The thing is what was Ottawa's job?. Many early 2012 applicants where transferred to Ottawa (I,myself included) and after a certain time around 6-8 months file was forwarded to Islamabad e-storage. They didn't issue remeds, repcc, add docs or have any correspondence with the applicant. It was just a "holding ground", when the green light came from Islamabad that specific file was forwarded. Now, if Ottawa is having trouble forwarding files and consider it a "work overload" then that visa office needs to shut down due to incompetence....
