they say that the application processing started in August last year. I guess its understandable that i will be hearing nothing from them for atleast an year. having said that, my very much reliable source from inside told me that i'll be having a re-medical request by few months from now.
Ever since they have punted their VISA officer to work from dubai, we are having this never ending problem of system generated replies to our electronic queries. the officer takes bundle of files with them to their dubai station (Pakistan only), Process them in three months, send them back and take another lot for review and recommendations.
Few of my friends who are now residing over there (Canada) did a cheeky trick to get their processing done. they went to Srilanka which, somehow gives nationality to foreigners at whole sale rate (No idea why). they apply from there and got their Passport stamped with glittering blue visa in scarcely believe 5 months.
