Thanks, just tried - no answer! Do you know there opening times?

Also how long have you been waiting since the processed email? Mirpur seem to be lagging.

Thnx

Yes the text he received was to confirm a decision has been made and he can collect the papers. Inshallah all will be well.

I also paid for the text service but nothing so far - not even an email from the Gerry's :/

Submitted 8th May, ISB received it 11th May. Only got a processed email because I chased it up.
Worried how long it will take for Mirpur to call us because her TB cert runs out on 8th August - will she have to do that again before flying over?

Guys all embassy's r processing visas really quick (may), anyone who applied before 8th may isn't really getting a reply but anyone who applied 12,24,18,21,25 seems to be, Islamabad is currently ahead and mirpur is lagging behind, just cause they say 12 weeks it's not always, can be under 12 weeks e.g 9/10 week mark or even up to 22/23 weeks, just have patience and pray for the best, u will eventually get a call to collect
