Ah. I am so relieved there was no issue with your visa. However,I find it really silly to ask to have the passports sent back because the miserly sum has not been cleared? That's petty.qshahzad said:Thanks beckett, we all have learnt to be calm after the tremendous wait of 3 odd years
I got an email from my VO and it seems that there is no issue with the visa at all. Ironically, the bank draft sent for 150 CAD for my new born was not cleared therefore, they are holding the passports till the payment is cleared. This time around i am getting the payment processed from London so that it is timely processed and finalized. Processing the payment from Pakistan will take up considerable time in the form of courier (5 days) and bank clearance (time ?).
I guess there was also an option that they could have asked for the processing fee at the time of landing maybe, but as said, what happens, happens for the best.
God bless,
You did the right thing getting it done in London. Let us know when you get your passports back.
Best,
Beckett
