i got my request today to upload Sched A and PCC.

They are also asking to upload a translation of CNIC. i think because the back of it has the address in Urdu.

Hey all...
i am a complete newbie here; i'll appreciate a lot if taken through the whole process as a beginner please.

i've read many posts in this forum but they are all related to queries after submitting the visa applictaion but they arent helping me much now as i have a different issue.

so i (in Islamabad) am engaged to be married in the fall next year in shaa Allah. My fiance/ sponsor is a Canadian citizen (in Mississauga) and employed.
but i am completely confused as to what to go for... a nikah only and then submitting my application or is the rukhsati better/ important in faster processing of my visa application. because i've heard from a couple of applicants that they now require pictures of rukhsati and the couple living together.
kindly let me know what is the fastest way to get a spouse visa.

secondly some of my friends who got married 3-4 years back got a visit visa before their marriage, went off to canada with their husbands along right away and submitted their spouse visa applications from canada. is this method better considering i still have around 7-8 months until my marriage.

kindly enlighten me between these three choices for a fastest way to getting to live with my husband:
1. visit visa first and then wedding
2. nikah and then application submission
3. nikah and rukhsati then application submission

your help will be much appreciated....thanks!!

We can all only give our opinions on this.

1. visit visa and then wedding is good if you can get a visit visa, then you can come back with your spouse and apply inland.

2. nikah and then app submission as nikah only has been known to take longer or they give more headache. they ask for rukhsati photos etc.

3. this option is better than nikkah only app submission. if you cannot get a visit visa before marriage then do this.

from what i have read from various posts nikkah only cases take longer.

Overall 7 to 9 months from date of app received. Just sit tight for now and relax.
