Well I had a different experience....not from Pakistani embassy but a different situation in diplomatic area ...twice - once was being treated like a VIP coz of my work second was being treated like a VIP coz of my words
Well the guy is talking about Australia...not every guy is the same....And knowing another 2 Pakistani embassador's family personally....I wont be surprised if Australian guy really did face insults!
I prefer the Omani ambassadors and Saudi one (in country xyz)...both of who were family friends and they would take out the time to get to know their own people (and these are countries where they dont pay tax like in Pakistan which pays for these rich brats lifestyle) - I know the Saudi one actually has a celebration to welcome students on scholarship from his country - some from my course went so got to see what some embassies are doing for their people and then we have Pakistani embassies - whole new level....
Hmm, don't know man. Yes we have missions all over the world at all important places. In UK, when i was going for my passport renewal, i was like, fcuk man, this is gonna be all bribe and desi usual shyt again. So i had a contact in the embassy to take care, and he said, bro, the system is clean, just go there by 10 am and you will be sorted. If there are any problems, let me know. I was like okay, and since i was coming in by train from another city, i didn't know what to expect. Surprisingly the process was very smooth. I didn't need to call the contact and was out of the place by 11am.
There were some idiots trying to get ahead of the queue, and i remember an embassy official explaining that you will be
called by the number on your ticket. No one will be allowed to go ahead. It happened fine for me.
In this case, we don't know the facts. Like i said, if he wants to visit Pakistan, then he should get a NICOP or maintain his Pakistani Passport for himself and his family. I believe there is some citizenship route for kids of Pakistani citizens born abroad. Not sure though.
This is a typical problem, where the mother and father are dual nationals, the kids are not. So kids need visa or approval to visit, something like that.
His visa isnt refused....Watch the video...His passport is held against his wishes (maybe he didnt wish to apply anymore after being in a fight with the ambassador) and a receipt given to him AS WELL AS THE JUDGEMENT that it will be refused - now tell me where in the world does this happen?
Also, about keeping the passport, each embassy has different rules that they follow. For example, i applied for US visa in Karachi, they can return the passport to you if you want to get another visa application done somewhere else, and if your visa is approved by the Americans, they call you for your passport to be sent to them so they can add the sticker.
UK on the other hand doesn't do that.....if you request your passport back, i believe your application is cancelled.
