Hi everyone, hope you are all well, n not pulling your hair out

Just wanted to ask if anyone else was having difficulty with the passport tracking website today? i tried to see if by some miracle there was a change but for some reason it keeps saying "Invalid Search"

Hiya gapsick - I've been having the same problem so pleased that you posted - at least I know its not just me!! Hope they fix it soon, its bad enough having to wait without having the added complications of a dodgy website to contend with!

lol, i know what you mean, after reading what people have been saying about Gerry's this doesn't surprise me or instill any great confidence in them...

sajdab · Post by **sajdab** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 7:19 pm

I know - i'd love to complain but I don't know who to complain too. I dont mind waiting (well actually I do mind) but I understand the need to wait -while they check but like u say, without clear information I dont feel confident in their system or processes! Aaaaah!

At least we can vent our frustrations here...

sajdab · Post by **sajdab** » Thu Jul 03, 2008 7:09 am

just checked the site and its still not working..............anyhow decided to be practical and vent my frustration to the powers that be so i've sent an email to a number of gerry's offices this morning. Will let you know if I hear anything

i have had the same problem and i thought i was putting in a wrong reference number

gapsick · Post by **gapsick** » Thu Jul 03, 2008 12:28 pm

yep, i just just checked too, still the same. cool let us know what they have to say, that is if they get back to you...

sajdab · Post by **sajdab** » Thu Jul 03, 2008 7:40 pm

well they didnt get back to me but its working now .......and it still says the same thing!!

gapsick · Post by **gapsick** » Fri Jul 04, 2008 11:44 pm

ye same here,i'm seriously thinking about telling my wife to just go down the VAC and check herself, but she lives 3hrs away, so it's a hassle if the passport isn't back yet....

sajdab · Post by **sajdab** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 2:27 pm

hey guess what , they did get back to me but it was filtered out of my inbox into my junk mail folder so @ least they check their emails! - slightly reassuring??!

Anyhow, I had already clicked delete when I spotted the email (and it was too late to hit cancel or back) so I have no idea what they said!! (Aaaaah!)

My hubby ji is planning on going down to the isb office next week so lets see what they say.....I'll keep u posted but Im assuming it'll be the whole, call back in three days sir ji line which is so annoying!!

IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE REFERENCE NUMBER WHICH YOU USE TO TRACK THE APPLICATION ON THE GERRYS WEBSITE? EACH TIME I TRY IT IT SAYS INVALID SEARCH!!

Two things shameem, firstly, please do not post in block capitals. On the internet that is equivalent to shouting, and on this Board such posts are liable to be deleted without warning.

Secondly, you are a new member here .... welcome ... but no need to post the same question many times. Having posted this I shall now go and delete your duplicate posts.

gapsick · Post by **gapsick** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 12:34 am

sajdab: oh no,lol.never mind i'm sure it wasn't anything too important, probably just to tell you that the website is now working properly or something along those lines. ye let us know what happens with your husband, would help a lot.

shameem: hello and welcome to the forum. are you putting the correct reference number in? which visa application center did you submit your application to? if it was Islamabad the ref number should begin with ISL/.... and so on.
In regards to how long it takes to process an application it seems they're taking about 60 working days. Hope that helps.

shameem · Post by **shameem** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 12:09 pm

60 days, that is a long time. I thought it would be sooner. My husband applied at the Islamabad office. Will try the reference number again.
Thanks.

shameem · Post by **shameem** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 12:39 pm

Have tried that reference number again. Still coming up with invalid reference number. The number starts GRY-PK XXXX. I dont seem to have "ISL" in there anywhere.! Any ideas anyone?

sajdab · Post by **sajdab** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 6:52 pm

Well my hubby ji rang the Isb office and they said call back in 2 days! Part of me is cynical and thinks yeah right and the other part of me thinks maybe, just maybe.......

Shameem - sorry no idea. My other half gave me the ref number. Good luck!

shameem · Post by **shameem** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 9:57 pm

Sajdab Hi. My husband tried to ring the Islamabad office but he couldnt even get through. Think he is going to take a trip down there!. I am gonna keep on trying that reference number though.
How long has it been since your application?
I cant believe how stressie this whole thing is!

sajdab · Post by **sajdab** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 11:00 pm

Hi Shameem,

Yes its a long process!!!!!!

How about you??

hi shameem,

your husband would have been given a receipt after he submitted his application. on the receipt, there will be a ref number beginning with GRY-PK etc, but also another beginning with ISL - you need the tracking number. all the info should b on the receipt. you then need to enter it in the following format:
eg:
ISL/010708/123456/1
isl = islamabad
2nd part = the date that you submitted the application
123456/1 = ref no (should be on the receipt)

Date of birth
