Salam, The status doesnt change from forwarded to islamabad to Underprocess at BHC for every1. My status didnt change, It only changed to Ready for collection. There is no point in stressing ur self out on status changes. As they have responded in ur email stating that it doesnt necessary change. P...

Hey zar2009 no one has actually answered the question. They could have just stated if it is under process atleast so we know its been looked at. They just provide the basic info on guide lines and time scales. To be honest half of them dont even read te email properly I guess and just have a reply ...

Thnx corrado I will do that Insha Allah. It would be assuring to know its under process atleast rather than to see passed on to Islamabad on the same day. Zar2009 - where you in Pakisan at time when you handed it in by any chance cos I went with my Mrs to hand it in at Mirpur. Dear K44MYY, I was no...

zar2009 - W/salaam to be honest I have been trying to work that out as majority of other members have had status changed in around 10-15 days after submission date. Its very strange. Anyone else have any views, suggestions why this may be? Seems like im only one who went and handed it in Mirpur lol...

I notice that both you and I have not had our status changed to Under Process at BHC - do you have any ideas why this may be?

Thanks C4_2007 I will check this and confirm. I am pretty sure that the receipt is settlement as my husband sent me an e-mail straight after submission. Gerry's staff need to think before they speak! Maybe the guy in Gerry's had a slip of the tongue? Best way to find out it by checking your receipt:...

When my husband submitted his application at Islamabad, Gerrys told him that the original documents stay in Islamabad UK embassy and that the photocopies and passport are sent to Abu Dhabi?!?!

I am applying for a spouse visa.

I hold a UK Passport and I have a NICOP card which I use to travel to Pakistan, do I need to get this attested and submit this with the application, or will submitting an attested copy of my passport suffice?

Thanks
