Hi If you go through the last two weeks post i believe someone has already given the number to some one else..... Im not sure if anyone besides the operator will talk to you.I believe that when they know it has something to do with a visa they tend to put the phone down......... Best of luck

Hi I dont think it is that easy...... maybe call gerry's see what they say. Ive not really heard anyone cancel halfway.
if you dont mind me asking why are you withdrawing your application

zully

You can withdraw your application any time before the decision takes place. But the fee will not be refunded. There is a form which you can fill it and dispatch it to you embassy.
thanx gregarious and zully any idea how long it takes?

at what point is the application registered- day of online submition or the day you hand in form at gerrys?

is there a time constraint between submitting online and visiting gerrys to submit in person?


i was thinking whether people are able to submit application online today and hand in to gerrys next year this means avoidingg the new income rules to come in place next month.

Salaam people,
Do we now have to submit VAF4 forms online, or can we just download the form as usual, fill and submit on the day without online form?

What would you recommend?

Thanks

Yeh
Sounds like its getting over the line
but what i observe is
they take a round trip for a bunch of applications( however some of them are over 80 days) when they got enough applications back from embassy, they usually update accordingly, but in marlboro and hide and seek cases, they were only two people one after one got RFC call.

Lets hope this will get through the routine process, cuz the wait is worth doing at the end,

The holy Month of Rajab Awall has just started
recite following and dua for all muslim ummah

10 times Surah Ikhlas( QulhuAllah )
10 times Surah Fatiha( Alhamdu Shareef)

and pray from Allah to forgive our sins and showers HIS kindness and blessings upon all of us during this difficult time
may ALLAH ( SWT) accepts our worships and deeds

and good news, its best to do fasting for the 1st day of Rajab, its full of blessings .

thanks
Jazak Allah
