Initial Application Sent

Post by nabsha » Sat Mar 15, 2008 2:55 pm

Salaam All,

After all the ambiguities and confusion, I finally completed my HSMP application, Thanks to this forum and most of all JAMI, majic, AANWAR and others.

Now the only thing that can help succeed my application are your prayers. So kindly do remember in your prayers.

I sent my documents via DHL and it costed 2860/- as the package was slightly over 0.5 Kg. The office is near Aabpaara Market and it is not listed on the DHL website.

Please remember in your prayers.

Thanks Again,

Regards,
-Nabsha

Shah,
You can use your friend's credit card, who can be any where in the world, to pay hsmp fee. And then you can pay off your friend in cash.
I am not sure about the postal order process.

Best of luck!!!

yeah - check on it as all HSMP documents are recieved at IMO Islamabad first and then distributed across the country - mine was at ISB on 9th April (Sent on 4th Apr) - so you can judge the timeline here.
