SPOUSAL IMMIGRATION - File transferred to London Office from Islamabad

[Waiting2013]

Asalam o Alikum

I sponsored my wife in May 2013 and got confirmation of approval and also in that letter its written that the file has been transferred to CHC Islamabad June 2013.

Whenever i check file status its says decision has been made on your file and file has been transferred to Islamabad CHC.

Can anyone plz plz plz plz and plz tell me where my file will be? In Islamabad or in London Visa office?

For GOD sake plz give me reply for my question. So far did not get any reply or anything from either visa office.

Thanks to all.

You must have been looking at the decision made under "sponsorship application status", look at "permanent resident application status" which would be showing application received considering your timeline.

As other members said, you file will most likely be in LVO and those were transferred in feb 2014 in most cases. You can confirm the same by ordering the GCMS notes

I had emailed both islamabad and london to confirm who has my file.

Today I got a reply from london that they have my file! for onward processing. They failed to mention when it was transferred to them and I got no notice in mail/email.

Hi Samzas,

Can you please write in how many days London replied you?

How did you sent email to them using web form?

I used web form and have not received their reply.

Just want to know how many days they take to reply.

Thanks,

This is very easy to say dnt worry than actually act on it
I really understand the tension u and ur family passing from
But think my brother worries take us no where
And it ll make our waiting more miserable

I also emailed them they replied after 20 days that they dnt have my file
But in many cases they reply within 24 hours

Inshallah u ll hear from them soon
Goodluck dear

Is this a Nikah case? If yes, plans on consummation of marriage and further ceremonies, etc.

Otherwise,
Make sure you and the wife are on the same page, with regards to future plans, life in Canada, etc.
Ensure she knows EVERYTHING about your life, such as job, apartment/house, area, even your salary, how much u made last year, etc.
Likes and dislikes of each other, knowing family members of each other, etc.

She should take to the interview: Attested copies of all her biodata/educational documents and originals. She can submit copes if necessary.
Her original passport, NIC, Marriage Certificate, etc.....
Any further proofs of ongoing relationship, specially chat logs, photos if you have new
Any phone bills if they show numbers, etc. Or skype, vibr, whatsapp, fb, etc.


Please order GCMS right away to see what's the concern/cause

Agreed. I would order notes to determine the officer's reasons for conducting the interview. Besides it may tell you more on your file ....

yeahh broo I would take everything if I were you... this is the one chance where they open your file after ages and you have the opportunity to disclose all .... but your wife would be taking all these documents to Islamabad, right? Unless you are accompanying her (which would be great cause you guys will be able to get the visa on the spot as both passports will be at the officer's disposal). I'd say go as a couple and take everything with you. You might wanna stay there a couple of weeks and them come bak to Canada together ... this way you guys can wrap up stuff together in pak and your wife will feel much support from you while entering the customs booth for the first time.

They have asked almost each and everything
Make a list and arrange each and everything u can do
Its a great idea if u can accompany her
Take out all the forms specailly questionnaire of 6 pages u and ur spouse filled at the time you file ur case
This form have general questions like when did u met? Where did u met?
Who proposed ? Gifts exchanged etc

Goodluck

 

[makamk]

Congrats buddy!
Got a couple of questions...

What do you see on ecas? as in when was it updated and what exactly did it say?
Did you get entire wedding done or just nikkah before applying?

Curious to know so I can evaluate the complexity of my case

Thanks and congrats once again....enjoy ur first Ramadan with 17+ hour long rozay with your spouse

Thanks everyone!! My ecas still says In Process so obviously they havent updated it. Mine was a full rukhsati case. Also sent honeymoon pics.
