    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office This is one perspective on PIA. My close friend recently traveled from Pakistan to Canada to finish her degree and then returned this week. She chose PIA both ways (direct) and had only good things to say about it...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office Same happened with mine under the "Sponsorship Application Status"- Decision Made. But I think this is just for the sponsor not for the applicant. But we both got approved long ago in August so this is just a late update on the ECAS...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office Even if you completed the Mehndi ceremony separately you should still include photos. I say this because it is still a tradition in Pakistan and I am sure they know that historically it was done by both families separately. So I don't...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office MP's are useless because their wives. children are already with them. We need a minister who knows what its like to live away from someone and the difficulties/barriers there are in order to get back with them. Its like appointing me the...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office There are basically 2 burning questions 1) Why was LVO so incredibly fast from mid-late 2015. (Apps being processing in 4-6 months with 1 app at 3 months)? 2) Why has it slowed down now? 2nd question is more relevant. I wish somehow...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office The problem is that no one stands up for our rights. Our MP's come to our places of worship, tell us stories, try to relate to us in some vague fashion just to garner our vote. But do they do anything for us in reality? Same with our...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office The two-tier system (pay more, get here faster) is not only discriminatory but stupid. I mean, who applies to sponsor their beloved spouse with the intention that "yes, I will choose this slower pathway because I love my wife/husband so...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office Should I add that the Delhi office sees 25% fraud cases on average. So if 1000 applications were submitted, 250 of them were fake cases. So the whole issue of offices taking more time for "background checks" is negated when we see...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office I think (and this is just my opinion) that the best form of communication proof is call durations and screen shots of how many calls you have made. I think a lot of people insist on personal messages, either BBM, Facebook etc, but I...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office I feel for you flx2015. Don't get bogged down with what you read on the forum. The fact that your family did not go to Pakistan for the wedding is NOT a problem if you explained it extremely well. And knowing you, I'm sure you did...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office They don't even mention "Spousal Sponsorship or immigration in general" on the survery. "Immigration" apprears neither under |What’s your top priority for the Liberal team as Parliament resumes this Fall?| nor under |Which Liberal...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office Yup. biggest mystery. Why were they so fast before election time from pretty much March 2015 onwards to November 2015 (1 Month after elections). After that, NOTHING. It doesn't make sense as to why they were in a hurry to get...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office You should have asked them if they were willing to process your application quickly, say, in a couple of days, then perhaps you might be interested :P

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office Just to continue with what Snowy was saying, there is no required income for spousal sponsorship. That being said, there is a question in IMM3907E which asks something relating to "plans you and your spouse have made for your...

    Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office It's not the rukhsati photos in general that I am concerned about. Because on rukhsati day, when you are taking pics with family on stage etc, you should be smiling and that is the expectation. However...
