Can you all please give me some advice especially to those who have travelled to Islamabad airport in the last 2 weeks
My mother and father in law and some of the family members will be coming to pick me up from the airport but I have been told they will have some problems at the airport to collect me as they will not be allowing anyone and all the family members through because of security concerns???
Is this true or will they all be allowed to collect me???
Please Help
Thankyou

This was rejected on the 16/11/09.
Reasons given were that my P60 and payslips were not originals. I supplied them with payslips for x3 months (all online payslips), as I am a contractor. I have been in the same role for 1 year plus. My umbrella company (who pay me after receiving funds from Reed), also stamped each payslip and signed. I supplied a letterhead from Reed and (Umbrella Co) also showing employment. P60 was given to me by Umbrella co (Giant).
I am very disappointed that it has been rejected, and that checks were not made by the ECO with regards to my pay. I supplied 3 months bank statements showing credit over £3k and pay clearly going into account.
The ECO decision continues on the same vein, and includes a line about the financial situation of our household. I live with my mother and 4 brothers. I showed that my brother (younger) is working, and provided letter. I aso showed that he pays Standing order into my account every month, for upkeep of the family home. Not sure why they said this, as my balance and savings (over 3K also) is good. Is it because they think my younger brothers are dependant on me?
Please can you let me know with regards to this. I would like to know my options. Do not want an appeal hearing.
Applied before and was rejected on grounds of my bank balance. Payslips and P60 were accepted last time.
Any advice please?

The disadvantages of getting your marriage registered in UK is:Niqah is a proof of marrige, it is classed as a "religious" ceremony BUT it is not classed a "legal" ceremony -
To be "legally" married (to enjoy the benefits of legal protection) you need to be registered according to UK law. The advantage of this is the husband wife and children would therefore have rights in law as regards pensions, benefits etc, and the children would be regarded as legitimate.
Its worth getting your marrige registered in the UK for the sake of any children you may have in the future - if you dont get registered they will be classed as "illegitimate" children in the eyes of the law!!!
Just something else you should warn your spouses about when they are coming to the UK. It will apply to all Pakistani new arrivalsFrom 30 November 2009, the UK Border Agency is introducing fingerprint checks at the border for passengers with biometric UK visas and entry clearances.
On arrival in the UK, passengers with biometric UK visas and entry clearances will have their fingerprints scanned at border control. In the majority of cases the passenger’s right hand thumb and first finger will be used. These will then be checked against the fingerprints provided in the application process.
The purpose of this check is to verify that the individual entering the UK is the same person who applied for their visa / entry clearance and using fingerprints enables us to do this with greater certainty.
