Yes I was the lucky one, two of my other firends also got it but one friend got denied so it's very random, but for sure they favour spouses with good education backgrounds and sponsors with professional jobs.

Even with visa your spouse will have to exit every six months after a while it becomes very difficult with no medical coverage and it is expensive to exit. I am not discouraging you but it is a short term solution and 3 years waiting for PR is too long on visitor status.

Good luck

Thats great. Thanx, I am going to apply for the trv soon

Im getting cold flashes in my body ??? Whats going on

Marium I didn't mean to scare you or anything ... its just ... all files are haphazardly being shot off in different directions. No need to get worried. As soon as we start hearing from folks in the next few weeks we'll get a slight idea of what's going on ... I have a gut feeling London won't be like Ottawa ... when our files went to Ottawa the website didn't say anything about them processing permanent residence applications from Pakistan ... but London does and they are official; therefore, the 11 month (no grandfather clause though) period applies when files are sent to London.

I'm sure you file along with others will also move to London since Islamabad no longer is handling them. There are tons of files so they may be sending those in batches.

Ok i gt reply frm london office that my file is transfrd to london. . . Kahin bhe bhejo bt start processng filez cic . .Ya Allah! Help

Yeah ... I guess they are planning internally how to allocate the new flow of files from Islamabad and that may take a while but when the officers are assigned and workload is ready for execution we'll start hearing back from them soon ... and much faster than Islamabad.
