*confused* :?
Just to clarify this is an automated email response and its an old one its not been updated. Unfortunately settlement visas are now not being dealt with at islamabad but now in abu dhabi and take more than 60 working days. The initial process is still done at bhc islamabad then process and decision is in abu dhabi.
