Booked appointment at gerrys,

Anyone managed to change/cancel appointments? Apparently they say it can't be done.

They are also insisting on ORIGINAL bank statements with the photocopied documents?
Anyone heard of this before?

How soon could they offer you an appointment and which VAC please?

Bank statements must be originals yes. All the sponsor's documents should be originals except for the passport where a certified copy is adequate.

Edited to add: Furthermore, does anybody know how soon you can get an appointment for the TB screening in Islamabad and then a submission appointment at Islamabad VAC?

I mean the delay between phoning and the actual appointment. Thanks.

just curious how many people on here have applied at Mirpur in either April/May and still waiting to hear from them?

Seems to me, best bet is to go Lahore/Islamabad. U agree?
