dragonz Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Posting to update my progress: I requested IOM for flight booking assistance over a week ago and within a day got a reply from their rep in Islamabad to deposit the quoted fare amount(at SCB) and share the scanned copy of the deposit slip with them so they can proceed with formalities and revert with the ticket. The validity of the offer was valid till today(18th Feb) and Mr.Smarty Pants left it till the eleventh hour to make the confirmation. Surprise, surprise....today's a strike!!!! Stretched it to this point as I was researching other possible cheaper options. I got confirmation on Friday that IOM's deal is best in terms of allowed baggage+fare+transit, but it was too late to make the deposit at that hour & SCB's closed on Saturday. No worries still a day to go. Saturday: Quetta bomb blast!! Country-wide protests!!! Strike call on Monday! Mega-bummer! No way out! I had to risk going out to make the deposit today. All branches that I checked in the morning; PECHS, Hill Park & Sh-e-Faisal, were closed. Took the risk with low CNG & virtually no petrol(pumps closed as well) to check Main Branch. Found it open and thank my lucky angels. The teller there plays the dreaded FIA immigration agent role and tells me that they don't deal in IOM deposits and that only Hill Park & Gulshan-e-Iqbal do so. I tell him its a straight-forward deposit but he refused to accept and insisted that Hill Park is the branch to go to. Confused, I go back hoping that perhaps some staff might have turned up and they might've opened by then. Reach there, shutters down, they were open and cautiously letting customers in. I tell the receptionist my whole story. He shows me printed SCB-IOM deposit slips only for UK Medicals!!!! Redirected to IOM office(Tipu Sultan Rd)! IOM office also tell me that they don't have any directives(they do only MEDs) from Islamabad!! The lady who spoke to me on the phone at the reception asked me to come in and show her the copy of the email I was carrying. She advises me to make the deposit, the very same way I had attempted to do so at the Main Branch, at the Hill Park branch. I tell her that SCB had refused to take the deposit amount; she said she didn't understand why(neither did I!!). Anyways, I come back to Hill Park branch and tell them with a bit more conviction that IOM had advised me to make the deposit here and also that the other branch refused to take the payment. They too were reluctant as most of the deposits made in favor of IOM didn't normally exceed Rs.5000/-. Eventually got them to accept the payment, which can be made at any branch(!!!)(@#$&!@@#), and got the coveted deposit slip. Emailed the copy within an hour thereafter. Hopefully the ticket will follow soon. MORAL: Long story short, don't expect even the best of the best(SCB in my case) not to falter here in Pakistan and never ever leave anything on your to-do list to the last minute(totally unpredictable political situation). Make sure you give yourself a cushion of at least a couple of days if not more. This is totally applicable to all Pakistani applicants and specially for Karachites who can visualize my ordeal.

I even asked him why they, well-known for their flexible banking procedures, couldn't accept the deposit on behalf of Hill Park.

Siealman Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The moral of the story may be useful to many however.... I deposited a cheque from MCB via a deposit slip at SCB(Site Branch) and it was accepted and cleared, which is a standard account to account transfer for any bank, just as you deposit someone's cheque in your own account. Secondly, you could have called IOM and told them the situation, they could have extended the validity of the offer. I got my validity till 9th th Feb and I asked for a change in itenary (1 week) and the offer validity was changed to 23rd Feb.

rehanonline83 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Mate I think you should wait for at least 2 months before calling DIAC. I never called DIAC since i lodged my application (Feb 19, 2012). I have also never been asked a single question by DIAC since i lodged my application. I only contacted my CO once (by email) and that was months before. My CO said that my application is undergoing routine checks. Shouldn't i call DIAC in 1st week of March to at least get an idea of what is happening? What about contacting IGIS to know if there is any delay concerning my SC?

Brother if you have been told only one month ago that your application is undergoing routine checks then what kind of update do you need now? The standard duration of checks is 12+ months nowadays for PK applicants so you should wait for at least 1-2 months before calling DIAC. Furthermore, you will need to wait till 16th March before writing to IGIS otherwise they may simply dispense with your complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I didn't say that i contacted DIAC one month ago. I said I only contacted my CO once (by email) and that was MONTHS before (5-6 months). My CO said that my application is undergoing routine checks. That is why i was thinking to call DIAC in 1st week of March or contact IGIS. Regarding the complaint with IGIS, i think the time frame of 12 months is subjected to date of visa application (Not the of CO assignment). Below is the screenshot captured from IGIS website. Please correct me if i am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
