SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

[Malik1983]

Does anyone know how to put whatsapp chats into good format that shows emojis and everything? I tried putting it on the notepad but its all messed up.. thanx in advance. Also how much communication proof is enough to take on the interview? Do they keep it or just glance at it?

Take the screen shots of chat and put 4 on a page and take color printouts.

Can you please tell us what did you bring with you at interview? what proofs etc

Sure thing. I followed the list of info just as they required:

-- Phone number for Sponsor in Canada (I was there physically so was kinda irrelevant)
-- Marriage photos (nikah and valima) - we tagged names and location on about 50 or so photos, including my pics with her family and vice versa, pics of the ritual location (masjid/imambargah/maulanas) and cultural rites (such as sehra for me, doodh pilai by wife's brother and holding the Quran)
-- Post wedding photos (added pics we took when we went out every time I visited her. Also added screenshots of fb posts we made on each other's birthdays and anniversary
-- Updated police certificate
-- Proof of relation (this was the main area where we gathered stuff )
-- Phone bills for the last 6 months with pen markings to show her number, her dad and brother's number as and when called
-- Emails we exchanged over the past year or so.. just a few for sample
-- Whatsapp call logs. I just took screenshot of the call log ( took about 40 screenshots spanning 6 months of calls on sample basis. Then printed them as 4 photos per page. So essentially a 10 page doc with 4 screenshots per page full of calls to my wife.
-- Whatsapp chat log. Imported to word and it was too long as it extracted about 10 months. Took 2 pages per month as sample so 20 pages.
-- Original bills from hotel stays when I used to come to see the wife (didnt have any family in karachi - might not be relevant to all)

-- Proof of sponsor visits -- scanned entry exit stamps and also scanned ticket stubs for all trips
-- Updated version of forms. Some areas such as education and personal history had less space so attached an excel sheet.

Hope that helps.

As you would see in the spreadsheet, this was 2nd marriage case for my wife. I guess they had some confusion with dates of her first marriage and proceeding documents of divorce, so in the notes it said that an interview was recommended.

you will first get a text file .. save it on your desktop and open it up with WORD .. Once you do that, you will get a popup .. play around with the codes .. i believe the one i selected was unicode something .. started with a U .. sorry, don't remember much .. just start selecting from the top and you will see in the preview the emos etc ..

Hey guys...
Any applicants of April 2017 ????

We are asked for additional documents and same were submitted a couple of weeks back. My medical will expire in May 2018. Is this a positive sign if they required additional documents? Does it mean they are working on my file and want to make a decision before medical expires.

I ordered notes in Jan 2018 and received on Feb 22nd but until yesterday it was showing in GCKey "We need additional documents" which is a glitch according to everyone in this forum.
Today my GCKey updated with this
