Most people on here are from Britain (being Britishexpats), which is a low risk country, Pakistan is a high risk country, so our time lines are likely to be very different to what you might experiance.

Re: Student Visa

Gosh...9 months is a long time. Mine took just 4 weeks (UK). That was 4.5 years ago so may be different now though.
