Hi Missy

Im sorry to sound so negative, but I seriously doubt we'll be getting a response this month due to xmas holz :( (Plus the fact that BHC Islamabad seems to be processing applications soooo ridiculously slowly at the moment :x :x )... inshallah maybe next month we'll all get the good news we're hoping for

My Hubby applied from Islamabad on the 26th Nov and was told that he would get an answer in 15 days, but still no news.

I think Islamabad is the worst n slowest vac in pk, as it seems like people applying in karachi n Lahore are getting quicker responses!

My heart goes out to you all who are waiting, as I know how difficult this whole process is.

Do you guys think we can expect a response this month or will have to wait till next year now, when all the holidays are done n dusted with?
Hi, my wife applied on the 27th Nov from the Lahore VAC and we are still waiting. So your not the only one in the same boat. She was also advised by Gerrys to ring back in 15 days time for an update on the application. Problem is no one actually answers the phone at Gerry's. On a number of occasions, I myself have called the BHC Islamabad from the UK to find out whats going on and then only to be put through to the Gerry's line ! its all a vicious circle. No one wants to help. Now we're hoping we'll hear something in the new year. You know there is a saying " No news is good news" so with this in mind we're being positive and all we can do for now is wait.

Did you get his name or direct number, just that you might get someone else on Monday and he might try to blag his way out etc....Everything is computerised, your file is on the computer so he could have checked unless they have restricted access during holidays then again if they were on holiday then what was he doing answering the phone...hmmm

Hi All,

My hubby called Gerry's a few days ago and they just basically told him what it says on the system when we track the passport!!

They said that when his passport is ready for collection, he will get a call and that's it!

Now i'm just going to try and forget all about it till the new year, coz I don't see getting a response before then.:cry:

Inshallah 2009 will commence with good news for us all! :D Ameen

oooy u shud neva hav sent the docs via royal mail... they do not guarantee post...n i heard they take weeks n weeks ... anyway i hope they hav got ur docs. i now need to send my documents pak, am lookin 4 som1 goin pak.

NAZ... get ur MP involved, get things moving FAST... doze idiots r very lazy... keep phoning them.. email them... n fax letters to them- n see if you can get a solicitor to write to them... when did u get married ?

hope very thin works out good for everyone jaldi jaldi

Hi,

If you visit the following website you can track you passport: www.ukvacpk.com. scroll to the bottom of the page where it says track you passport.

Where did u apply from? my hubby applied from islamabad and they said he will receive his passport back in 15 days but is still waiting. It's been a month. So I guess no matter what they say it always takes a good few weeks.

Inshallah we will all get good news.
