Hello Guys,

I have very quick question, CHC Islamabad requested my mother passport for visa issuance. They told us to send the passport via Fedex or TCS including prepaid envelop. We live in Islamabad, The fedex guy told me that they don't have any domestic service. I need to contact Gerry visa services to send her passport. Can you please share his experience is it okay to send through them and usually how much days does it take to issue a visa and they return passport back to us.


Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Sohail

1. I believe most people in Pakistan use Gerry's or TCS, so why not use TCS?
2. According to Trackitt about 3 weeks for passport return.

I didn't know exact time line, i think it took 5 year for medical and now it's been 8 months now after the medical
 
My parents received the Passport request this June. They were asked to send pre paid envelopes, but TCS told my parents that they dont do that. So my parents sent in the passports as is. I then emailed CIC-ISL and they replied back saying that the passports will be returned with cash on delivery service. It took about 4 weeks from passport request to passports back.

Good Luck

If you check Trackitt you will find that the return of the passport takes between 3 and 5 weeks.
 
I have 6 weeks now.
 
Today I received an email from CHC islamabd,

Dear Client,

This is in response to your email (see below).

Your application is currently in process and is in queue for review by an immigration officer.

We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.


I don't know which queue?

that might make them take time. my parents medical is expiring dec 18, 2011. So they asked us to send them bookings along with the passport asap and also mentioned about medical expiry date.
