they are referring to urdu nikkanama, if you have urdu one, you need to get it translated. the nadra marriage certificate is already in english and urdu both so no need to translate that. you will need to take both with you.
I have nikahnama in both languages (urdu&english) plus nadra marriage certificate. So i guess that’d be enough.

In july I received PFL asking for more evidence including whatsapp chats, money transfer slips etc.
I replied back 2 weeks back with all the details to LVO. I asked a week back to confirm if they have received all my attachments and they said Yes and the file is awaiting review by the immigration officer responsible for my file.
It has been more than a year since I submitted my application and I am still at "reviewing eligibility" and nothing seems to have moved. I emailed the local MP with immigration minister in CC but they didnt reply so I called after a week, the assistant said if this is about a spousal sponsership you will need to book an appointment and meet the MP (probably they dont reply on emails). I did so and I have an appointment for next month.

Has someone been in similar boat? i.e. replying to PFL and not getting response after 2 weeks, I thought if you receive PFL or any other thing it means the file is now been worked on so i will get quick responses.

it has been different experience for everyone who got PFL. some got a response within 1-2 weeks, others did not get any response for months.

i think @Carl_johnson got a reply after 2 weeks, right carl?

So little less than a month and BGC still in progress. Have you been to multiple countries because of which BGC is taking long? I see in spreadsheet that people even got their BGC done in 1 day.
