shawais 10 Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Even i am not from Karachi bro but still i am discussing the possible routes with respect to fares. Who knows a 3rd person might get benefited from our conversation. Lets not limit ourselves to our own wishes only. Cheers mate No worries my friend. We were discussing airfares, and you were suggested to check Emirates. i just mentioned its not much feasible for me and rates are higher from isb. ofcourse it may be feasible for others. Btw, Emirates rates are higher from Khi too if you compare thai from khi. Fares from Khi are low, and one can travel to khi via train or domestic airline it will cost around 9000 per person by air to khi from isb or lhr.

Nazmul 16 Posted September 10, 2013 MASHALLAH ... Mabrook my friend :-)... wish u all the best. When u will move and to where? Thanks for the nice wishes! I was out of the country so could not attend to your question early. I wish to move in mid Nov 13 & to Melbourne. Reason for choosing Nov is that the kids can catch session & job wise lots of shuffling & opening happens during that time of the year. Melbourne - as the balance between income & expenditure is best there compared to other cities.

moji 10 Posted September 11, 2013 Hi Seniors I made an inquiry with IGIS and received the following response: "I refer to your inquiry concerning any security assessment that may be required for this visa application and advise there is no current case with the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO). Please contact the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) for information about this application and an updated status." I called DIAC today and the operator didnt have a clue about what IGIS is and told me he cant see anything on my file. He tried to put me through to my CO but he wasnt at his desk. Now, do you think I should email CO about my application? will I piss him off if I tell him I made an inquiry with IGIS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
