To All,

I apologize if i reacted bad .. but im sorry quiet frustrated now...
Its not UOC there r so many people who keep telling me oh forget it these days they r taking 2 yrs to complete husbands files ..
URGH!! so i was just a bit dissapointed :'(

Any ways still positive .. with positive vibes im going to be with my husband soon..
Inshallah

Iam also praying for all of you .. we are in desperate need of good news in the new year... ;D
Who says it takes two years for husbands to get visa. It all depends on the immigration officer, that's what i heard. If the officer is tough then you expect the delay otherwise they are trying to keep it in the timeframe what they tell you. Right now they have given 16 months to process the case instead of 14 months so let see what happens. I have reached almost 14 months and that's what they told my MP'S office and now let see what they do. I will let you guys know if i hear anything good from the embassy.

Salam alaikoume Baseera why ur husband wants to get visa for Pakistan? he should send his passport directly to embassy via DHL it won't get that long though rather than waiting to get visa and go in person even though he has to get apointment with embassy they won't entertain him without apointment he is just waisting his time my suggestion is to ask him to send his passport directly to embassy with courrier like DHL or FEDEX they're safe and fast and you can even track it also they give the name of the person who received it in embassy sometimes they send an sms saying that your parcel has been received at embassy and the name of the person who received it ask him to not waist time after all what he has been through it'll be very unfortunate if he missed it just because of Pakistani visa. Keep us updated
well he did go to Fedix and they told him how they do not send passports to Pakistan trough mail... so he has to go in person... and he is not going into the embassy in person he is going to mail it from there

Baseera, my husband got the same thing...he got the letter on december 6 2010 and the date on the letter is november 30 2010 (a week late)...he got pakistani visa in one day....i dont know why its taking forever for ur husband to get visa :S thats weird. I think you have 3 days to send in. Maybe call the embbassay Noww and explain to them. its faster this way than writing a letter, I think.
you know I emailed the embassy but did not get the confermation email back.. whats going on? I was going to email them about this setuation but it does not work

Send them Fax as well. In the mean time ask your husband to respond back to Islamabad Embassy for the request he received. Tell him to put his situation in a letter that how he is waiting for Pakistan Embassy to issue him the visa, so he can go to Pakistan and send his passport to Islamabad Embassy. Make sure you mention that fedex has refused to send his passport through mail.

Also you have to know this that Islamabad will not mail his passport back to Afghanistan Address. He has to provide a pakistani address in order for Islamabad to mail his passport back.

ooh ok.....but do you have any relative or someone you trust in islamabad? if you do, your husband doesnt have to get paki visa, he can fly to pakistan and meet one of your relatives at the pakistan border and give his passport and a copy of flight itinerary to them in person and then go back to afg. your relative can mail it to embbassay in pakistan. itll take one or two days.

Saroo have you received any 2nd Medical request yet? Also 16 months time line is NOT for the cases that are in queue to be processed. The time line at CIC website is indicating application processing times at Canadian visa offices outside Canada once Step 1 has been completed. The times are based on how long it took to process 80 percent of all cases between October 1, 2009, and September 30, 2010. Processing times are subject to change.

The time indicated on the website is just the average for all the cases they have already processed. This doesn't mean that future cases will get process in the same time frame. They could be earlier, and could be more longer. It is subject to Change, and it is clearly stated on the website.
