No it's not. While the status changes may represent the same thing, the BHC is NOT an embassy. They are two seperate organisations who do communicate with each other.

I explained this to you yesterday and it seems you didn't bother reading. Why do people come back every day to ask the same question. The answer isn't going to change overnight.

Look guys... a piece of advice.. stop stressing, when your 60 working days are up then contact the embassy... whether your application is currently in BHC / embassy or katmandu.. the embassy will not give you an update until your 60 working days are up..
Think about how many applications they handle everyday esp in pakistan... they are human too.. the more people bothering them the longer it takes for applications to proccess

I can appreciate what you are saying but, none of us really know if all applications are treated the same... worrying will not get you further... not all ppl applying for visas are on this forum, there are probably many others in the same situation as yourself..
