[quote="Zak_K"] 4 hours!? Damn! My Mrs was in for like 30 mins and I was stressing. With regards to treasury tags did you by any chance put your documents in wallets before putting the tag through? I know of a handful of people who used this and it was never an issue. Zak.[/quote] Nah I hole punched...
Went on the 31st with my wife to submit her application in Lahore. A few things, firstly I had to wait outside for 4 hours and there was literally nowhere to sit, and because she wasnt allowed to take her phone in, you couldnt really go anywhere either. Seriously it was tough, Id advise taking a cha...

OK, About the applicants documents in that batleykhan post
"4. provide an original NIC card with 1 photocopy"
I guess this copy is part of the original and not part of the copy of the whole application. Would this need to be certified? seems pointless since the original is also handed in.
It was just a simple question didnt expect this :D Since Ive bought treasury tags Ill go with those. Anyway can I hole punch everything, including the TB certficate? Also someone at the Ufone office mentioned to us that my wifes ID card was in urdu. Can anyone confirm that this would be allowed or m...
Hello I am in Pak right now (cant believe how hot it is especilly with electricity going). I would be grateful if you could tell me about the dos and donts when handing in the application. Can we hand it in a plastic folder which has plastic wallets included. Or do we use treasury tags? And when usi...
Another question, under what circumstances must you include your old passport. My current one is from 2005,and I got married in 2009. Is that enough? or do I need to find my old passport.
[quote="amr2010"][quote="someperson49"]OK I have another question, Ive just found out my wifes ID card is in Urdu. Does she need the english version for the application?[/quote] Nope. ID Card is to prove her identity in Pak and therefore most are Urdu. I understand your parents maybe putting you und...

OK so I should certify every page of the passport and my Pakistan ID card, but what else? and what doesnt need certifying....
Hello I have a trip booked for this Tuesday, so things have become urgent. I have got the house inspection done and will get the documents on monday, but without photographs.

Hello There is no mortgage on the property, and my dad has the deeds, which have the same problem. We will have to send a letter to sort it out, but I probably wont use it as part of the application now. Will the hosing inspection report, a council tax bill and a written letter from my dad be enough...
