Where is your wife getting her med done? If in Lahore then no need of pic and if the PP is Dr.Asma then no need of even polio certificate.

I am on the same boat like others. For us, it's been more than a month now and still waiting...
I would also appreciate if someone who recently got their passport back with visa share with us all how long it took from the time the passport was mailed to ISB visa office. Thanks!

Do not make it complex, they asked to get it done by xyz date and you are doing it in the allowed time period right? You have 4 days to send them an email regarding Rukhsati done with few pics of family and friends on the functions with a cover letter that detailed rukhsati proofs will be sent later when we get the hard copy in coming week. Simple :)

First of all relax..... I am sure you'll be having rukhsati and waleema,
get the invitation cards printed and send one invitation card to the Visa office (I am assuming your file is in London) this would inform them that you are going to have a rukhsati done on the date mentioned on the invitation card,

also send them the copy of the air ticket for pakistan (I think you are in Canada and will be flying to pakistan for the rukhsati),

once you reach pakistan scan your passport and send them the stamp page of your passport that you reached pakistan for the rukhsati....

Now on the rukhsati day have a function with atleast 200 ppl and have as many pictures as possible also show rukhsati that you are leaving with your wife and also have the pictures taken that she is sitting in the car with you and also take pictures once you both reach home....

Send them an email that rukhsati is done send atleast 5 or 6 picturs by email and also send the pictures of rukhsati and valima by courier

so you have to send email for all the details, scan the invitation card and send them also send the invitation card by courier....

Oh I am sorry, just one more question, while submitting your application, what did you mention, like you have done nikkah only or you have done rukhsati as well.......

I have researched they dont accept nikkah only, they consider marriage is complete once rukhsati is done....

I am asking you this question, because if you mentioned rukhsati was done before and now u tell them you are going for rukhsati, they may say that you did not provide the correct info... which may not be the positive sign for your application....anyways best of luck

There are only 2 doctors in Lahore IOM and both are so nice, Dr.Asma did mine and said no need to send your polio certificate to the center as you have not brought, I ll send your case in few days but take certificate with you when leave for Canada...
No, it is not a big deal to get the certificate but is a matter of few hours. You can get it from any Govt hospital, you will need to take PP copy with you to the hospital and that is it.

berket said:
Anyone who has gotten a medical done recently can you please state if a Polio Certificate was required?
My med was done last week and I did not take polio certificate with me as ISB Call center agent din ask me to take that with me.
