SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office
- Thread starter TooCareless1
- Start date
u get 2 emails one for transfering ur file n 2nd one when they start processing ur file in london so which one did u get?
Abt eligibility it says reviewing and abt background check it says it's in process
Most of the cases I saw here ppl got first approval of eligibility then background check tht why I am confused actually
Wht you say abt this article I found this 1 on the first page of this form it says tht after eligibility they start background checking
: Spousal sponsorship for all Pakistani applicants at London Visa Office
How the spousal sponsorship works i.e. Steps
London Visa Office Processing time is 11 Months
Dear all just for the clarity i m posting the process of Family sponsorship for understanding of all of thread members.
Phase 1: Sponsor's Approval
1. Sponsorship application submission (AT CPC-Mississauga)
2. First Email: application of sponsorship received by CPC-Mississauga (with in a week time or 10 days)
3. 2nd email: Sponsorship approval and File is sent to London Visa office for further processing (with in 1 month)
or if you are an old applicant (Islamabad Visa Office) then your file is transferred to LVO. whether you get email or not your file is in London.
Phase 2: Visa Office Stage (Principle Applicant or Spouse)
Steps: Eligibility Assessment (Relation is Genuine or not) > Re-Med if required > Back ground checks > PPR 1 > PPR2 > Visa Issued
5. Eligibility Assessment: Additional documents or Interview request from LVO to assess eligibility.(between 5-8 months is my best guess) Interview will most likely held in Islamabad but interviewer will be a person from LVO not from Islamabad (Interview is only to assess whether relationship is genuine or not).
6. background checks will be done after relationship is confirmed by Visa officer.
Passport request is Two step process as Pakistani law does not permit sending passport out of country
7. Passport request 1. PPR1 sending copies of the passport and pictures to LVO (30 days) (immediately send to LVO on given address)
after receiving your copies of passport and pictures. LVO will issue Visa and COPR issued as per your passport and send it to Islamabad
8. Passport Request 2. PPR2. Original passport and return address needs to be sent to Islamabad. (usually 30-45 days after PPR1) Send PPs through TCS visatronics
9. Visa is being pasted on Passport. VISA along with COPR is sent to your return address.
10. You are ready to land.........
Wait it will come this or next month most probably... I am November 7 applicant and got aor 2 on July 4.
Your eligibilty will be done after background check
Your case might be done between Jan 2020- April 2020. If you are lucky maybe earlier. London usually takes 14-18 months for Afghan and Pakistani applicants.
Oh wow... how long... I am not Pakistani, but also in London... but my file transferred only after 8 months being in Sydney. Wonder if it will take even longer to process it..?!
Your might be done sooner as Afghan and Pakistani applicants go thru extra scrutiny and background check takes longer for them. Now they added middle east files to London so there will be a backlog. It is still better than 36 months previously.
I don’t think I will be done sooner since have some red flags go overcome... but just what worries me, 8 months file was in Sydney... and If London with no red flags take 14-18 months, than...
anyway, thank you for your reply! Wishing you fast process and just be close to your spouse! 36 months... OMG!
