For nationals of Pakistan:
Educational certificates and transcripts must be issued by a post-secondary institution that is accredited by the relevant government authority.

does this mean photocopies of education documents attested by notary public or HEC etc ?
please help
There isn't any requirement for educational certificates as per the new application forms.

What is the family booklet? is it still mandatory if you don't have any children, if not should the box in checklist left be blanked or any further explanation would be required for Pakistani applicants?

I think due date is generic. mine was also 12 months ahead of my application date.

Do you see mention of "file held for backoffice/london pilot project" on the last page of notes?

Jan and Feb 2016 were very slow too.. I just had a look at the 2015 applicant spreadsheet.

Our only hope right now is that they wake up in march and start opening july onwards files..

Hi,

No I read on below link that the due date for Eligibility Etc is the maximum time allowed for Visa officer to finalize the application which is 1 year from the date of application. Please check the below link to know how to read the notes.
