Just returned after visiting my wife in Pakistan

I have just returned from a 3 week visit to Pakistan. Celebrated Eid, attended wedding in the family and soaked in monsoon rain many times. But it was sad departure leaving my wife once again and not knowing when we will meet again and without a firm expectation of when this wait will end. I know it is just the begining of process for us but I think being older makes us more impatient. For sure so many people here have been waiting patiently for so long and I pray and wish for all of you success and quick union with your spouses.

I do want to send some update to CHC Islamabad that would include proof of my travel and the photos with my wife including the pictures at family wedding. I would like to hear from someone about how to send the stuff...do I need to send my boarding card or copies of it. How many pictures should be sufficient and do I need a cover letter with all the stuff I want to send.

Also, we are planning to apply for visitor visa for my wife. I have read on this forum that we should have strong supporting documents of her connections to Pakistan to staisfy the visa officer that she would return. No matter how strong connections to Pakistan, once she has applied for spousal immigration, she has already demonstrated that she is ready to abandon all the connections and immigrate to Canada. Any how, she has a good stable job as medical doctor; perhaps that should be sufficient or do we need to add more supporting documents. I would very much appreciate advice and comments from anyone.

Re: Just returned after visiting my wife in Pakistan

For proofs you can either scan and email all to your wife; she can then print it and TCS it to Pakistan for RS120. Or you can send it directly to Islamabad using FedEX but that would cost you quite a bit. Send your proof of visit including copy of your ticket, boarding pass, passport stamps, include updated calls history, emails etc. For pictures together 20-25 is more than enough just include a good representation of you two, your families and friends, outings together, dinners etc...

For visit visa some one else might be able to answer better who has been here before. I think she has a strong working background so she shouldn't have any problems getting a visit visa...

I hate conservatives! Never have and never will vote for them. You guys all please make an effort to go out and vote next time and try to make a change. People who don't go out and vote have no right to complain...
