Saby: It is a 'KHI/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/x' no. & DOB to enter on the website...it used to give me an invalid search error also when i used to enter the 'GRY-PK-XX-xxxxxx-x' no....this was the reference no. which they used to use... but the lady on the GERRYs helpline told me that this has changed...& v need to enter the 'KHI/...' no. instead of the 'GRY-PK...' no.

Whatever wrote:Hi,
My status is the same. I called the BHC as well as Gerrys's, they both said that we can only tell you that the application is in process...& not at which stage your application is [:-)]...I had requested them to please expedite since i need the passport for travel needs (which i really do)...but no positive answer...dont know what to do...m kinda desparate at this point...
The Gerry's guy also told me that the applicant's educational documents go to HEC for verification & that may take time...
Immaad: in your friend's case...it might raise an eyebrow...if i was in his shoes i would get my higher education documents verified from HEC..before submitting...
hxxp://www.hec.gov.pk/new/QualityAssurance/Deg ... rvices.htm (replace x with t)
he also should get a UK NARIC equivalence letter for his bachelors & masters degrees...to strenghten his case...
hxxp://www.naric.org.uk/index.asp?page=20
he should also submit english translation of NIC with the same spelling of the name as on the passport...
The legal spelling of the name is the spelling on the passport...i think they match it with the rest of the documents...n if this is not the same...your friend should mention this in the 'additional information' section of the form & also the cover letter....
because even if a letter is different in name...it means a different person...for example...'yasir' & 'yaser' are 2 different people...even though the name sounds the same...n in this case its an additional word...'khan'
I think..the BHC guys are extra careful..because people may submit fake documents...so he should go the extra mile to prove that all his documents are genuine (& are his) & the person on the pasport is the same as on the educational documents...
