Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

lets say someone comes from a religious conservative family. They don't have mixed gathering in marriage halls neither there are some good pics, however they can provide post-wedding pictures. Does this mean this person will get the family sponsorship rejected? or at maximum they will call for an interview.

also generally how long is the interview que, and if the husband is in Canada and wife is in Pakistan does the husband needs to come to Pakistan and attend interview with wife?

Lol...Why were you in a bad mood F.M?

Like Flx said in an earlier post, the serious looking faces on wedding/walima/mehndi days are not a reason for concern. I was in a veil through out my mehndi but I still sent those pics in...hoping for the best!

I was in a bad mood because of my makeup. ;) i hated my makeup and it spoiled my function and all the pics. :mad:

No i don't think so..because even today a lot marriages are arranged in Pakistan and in which both the bride and groom had no contact before marriage. and LVO is well aware of the our culture. having a mixed gathering isnt a guarantee that the case will b processed faster than other. There are many other things which leads to interview and in a more severe case a rejection. e.g differences in age, religion etc
The interview takes additional 1 year and sometimes 15-18 months. and if a wife is called for an interview than the presence of husband is not compulsory however if the husband is present at the time of interview it is a plus point for both of them as far as i have heard.

i don't believe so, at least not for spousal apps. my wife filled in a specific profession on her app, but in the gcms notes all they have there is "new worker" or something.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Lol, it was fun reading through the last few posts regarding the wedding pics :D I also don't think the facial expression is a concern as there are so many varying circumstances when it comes to wedding events.

Anyways,

I finally received the AOR email from CIC letting me know they've received my file at CPC-Miss. Next step from here is SA + file transfer, correct?

Also, if I wanted to voluntarily send a few more additional documents, is now a good time to send them to CPC-Miss. or wait until the file is transferred to LVO?

And by what method? Specific case inquiry, direct mail?

lol aww...That's the reason I made sure to be very specific about what I needed done to the 'celeb' make-up artist with the disclaimer that if I don't like, I'll wash it right away. She knew my vision Alhamdullilah! I was very scared of the make-up Pakistani make-up artist are known for to look whiter than Casper ???

My Walima look wasn't what I wanted from the same artist since my MIL gave few directions ::) but Alhamdullilah, my hubby was making me feel like a million bucks so I couldn't care at that point ;D

I want to re-do the Walima once my hubby comes inshallah ;D

correct, SA and file transfer are next. if you want to send additional docs, wait until the PR side in ECAS shows the line "we started working on XXXXX's application". from that point onward, CPC-M will be out of the picture and anything you need to send should go straight to LVO unless otherwise requested. use the case specific enquiry form to send any additional docs.

i just want to add that case specific enquiries are actually just preformatted emails that get sent to the same LVO email address. the reason they have case specific enquiries is to ensure that the enquirer provides all the necessary information such as UCI/file#.

Thanks a lot for your information. Just one quick question. In last page it is asking for documents to attach and consent form. Do I have to attach consent Form and do my spouse(PA) has to assign on consent form and what other documents I have to attach ? Please help me so I can submit my GCMS notes.
