I think you receive the tracking number once you receive an acknowledgment of them receiving your application.

It's usually the city code: eg- ISB/(date of submission/ (your case number) / 1
Centre - Karachi
Submission - 30/07/2013
Acknowledgement - 16/08/2013
RFC- 07/04/2014
VISA stamp- 04/04/2014
Outcome- ALHUMDULILAH visa granted

Yes true but they only gave a small receipt and and there is only one number on it which starts like GWF123456789 , last time when we submitted the application they did give a tracking number as well but this time only small receipt.

My husband received that receipt too, and that needs to be kept safely. Once they acknowledge your application they will give your personal tracking number. Don't worry too much about it. It took them 2 weeks to send the acknowledgment. In sha Allah it will fine.

Yes its not a Big deal I was just curious because they used to give the tracking number at the time of submission but now they have changed the process I believe

My wife got an e-mail and call today regarding the withdrawal of her application.

Sameena, if you're reading this, is the form they send the same as the one which is printed out, then do we post it back to them in Islamabad?

Thanks.

To Saf786

Your in the same situation as me. Have you contacted them asking whether they accepted additional docs or not?

What I did I told them the truth that I went abroad but they still wanted the missing Statements

So i sent the whole year after requesting from bank even tho no transactions were made in some bank Statements

I havent heard still and its been about 7 weeks since submitted additional docs.

Dear All,
I read about your status on this forum please submit one year bank statements and wages slips as well. because I observed they are making quicker decisions rather than the people who submit 6 month bank statements.
