UK visa office in Pakistan

The UK visa office in Pakistan is UK's 4th largest and the worst in the world. Many people have been rejected their visas for no reasons despite providing enough evidence. It seems as if the Entry Clearance Officers (ECO) are either blind or retards

I decided to apply for a visit visa once and ended up spending £1200 and wasting 9 months. I wanted to go on holidays to UK and meet up with my family members living there. Despite providing enough , my request was rejected. The reasons according to them were that 

1. i am married despite the fact that i wrote 'single' on the application form

2. that i have £2000 with me but my bank statement says otherwise, i had only mentioned that i have £200.

3. that i haven't provided enough evidence for financial assistance, i provided letters from my dad and my sponsor saying that they will support me along with their bank statements.

I had to apply for an appeal against this decision in the UK and had to pay a large fee. The court decided in my favor and i got a visa but i am deeply frustrated and disappointed by the people at the UK visa office for ignoring all the evidence i had provided them. This has been the worse experience of my life. UK visa office sucks big time. i have started this blog so that nobody else has to go through the pain which i went through. if you want to visit any country, go to Malaysia or Dubai, UK is off limits for us Pakistani people.
