I called vac in Islamabad last week and asked them about the application. He was furious, why I was worrying so much. He told me, it takes time and there is delay.
I hope he is wrong.
I read about the delays on
www.ukvacpk.com :
11 May 2009: Important advice to customers about UK visa application process delays. Customers, please note that there are currently significant delays in the UK visa application process. You are advised to apply for your visa well in advance of the intended date of travel. The delays are due to the high volume of customers making appointments at the visa application centres (please refer to the update of 27 April regarding appointment bookings) and to technical difficulties affecting the UK's global visa operation, which UK Visa Services are working to resolve. At the moment please allow approximately 7 weeks from the time you make a request for an appointment to collecting your visa decision. UK Visa Services apologise to customers for the inconvenience,
and confirm they are working to reduce these delays.
