I want to ask how does it sound when they say application has been processed? Is that mean decision is already made? Or they are about to make decision on it? Any idea how long it will take to get my paperwork after their such statement? I am little excited do not know what will happen. Pray for me guiez.

Ive just spent 4 weeks in Chaotic Pakistan, its far from luxury! yes the houses are big...........but so are the dam mosquitos, flies,wasps,spiders lol.Then you have the rediculous heat and crappy power outages. Then when you go out, you have the absolutely aweful infrastructure, crap roads,chaotic driving, bleedin rude men who stare at your wife at every opportunity, corruption etc etc

It not even that cheap over there now, dont get me wrong, pakistan is great once you learn to get over the crap, but that takes along time as theres so much of it, even if you are well educated, jobs in reality dont pay all that much.

Englands so much better for normal folk.But if its all you know then its home and you love the place no matter what, just like i love England!!!

My last word on this topic!

We brits look at pak with rose tinted specs, we go there for a few weeks with muchos quids in our pocket thats why we think its awesome!

If we look at it with sensible eyes, pak is just as expensive as here, fuel is dear, food isnt all that cheap, you pay alot for electric and you dont get any! gas bottles are expensive.To top it off, you cant earn much unless you really are a top dog in your profession, for example, my friend over there is a geologist, and he gets 2laks per months, which aint bad, but he's pretty much top draw in his field, i was earning more than that 10 years ago as a graduate.

So all in all long term living, england is by far the better.Pak is great for a few weeks holiday and to visit old relatives!
