yup it does make a difference, because you need a new passport for your wife which would suggest WIFE OF and NOT DAUGHTER OF.. and that can only be done once ID is changed - so bro yup quite importantzmk2 wrote:hi guys,
just wan to ask, does it make a difference if your wife's NADRA ID CARD is in ur name or her fathers name.
thanks for the input - i applied for my wife visa about 3 weeks ago and waiting to hear from them - similar thing happened when she went for the submission - but the sms facility was optional not mandatory and also one more thing - my wife haven't received any update through sms regardless of paying the fee.. i think it's just another way of minting money - patheticRHussain07 wrote:salamz members,
hope your doing well....im still in Pak but have finally submitted the application mash Allah last week...i received alot of knowledge from my forum so i feel an onus on me to give this back
here are some things to note:
WIFE ID CARD
changing wife nadra id card to put my name on it took 8 days. plsopt for the urgent service...its 1000 rupee but worth it.
PASSPORT
passport took 5 days on urgent service. 4000 rupee
TB CENTRE APPT
once i got passport, i immediately rang tb centre as u need the passport numbr to book it...got thru after a couple of occassions and they gave me an appt 3 working days away....u need to deposit the fee in a bank account prior to the appt so make sure u book an appt bearing this in mind....for the isb tb centre, the fee has to be deposited at standard chartered bank located at jinnah supermarket.
GERRYS APPT
i managed to get appt immediately after the tb appt. once u make the appt, u cant change it until its expired. give urself time to do the tb test and deposit the 86,940 fee. u can pay at gerrys if u want at a cost of 200 rupee extra
TB TEST
firstly, the centre is an absolute s***hole. really suprised at location. garage on its left...tea cafe on its right...run down area. wife said inside was nice
tb test was straightforward...only wife allowed to go in tho...PLS NOTE: they issue the certificate 3/4hours after the test so make sure u factor this in and make use of the time. i was fuming as i had nowt to do!
VISA submission
the members who submitted at gerrys isb will agree, this location is another rubbish tip with agents flying about carrying typewriters.plenty of photocopy services available but pls photocopy ur original file BEFOREHAND to avoid stress on the day.
only wife was allowed to go in...she collected a token, waited for her turn...she wasnt offered the 200 sms alert service but she was sold it by default which annoyed me so pls give ur loved one's some cash when they go in.
total time took around 1hr 15mins....if possible, get a early morning time as later it gets busy. the staff dealing with our papers, removed the treasury tag and stapled my original file into 2 sections. the remaining docs in the original file were left loose and all of it was placed into a black bag...the copy file was placed on top of this black bag and the whole thing placed into another larger bag and that was it!! - i found the staple thing unusual becoz no-one on this forum mentioned it but insha ALLAH it should be fine.
thats about it from memory....i8'll stay online over the coming days so any questions can be answered.
there seem to be alot of simple questions being asked...all info is on the gerrys website on appts, numbers etc.
the settlement.pdf document on the gerrys website should not be used as a major guide...the officer didnt follow it when we submitted our case...for example, it says on there to provide a copy of the applicants biodata page of the passport...i did this but they returned it saying no need...(no its stuck on my contents page!!)
regards

I photocopied everything that I could here and sent it together with the originals. I had 5 sections with 1 treasury tag through each section to keep the section together and then 1 treasury tag through half of the total paperwork (keep all the sections together and in order) with another treasury tag towards the end of the first half which I joined through to the end of the second half so it all stays together. It meant punching 2 holes, 1 for the section treasury tag and 1 for the whole thing. I did the same for the copy.
Obviously anything that needs signing will have to be photocopied after it has been signed. I'm probably a control freak but I'd rather do as much of it myself as I can!

May 7, 2010 2:00 AM Int'l shipment release LAHORE PK
May 7, 2010 3:40 AM At local FedEx facility LAHORE PK
Times are GMT scan times. What's annoying is that the destination is 3 hours by car from Lahore and as of yet the papers are still sitting in Lahore. According to http://fedex.com/pk/dropoff/ Lahore offices have Friday off so that's probably why. I rang Lahore at 11pm Pak time to check (4p a minute call services from mobile zindabad) and to my surprise actually got somewhere. I gave them my tracking number and they confirmed my name (so I now know that the tracking system in Pakistan actually works) and they told me that it would be delivered tomorrow. InshaAllah hope so, appointment is on Monday.

I am confused ???????
If you read a little down the thread heres some instructions someone posted earlier. The reference number should be typed as mentioned below:zmk2 wrote:My wife submitted her application on 06/05 . the reference number they gave is not working on tracking, any 1 experiencing the same thing
Sent to British High Commission Islamabad, which is actually overseas here in the UK. So the application will come to the UK to be processed and then returned to Pakistan via Gerrieszmk2 wrote:what does it mean By Islamabad OC

My wife submitted an EEA family permit application on 15/03/2010 but till now she hasn't been called by Gerry's to pick her passport.
I just wanna know if people are still experiencing delays with regards to their application. I know we had some problems in the aviation industry lately due to the ash cloud, but it is over as well.
To be honest the wait is annoying and you can't focus on your life completely.
Maybe some of you can help me with their recent experience with regards to visa applications.
Thank you,
