Honestly i think they just increased it because they were probably getting too many emails from us. But i still believe that they will be processing them in about 15 months. that's the timeline that i was given by the LVO.

I don't think its too many emails. I think its because a lot of old cases had been transferred from Islamabad. But nevertheless its still a big concern.
Another issue is that these stats are reflective of ALL spouse cases that are going through LVO. So it will be more difficult to get a true picture of processing times from CIC for Pakistan applicants.
If they took out the UK citizens in the equation, the stats published would be even worse.

ATTENTION PLEASE:

There is a spreadsheet for timelines of spouse sponsorship cases for London Visa Office.
The problem is there very few Pakistanis that have provided their timeline details and also certain years where nationality of PA not identified.
I would like to compile timelines specifically for Pakistan applicants.
If you are sponsoring a spouse that is a Pakistan applicant, please PM me your timeline details.

-Date application received in Mississauga:
-Date of first AOR:
-Date of sponsor approval:
-Which office is processing Phase 2 of your application (will say on your sponsor approval letter/email):
-Date(s) of any other requests you've had:
-Re-Med request:
-Interview:
-Citizenship of principal applicant:
-Sponsor is PR or Canadian Citizen:
-Current location of the principal applicant- closest major city is fine if you don't want to be too specific!:

Thanks kindly.

Thank you for taking the time to look over this letter. As you know ____ is booked for an interview at the Islamabad high commission office on March, 18 2015.
On December 19th 2014 we received a letter from you asking us to perform rukhsati within 30 days. At this time we had asked for an extension but we did not receive any.
We are writing you this letter to inform you about some important details about rukhsati and valeema that as you have already been informed took place January 14th and 15th of 2015. We are informing you of these now so that if you require any additional information, we will make sure to attach it at the time of interview.

A few immediate family members from both _________ side were unable to attend the events.

______ was unable to travel due to health conditions.
_______ got a new job. Due to such circumstances he was unable to book time off.
_______ also was unable to book time off work in such short notice.
________who resides in england could not come due to health reasons.
________ who resides in dubai was unable to come due to personal circumstances.
________ who resides in england could not come due to short notice.

Please also be advised that during the time ______was in Pakistan a friend of ____ parents had passed away. They both went out of city after the wedding for a couple of weeks. That is why there is no pictures with them after the wedding. However, pictures with other family members will be brought to the interview.
Lastly, a letter from _____ job will be brought to the interview, indicating why she was unable to take extended time off work.
If you need any evidence/proof of the above information please let us know as soon as possible so that it can be brought to the interview.
I hope the above information is enough for you to understand the circumstances of the missing information.
Thank you once again for taking the time out to read this. We will also bring a copy of this letter to the interview as well.

i just came back from rukhsati and a lot of family members were unable to attend.
i typed up a letter for lvo, just need some advice if its a good idea to send this before the interview or not?

The blank spots are obviously where the names go
Any advice would be great!

My spouse went for her re-medical and the IMO center requested for polio vaccination document to be submitted as well.
This request was not mentioned in the email from Delhi's office. Can someone shed some light if the IMO office will not submit the medical documents until they receive the polio certificate.
I was informed they can get the drops at the airport.

Thats a very good news to you. You are verly lucky. Well I think it will take 4-6 weeks top before decisions made and PPR. Well, medical is usually valid for 1 year but they extend to 15-18 months, depend on the case. So dont worry about that, if they want it they will aske you...
