Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office
Have you tried contacting your local MP and making an appointment?

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office
You should call the MP's office and setup an appointment to discuss the problem initially; then you call follow-up by phone calls.
