infact it open my eyes as well. my case is little different then Immad's freind. in my case, on all of my educational documents my father's name is with out addtional name ("khan") but on my ID card and on my passport it is with addtional name. i think it will be problem for me as well. i am gona apply for EC in April.
dont we have any approving athourthy that can authenticate this issue or any thing that BHC people dont go for long verification just by bcoz of this .
its strange that BHC people taking that long, i dont know what sort of verification checks need that much time now days. i hope INS all of you will get a good news soon...

Hi softlogic

My case is pretty much same like you. My Father's last name is missing on my educational documents unlike my passport and id card which contain my Father's both first and last name. Would this be an issue while applying for EC ? Could you or some one from this forum please advise a way to solve this problem. thanks

Hello AANWAR,
i think it does not creat any problem especially if your Fathers CAST is missing on you educational docs and it is in place on your ID card and on Passport. like i mentioned in my previous post.
i am not sure about the case in which we dont have a last name at all in edu docs. if you tell me in little more detail, might be i will able to put some more light on it.
what about other fellows who are geting ready for EC ?:)
if any one applied recently ?

Hi guys....
donwry kashif m preparing to apply for EC

nywz thr z little query about ma returnd docs frm HO.....wen i opened ma file thr z one doc missing n dat z ma ITR, suggest me wot shud i do?? shud i ask them to return it or shud i leave it as it z nt required for EC.

Regards
Wasim.

Thanks Softlogic

In my case my fathers last name i.e family name is missing not the Cast.
For example its Muhammad Arshad Nadeem on my id card and password but on all educational documents from Matric to Masters its Muhammad Arshad. I don't if it will create any issues during the EC.

I like the advice of Whatever suggesting to get all documents verified from HEC as you provide your NIC number while getting them approved from HEC. But I don't know which document I can provide to Immigration officer to prove that the person on Educational Documents and ID Card & Passport is same.

Best regards

I dont think this will *not* be a problem You should do some research regarding this and make an affidavit which cearly shows that there is a problem in your docs but they are original. The name of your father on your docs and IDs is actually the same.

My two cents ...

Hi guys, I need help regarding EC, I already applied for EC under HSMP category on 11th Feb but still I receive no response it’s been a month. I called UK Consulate in Islamabad but no response and recording is change that I should contact to Gerry's regarding any inquiry. I called several times infect daily to Gerry’s on 8865 and the same words I hear every different date, "It’s still in process call us after 2, 3 days" I sent an email to Islamabad visqry.islamabad@fco.gov.uk, and I received reply with n automated email with bundle of instruction which have no concern with my case, they have mention to send email if I need more information to Visqry2@islamabad.fco.gov.uk, from where my email rebound that the address id false....

Any help regarding this will be highly appriciated.
(P.S) no inquiry has been made till yet (Confrmed from bank and my employer)

Dear kkashif,

Now a days they are taking long time just like mine its now exactly one month and my case is still in process.In my opinion dont take risk to apply now or if u really wanna apply now then u have to extend ur date to visit Canada.up to you buddy coz may be they'll send ur passport in 5 days luckily abut it can be extended and for how long ! its up to them.
Good luck.

Hi Peeru,

Can you please tell how much a furnished room cost to you. Actually, I have the approved HSMP status and reluctant to apply for EC untill I have some job offer. Living in UK for long while searching for a job would be pretty expensive. What I have learned from various threads in "Employments and Job in UK" forum that it is very difficult to get a job in UK now a days. Resigning from a well settled job is breath taking especially when you don't have anything in hand.

Since I don't know any one close to me in UK, I will also either have to live in a hotel or hostel for quite some time in a scenario when I won't get any offer and have no other choice than to visit UK. I am also thinking to come UK alone initially and then bring my wife and daughter. I am afraid of facing any problem in applying EC for family lateron so wanted to apply with me.

Hi Azfer,
Room rent is deferred from location wise, what I’m paying is 350 pound a month with everything like Internet and all utilities and its furnished off-course. It’s on west side in London. I sagest you to go to www.loot.co.uk that site will help you in every way of living in UK.
And bro you don’t worry about job now a day’s UK is a main HUB and I’m sure nobody takes long to get the best job of their lives. Until and unless one can demonstrate the right kind of work and knowledge in his/her field. Try www.reeds.co.uk and www.monster.co.uk I got some why don’t anyone else. Be positive buddy. But the main hurdle is EC I hope you’ll cross that line without much trouble. Good luck.

And dear mrrajawasim u have to submit every passport within 10 years. This is what Gerry’s told us, I have submitted my previous 4 passport.
Take care all of you.

Another possibility is to send your registration cards along with your documents which shows that you actually took the exam and these are your own documents. But you may not possess your registration card now ... ? Any other document? I remember there are a lot of small receipts and documents before a board level exam.

Hello All,

I reached uk last evening.

I assure you guys that there is NO need for protector stamp. I did not have it on my passport and no one bothered. If you guys wanna waste money, time and energy going for it, be my guest but you will be fine without it.
