?

"Under process at BHC" means under process at The British High Commission.

I would say that it means it's currently under process. Nothing more nothing less.

From a solely technical point it's rather unusual that you would receive that message using BHC

Just from a 'technical' interest perspective, A British High Commission is the name given to an 'Embassy' or Diplomatic representation in British Commonwealth Countries. The name British Embassy is used when that office function is within the capitol city of non-British Commonwealth countries.

Anyway, I guess it means you need to wait more. Usually an EEA Family Permit is decided pretty quickly. Probably 2-4 weeks
However, if indeed it's peak time you could expect a little bit longer.

Perhaps the use of BHC was just an oversight, but again, just out of interest is there any reason you can think of as to why the file would have been sent outside of the Philippines?
