Thank you everyone for your support, help and guidance. Some of the experiences that I would like to share here, about which I myself was very confused.

1 - You don't need to get PCC from every city where you have been living. Just a PCC from the current city is enough. I wanted to send the PCC"s from all the cities where I have been living but it was getting much time so I sent PCC from only current city.

2 - If you are in Pakistan, you don't need birth certificate. Family Registration Certificate issued by NADRA is acceptable.

3 - While filling in form 80 or any other form, give as much information as possible and don't use abbreviation like for the names of universities, names of degrees (e.g don't write MCS instead of Master of Computer Science) etc. I was asked to resend form 80 because of that in November although I had sent the form 80 along with my application.

4 - Give all the information even if it is not relevant. It makes the job of CO easier and esp for ACS to assess your skills. e.g I have done B.A in Journalism and Education but I mentioned it as well so that ACS and CO may know what I had been doing during that time.

5 - While filling in form 80, make it sure that there are no gaps after you completed your school. if you were doing nothing for 2 years for example, mention that you were doing nothing for that time. If your form 80 has gaps, then usually CO asks you to resend form 80 and that delays the processing a lot.

Ok friends, thanks once again and keep praying for me.
