As far as I'm aware there is BHC in Islamabad. I phoned them afew times and they picked up once. Gerrys told me that settlement visa passports are not send abroad, and that they remain in pakistan.. To be honest I have no idea where our passport is. Gerrys Never answer any questions clearly, and BH...

Why is the BHC in Islamabad so slow? There service level is Nil, and process times are sick. 4 months to stamp a passport? How does that make sense? Dame I hate them.

BHC is a con, and Gerrys is even worse. Gerrys is run on visa fees. The British low commssion in pakistan are just disgusting.
