reasonable delay for procedural reasons will be legal, unreasonable delays will constitute harassment. there cannot be one time limit for one embassy and another for another embassy to coomply with court judgements.t_kaay wrote:the email address you need for islamabad is:
visqry.islamabad@fco.gov.uk
they wont deal with faxes

with all respect to vinay, the advice he has given won't really help you. the ait are not involved with the case anymore, as their involvement stops as soon as the determinations go out. from personal experience i know that islamabad are very busy and the determinations go into a queue to await being dealt with. also, it is no good asking your relative to go to islamabad without prior appointment as they do not accept visitors without prior appointment. besides which, the applications are dealt with via gerrys fedex in pakistan.
you need to email the embassy, wait a few days for a reply and after that your sister will need to wait for a call/letter asking for her passport to be sent via gerrys.
no need to worry, you said 32 days since you got determination. i was told it takes about a month on average for islamabad to act on it once they get it. (remember they dont work weekends).
i'm sure you will hear within the next 2 weeks

gollywood, i am sure you will be on here in the next two weeks, saying visa has been issued. don't be worried or alarmed at the wait. it is NORMAL.

it will be an option to consider using if things drag on 4 a while and is for unreasonable lengths.
u can see many hsmps etc who won in tribunals hanging around in limbo for months even after winning ait cases. this limbo period affects people health badly. no one deserves to be in such a situation even after winning ait cases. only the people affected know the troubles they undergo because of the long delays
i only mentioned it so that people read up on that option if it suits their situation. i was just increasing awareness. initially people never used thisin employment tribunals, but then after test cases in this matter, it is becoming more frequent in employment matters as can be seen from high profile cases. so no reason why the same cant be extrapolated to ait or others cases as well
