I hear from many people if it says islamabad OC then it is sent it to abu dhabi but that isnt always the case . I think the kharchi once are sented to islamabad and then from islamabad they will decide if the rather have to sent it to abu dhabi or deal with it in islamabad. I submitted it in islamabad

yeah its safe to get both ID card and Passport with urself.
Yes but is there a requirement to have both? Will they not let you take the test if you dont have an ID card and/or passport? It's just that previously I'd heard that you need to have an ID card to sit the test and now I've been told you need a passport too. It also sucks that Pakistanis take agesss making an ID card for you.. :roll:
So I talked to my sis in law and she told me the NADRA office is closed or something thats why they are taking ages about it but she has been told that she will be able to sit the test with just her ID card. Let's hope she gets it in time for her test and then there's the wait for her test results to come back..

Salams,

Sis it makes no difference at all on where you work. It depends on the mood of the ECO, there have been people with strong paperwork that have been refused while others have had weak paperwork; hardly any bank balance and have been granted visa. Its a game of luck to be honest. And job type is just out of the question.

Good luck please remain patient and Allah is with you.

It can take up to 60 working days (12 weeks), please don't give up.. and if you do contact them for an update before the 12 weeks are up they will just give you a standard reply saying to wait until this 3month period is up.

I WAITED 13 WEEKS :? and it was a refusal indeed :cry:

But Alhumdhulila my hubby was granted visa on review when we appealed! :D :D

So guys when you submit please keep patient because sometimes you have to be prepared for the worst, if you lose all your hope and energy at such an early stage (say at 5 weeks of submission) how will you have the strength to get through the whole process.. I was even thinking about going to hearing which would have all taken up to a whole year. So guys this 12 weeks wait is nothing compared to the whole appeal process! Trust me, you need to have hope in Allah swt and be patient!

Allah is the most merciful, Indeed with the patient! :)

Chin up All!!! :wink:
Allah is the greatest!
