hey u guys good news, yesterday after checking the application progress status on the
http://www.visadropbox.com i was quite excited to find out that it had changed to please come and collect your passport and documents from the fedex office.
It turns out that i got my visa without the need for an interview which is great and i am ecstatic about it.
I have found this website extremely informative and supportive during this tough phase in me life and i am obliged to you all. Thank you everybody.
So yeah in a nutshell. Applied for visa through gerry/fedex from lahore which was sent to british high commission Islalamad on the 19th of Jan 07
on the 14th of March 07 gerry/fedex informed me that my documents have returned and i can collect them when i found out that my passport was stamped and i wasnt called in for an interview.
One thing though.... the visa starting date on the passport is 09 March 2007 WHICH indicates that my visa was processed on the 9th and there was about 5 days delay before it got to me. SO i think we should safely add 10 days into the equation because thats the time it takes them to take the package to the British high commission and bring it back.
