Hi arahimpk.

I applied on WP basis from Khi, on 22 May, got varification call on 17th June and visa issued on 18 June, but passport returned to me on 2nd July.

I asked on 2nd July on call center they replied that your passport returned where as web site was telling same old story.

I dont know the reason to delay i return of passport? Strange isnt it?

Usualy; visa issued after day or two of varification, but as per experiance return to applicant taking longer then usual time at Gerry`s end.

Hope answer the question.

If your application submit date has covered comlete 4 week time in waiting then it is worth to visit Gerry`s office to see if passport is returned?

I noticed there were several exampes in which passport was returned. Take your chances.

@arahimpk

1. For accommodation letter; My employer sent me hotel booking for one month, which I submit with my EC application and clerly explained about accommodation arrangment made by my employer in covering letter.

2. My employer is world known company and they are known by every UK person, although contact detailed were mentioned in job offer letter, but they didnt contact my employer, as per my knowledge.
