it is wife case
Chc received my application on 10 june 2011 and they did not contact me since then.
now i received acknowledgement letter on 27 august but is is very confusing letter and i am unavle to understand what to do and what documents to send them
i received AOR with some document listed. statement is as
"please provide certified english or french translation of documentation marked with check mark"
a) Certified copies of all identity documents including CNIC and birth certificate
b) certified copies of passport
c) original police clearance certificate
d) some forms links are given from which only one is underlined
no word is underlined in option f) ang g)
no document contain check mark but some words are underlined in some options. do i need to send underlined documents???
all the documents in this form are required for processing your case and they will not start processing your application until receive all the document
so the best idea is to send all of them
for cnic send them a copy back to back attached with english translation from a registered translator, attested by notary public also with stamp and seal of ministry of foreign affairs
for passport copy of first page with picture and copy of the page that has your signature attested by notary public only because ministry of foreign affairs does not attest passports
and one documents that is only for pakistanis is attested english translation of you nikah nama if they did not ask for it now then you must have already sent it OR they will ask for it just before starting to process you application and that can delay your application if not sent to them with application
police clearance certificate has to go as is but it has to be with in 3 months of issue date and you have to get one from every city of pakistan that you lived in for more then 6 months at a time since you were 18 .... and if you lived outside pakistan since you were 18 you have to get police clearance form that country too
and for pakistani cases they also require original education documents not photocopy but before you send original to them make copies for yourself have them attested by ministry of foreign affairs and HEC because if you need them while your original documents are gone the attested copies will be as close to original as it gets.
Hay you can send all the documents in one shot or you can make them wait and ask for them one by one
it takes them 3 to 6 months before they will open your file again if they open your file and find out there is documents missing they will ask for it and close your file for another 3 to 6 months ....... and they will keep doing it untill they have everything they need to start the process
thats what i found out so far but you know what.... thats my opinion
