ruqayya Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hi sister, AHC requested the same documents from me but i could not get them on a short notice. I got married in AUS and my wife is in Australia.. First of all its not ur name change on ur NIC , Its ur Head name change (Your Father's name will be replaced with your Husband's name) Its because u have to tell them you are married to this person, I'm sure ur hubby have a NICOP card. NADRA will update ur Marital status.. Then you can get FRC thing.. But if u do this from Pakistan High Commission In Canberra, AUSTRALIA it will take approx 3 MONTHS. If u do it from Pakistan (Any Nadra Executive Office) only 7 DAYS... Be-careful before applying from Australia, because they will also send ur application to Pakistan for the change or modification on ur NIC. So its better to apply from Pakistan. Applicant's Presence is necessary in Pakistan for any change or any modification in ur NIC. Thanks. thx for ur reply, if applicant's presence is necessary then how do i go back???? i just came here three weeks ago....and i am on a three months visit visa...i need to get my NIC made and then my FRC....dunno what to do in this regard..as u mentioned, i sent my husband to check with the pakistan consulate in sydney for the NICOP thing as it was mentioned on the website that they will deal with it but now they are saying Canberra deals with it and it takes three months almost....so what do i do now?? how do i get it made now?? what did u do when u had to make ur NIC ?

Mada Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 @mada; do u have any info regarding my queries?? i am in big big trouble right now with no clue whatsoever i think this is no problem ...its very simple to get FRC...if u have Birth certificate and Marriage Certificate from NADRA then u write one letter on behalf you so any your family member in Pakistan contact to NADRA office they will issue FRC ...IA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mada Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 8 month gone and most of people still waiting for their visa it seems like they will take complete 12 months for processing now according to spreadsheet male applicant 12 to 14 month and female 6 to 9 month timeline but u right 12 month too much time for Pakistani people's AHC start partner section 2012 so i think they have also manpower problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rees Ahmad Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) bro, right now i am in sydney...i am getting my NIC changed here from sydney office..once its done, can i send my NIC to karachi where my parents live and let them get my FRC made with my husbands name providing my and my husband's NIC and nikah nama?? or do i neeed to be present there to get it made?? i have heard from some ppl tht ur presence is necessary dunno y...also how much time does it take? My wife already applied for the modification from Canberra, Australia and i could not provide AHC the FRC but i gave them the explanation and some proofs (Receipts) that my wife has applied for it. And obviously she's in Australia and it takes 3 months to get it done from there.. And she can't come to Pakistan. But Sister i tell u something if u apply from there (Australia) it will take upto 3 months and ur new card will be ready, But it might take 1 month for ur Marital Status to be updated in the Nadra Records that's all u need to get the FRC. Well what i know is only NICOP holders can apply from there, if u can see the FORM on their website its for NICOP holders. If u hold a NICOP that's alrite but if u have a simple NIC then u have to check with the Pak High Comm in Canberra. I think its better to give them the explanation and when u come back to Pakistan then do this coz its easy and quick.. U will get ur card in 2 Months of time if u do it from Pak (When ur visa expires and u will be in Pak). 3 Months from Australia. U don't have to go to Canberra. U can courier all the things on their PO.BOX Address not on their Physical Address and u have to surrender the original ID card with the Form And $70 is the fee. After a week or so they Pak High Comm transfer ur Application through Normal Australian Post (14 Working Days Time) to Islamabad Nadra Office.. They will take time.. Its a big hassle.. The choice is ur sister Make a wise decision.. I hope u understand.. ALLAH Sub ki mushkilain assan karien (Ameen). YES U HAVE TO BE PRESENT IN PAKISTAN FOR ANY CHANGES OR MODIFICATION IN UR ID's... That's true.. If its not like that i can get FRC straight away on my wife's behalf.. U know what i mean..!!

If they say they have received it then i guess its fine.. Dont know what happened with mickey documents maybe they did receive the email.. But if you are still doubtful cant you just post the documents they requested again.. and karima is never available last week i call her and they said the same thing to me..
