we actually did email Gerry's also to ask for an update, they said that they couldn't help as they only manage the paperwork, sending and receiving it to the BHC.

they then gave us another email address and we have emailed them but haven't received any response... I think it's all dependant on luck!

My 3 months elapsed on 20th March 2013, when I emailed them, I got a reply few days later saying that they will be forwarding my email to the relevant department. It has now been over a week and have still not heard anything from anyone..

What is Gerry's email address??

Post by atifakhan » Fri Jun 28, 2013 2:17 pm

When time is over 12 weeks and one decides to email Gerry Islamabad, what is the correct email that one can email to?? Please help as there seems to be more than one email people are emailing to. Confused..

On the status of rfc it says we can pick up between mon-fri. We got a call few minutes after status changed to say that although your status says min-fri, we are closed on Monday, you can collect on Tuesday. I have looked on website, there is no official holiday to say Monday Gerry is closed or anything. So I'll go on Monday too.. Please update me should you hear anything different..

I donot think there is an holiday on Monday in Islamabad. status was updated by bhc so you can check on Monday as well. If Gerry didnot recieve yur application on monday which is most unlikely as per the status you can collect on Tuesday. important thing is that u got the visa Inshallah either its Monday or Tuesday doesnot matter much. Best of luck

Update: Thanks, I just hope we hear a positive outcome. The text message stated to pick up between mon-fri. The BHC status simply states your application is ready for collection from where you submitted your application.. Keep me in your prays everyone.. I hope every member hears a positive outcome very soon. Thanks..
