Asalaam alakium, I can confirm what BK has stated - there is no need to translate the Pakistani ID card. My wife took photo copies of her Urdu card with her but we never had it translated. I havn't posted in a while but it seems there 1 or 2 individuals giving out very ropey advice. As a general rul...
Is there any negativity associated with ticking the arranged marriage box? My mother did the running around for me, all I did was say 'Woohoo! Yeesss ppleeeaase!'

Pictures of the house are OTT. The inspection report will do fine. You can get the report from your local Council's Environment and Housing dept Not exactly true as pictures are very important in a report because the ECO can see the state of the house. I would strongly advise that you get them. You...
