Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hi guys,

I just got my notes today. I am kinda lost about what exactly to look for in the notes. Any advice on what information in particular I should check.

Thanks as always!

look for the section on assessments.

you're a january 2016 applicant so it's likely that LVO hasn't started anything yet, however you can still get an idea of what's to come by checking to see whether CPC-M has red flagged your relationship. if you see "not started" under the eligibility assessment, then they didn't find anything of concern (though the visa officers at LVO are still required to review your relationship once more). on the other hand, if you see "review required", then they've red flagged your relationship and you can expect the visa officers at LVO to scrutinize your application... in this case they'll almost certainly send out an additional doc request, plus they might take longer to complete the eligibility assessment and possibly schedule an interview in the future.

Thankfully I do not see anywhere that says "Review required" but I did find this following info that I do not understand. Can someone please let me know what it means... Part about Sent-Partner and Submit-Delayed

No its too early to contact MP, they will just tell you that it is still under the average time.
