Hi everyone,

preparing to send application and supporting docs and just wanted to be sure about this.

Can anyone confirm that they have sent just the NADRA Marriage Certificate with the Union Council stamp
as evidence of Marriage and it was accepted by the ECO. I have not had the Nikah Nama translated as the NADRA
Certificate has both urdu and english sections. I am sure I read in a post somewhere that the BHC have instructed
Gerry's to accept either the NADRA Marriage Certificate or the urdu Nikah Nama & translation as long as they have
the Union Council stamp.

Many thanks

Does anyone have any experience of doing the A1 test at SLS? I am thinking of booking my missus onto it as it has a suitable date available.

If anyone has done the test with them could you give me an overview??

Any help appreciated

Thanks
My husband did it there, if your wife's standard of english is good then I would suggest there. Many people recently have passed the listening and failed the speaking by a few marks, my husband had to do it twice, passed the listening and failed the speaking. he has now passed and recieved the certificates..
if u fail one section do u have to take the full test again?
Im not sure about that, the first time my husband did it we were told that the tape recorder wasnt working properly and they couldnt mark him because of that and then he did both the listening and speaking again.

But its common sense that if she passes the listening then all she will have to re-sit is the speaking one again, which you will have to pay for unless it was due to negligence on their side.

It could may well mean that by tommorow or some tym this week it may change to ready for collection as naila sis mentioned. They probably mean its bring fowarded to the application centre where u submitted the application. And they may have made this change cos they get so many calls and emails concerning the whereabouts of an application and this gives people a little idea that they are close to hearing about their application.

It'd just a guess pls dnt take my word for it and correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyone get any comments on this, would appreciate the info before handing the docs in to Gerry's, rather than finding out something afterwards. Maybe one of the mods knows something.
