I was refused on 2 counts:

Firstly, not supplying accommodation info. Basically I didnt get a letter from local council inspection - so this time this is supplied.
Secondly, I didnt supply accounts/P60 info to verify my income.

I did cover off both of these points in my original application but they were obviously being very very specific and needed the explicit information as requested.

Not lot I can do, its been extremely frustrating but my missus is going to apply on Monday at Lahore VAC inshallah & I have supplyed everything & extra info this time. Hopefully inshallah this time I will succeed.

Cutesweetgal - you really have got to try & relax. Otherwise your gonna make yourself ill. Theres nothing that you can do at present, but keep yourself positive & inshallah you will get the result you desire. Wish you all the best.

:D

mrsi,,, u should find out the address where they are delivering the passports after process mate because once the website says passport ready for collection then it doesnt matter if u get the call or not. because they sometime try to call ur number, if they can't reach u for some reason then they simply put the file on a side of the desk...

So just find out the place from where smieha's hubby hav got his passport, if u have applied from mirpur also. So if both of u have applied from same location then the delivery centre is i think the old Gerrys office,, smieha knows the exact address i think.

u r just waiting for extra days which u r not supposed to.. :)

Yeah cutesweetgal and mrsi,,, my friend works in karachi vac.

and the website that updates the status is not being feeded by bhc itself but its feeded by gerrys staff. They have allocated the job to a guy who pickup every singal application and enter the computer number to the database and change the selection to 'Passport ready for collection'

then there is another guy who is responsible for giving calls to the numbers on the application pack. So the reality is that almost 70% of the people donot check there status online,, so day by day lots of application get stacked up and some of the people shut there mobiles off or other things happens so they leave some unreachable application in a log,, thinking that the applicant will contact by himself.

mrsi,, if thats the address of the old fedex gerrys office then what i can get from previous post of smieha as she said thay called her husband at the old gerrys office. Just say yeah we have got call, otherwise they are very lazy they don't even bother to actually check sometime.

Iam 101% sure that if ur application status says on the net that the passport is ready for collection then off course it is ready for collection at the collection, so go and get it, i bet u will get it.

Wish u both Good Luck and Inshah Allah success will be urs.

REINTRODUCTION OF VISA SERVICE

Following a review of security at the UK Visa Application Centres (VACs), the British High Commission is pleased to announce that Gerry's International are re-opening the Karachi VAC on 8 October. Gerry's International are also aiming to re-open their Lahore VAC on 13 October.

With immediate effect, anyone wishing to apply for a UK visa should contact the call-centre (0900 10411 from a landline or 8865 from a mobile) in order to make an appointment at their nearest VAC. Access to the VACs is restricted to those with appointments only, anyone arriving at the VACs without an appointment will be turned away.

The Islamabad and Mirpur VACs remain closed pending security upgrades. The British High Commission will announce re-opening dates as soon as possible.

Applicants will be contacted directly with instructions for passport collection on completion of the application process.
