Hey,
Is this delay normal ???

Should we e-mail them for status update ???
The average processing time for work permit from Islamabad is 6 months. Can you please share what documents did your spouse enclosed to support the application?

Did your spouse applied paper application or online?

Its online, well we followed the checklist that CHC (Pakistan) has for paper based applicants.

in 2013 some people received medical calls in 45 - 55 days (online/paper based), not sure why the process is slow in 2014, one of the factor can be due to the summer/spring session study permit applicants.

Mostly likely yes that could be the reason. Well I have ordered GCMS notes and the ETA will be 1st May let see what happen. Please let me know about the update on you application.

Well my wife does not have any prior work experience as she just finished her MSc in December 2013. What about your partner?

---- Yeah sure and you as well please.

---- I think prior experience is not mandatory in this case, having a good qualification can be a plus here, mine has a bachelor degree and is employed.
What is GCMS ? and How to order GCMS ?
