Just a quick question.
The rule is that the bank statements should not be more than 28 days old. Does our application time start from the day we make our online application and payment or when we actually submit the documents at gerry's?

Was the interview in English or Urdu?? Because on the application form it says preferred language can you speak to them in Urdu would they still possibly grant visa if this happened??

i guess in urdu would put a negative impact on ur case coz thats why they take english test that you can speak and understand english.

True, I wrote English and Urdu where its written on the application form about preferred language for the interview, and I guess they would only speak to you up to a1 standard if they were to give an interview for settlement thank you
