Hello,

I came back from pakistan on Friday . I was on a 2 week vacation to celebrate my 1st wedding anniversary.
I want to know should I send the recent photos and other proofs taken during this trip LVO voluntarily?

If so how can I update them by mail or email?

guys can anyone guide on how to share images (if possible) or append excel files? am a newbie
For posting images:
1.Upload them to https://imgur.com
2.After uploading, on the right hand side you will see a link "BBCode (message boards & forums)" just paste this link in your post here and the pic will be displayed with your post.

Append excel files is a broad term, you will need to be more specific than that.

trying to understand business case for moving files to London:

Before:
Islamabad processing time: 32 month

After:
time already waited: 21 months
london processing time: 11 months

Total time: 32 months + confusion + headaches + file transfer costs and delays + lag-lead times

at the look of things not worth it. to make it worth it they should process all 2012 files within 6 months. else they gave themselves and us a run around

they do however get points for improvements in customer service compared to those robots in ISB

Hey TerryKhan. I noticed you applied in Dec 2013 yet your file first went to Islamabad .... that is so weird because all this time I was thinking only first half of 2013 aplicants went to islamabad .... that is so weird .... definitely they are not following any pattern ... just here and there

i checked my file status today and my mailing address was not complete in thefile status page, it says House No 5 6. while my street has a name. and without the street name its very difficult to find the right place, so should i contact them and tell them the right mailing address?

Woah..my file just went from "Application Received" to "In Progress"

with a burden loadshedding comment of "we started processing your application on May 26, 2014"

the timing though is what intrigues me. so there is a method to this madness

and we need more of this type of loadshedding rather than the one that just took out my lights here in Kharian :)

What does it show in your ecas status?

you should send case specific inquiry to London Visa Office since it has been more 11 months (i.e more than the London application processing time).

OR you can order GCMS notes also

I think you should definitely send them the address. CIC allows for sending corrections on your file.

Do not forget to include your file number, Name, date of birth in the email
