cutenice62 10 Posted June 26, 2013 Has anyone recently gone to renew the passport, particularly in Karachi? please share the experience & tips and tell how long it takes and where it is best to go to get it renewed, at the main saddar office or awami markaz? Thanks in advance. I can tell you situation from lahore, yes, situation with urgent requests are far more improved then previously, but with normal fee its still have a lot of delay. as passports are printed in ISB so i think situation is improved all over Pakistan for urgent requests.

msvayani 10 Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) One of our fellow om195 did his medicals on 29th May 2013. Due to some issues on IOM's end, they were not able to forward the results to DIAC. Frustratingly, for almost next 10 days, om195 was continuously in contact with IOM personnel to get the update whether they forwarded the results or not. Finally IOM ensured that results have been forwarded...having all these follow ups, om195 did not notice any change in his online status page. Yesterday he enquired his CO about the acknowledgement of medicals and he was surprised to get the response from CO that he did not yet receive the medicals from IOM....In such case where IOM is doing such kind of behaviour, what can an applicant do ???????????? You should forward your CO's email to these two email addresses and ask for clarifications: IOM MHDIslamabad <MHDislamabad@iom.int>, IOM AusMed Pakistan <AUSMEDPK@iom.int> Also ask them to send some kind of proof that your meds are submitted. In my case, IOM sent me the screenshot of their medical software having my name on it and it's status was saying "SUBMITTED". I hope this helps. P.S. I am still waiting for a confirmation from my CO that he got the med results. Edited June 26, 2013 by msvayani Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anjumh 10 Posted June 26, 2013 A March 2012 applicant named (nuked) has received his grant today.

imi 10 Posted June 27, 2013 Amazed to hear that security checks for a 189 applicant (zaki naeem) started after 4-5 months of his CO allocation. CO was allocated on Oct2012 and SC start on Feb2013. Really strange and worrying situation. So means that its not confirm that our SC started just after CO allocation or submission of Form80.
