Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Can someone please suggest me the best possible way to compress the size of photos?
Also, is copy pasting chat history from facebook and whatsapp sufficient enough? Or should i screenshot? And if screenshot then How can i reduce the size of document containing screenshots?

Thank you very much for the help!!

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Thanks Khan for the reply i hope it is processed quickly. It shouldn't take more time because of the depend i hope as he doesn't have any documents yet except for birth certificate and no background check aswell.

I would like to know what other think about our case

is it straight forward and can be processed quickly? following are the details of my case?

I got pr in late 2013 went back and married in early 2014 after that i stayed in pakistan with my wife for around 2 and half years. During this time we had our son who is around 10 months old now. We submitted all the right documents requested by immigration office. We didn't had proof of conversation as we lived together but we had tons of pictures to proof this. We sent around 100 pictures as proof. Which covered all 2 and half years we stayed to gather in pakistan. It included, Wedding pictures,honeymoon,vacations, family events, cousins wedding, Son's birth, etc. We think that these pictures along with all the right official documents are the main strong proof of our relationship. I included maintaining contact records like ,phone calls, messages, whatsapp, skype calls screenshots and logs as proof, from the date i came to canada.

What do you guys think about our case? is it straight forward and can be fast tracked? Does anyone had a similar case before? as you all know its very difficult to stay away from your child and wife. My son is only 10 months old and don't want to miss seeing him growing up Sad.

Thanks

I was told you need screen shots for everything. The way I did it is I took the screens shots and then inserted them to each page in Microsoft Word. You can then resize the photos in Microsoft word to fit 2, 3 or 4 screen shot photos. If the "file size" is big u might need to convert the screenshots into to a simpler format like jpeg or gif before inserting them. Hope that helps :D

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello Everyone

ITEMS TO BRING WITH YOU TO INTERVIEW

1. Updated Schedule A forms for you and each dependant, whether accompanying or not.

2. Background documents including any documents to support your answers in the Background/Declaration form (schedule 1)

3. Supplementary Information - Your Travels Forms (IMM 5562) for you and each dependant.

4. Additional Family Information Forms (IMM 5406)

5. Identity and civil status documents for you and your spouse or common-law partner.

6. Children’s information including their birth certificates

7. Police certificates

8. Travel documents and passport.

9. Education documents. Please bring your original educational credentials.

10. Evidence of employment. Please bring a copy of your personal resume (CV) showing your previous work experience and duties, your current and previous employment contracts and reference letters from employers on company letterhead paper which describe your duties and responsibilities. Any employment letters must clearly indicate the full name, title, business address, telephone and fax numbers of the signatory.

My case is the same... I have a son who is 2 yrs old MashaAllah and i lived with my husband the past 2 years... I sponsored my husband in november 2015 and have submitted proofs like you and also additional docs were requested in july which have been sent... I was told by my MP to wait until the last weeks of August as my time is upto 13 months... I am still waiting for them to request ppr or a DM.. I hope it comes soon by Allah's grace... I don't know how fast do they process even though you have a child but its an authentic proof for sure... I will pray for you and remember me in your prayers as well..... Hope for the best! :)

i see you received your doc request on july 5th. starting on august 5th, start checking your application status daily through MyCIC. it might take 1-2 weeks, but you should see your application's eligibility status change to "passed" IF the visa officer does not see any red flags. once you've passed eligibility, tell your husband to start packing because he'll get his PPR very soon. exceptions are when the applicant has stayed in various other countries besides pakistan and requires a more extensive background check.

insha allah we should see some PPRs for november applicants within the next 2-3 weeks.

I really hope so too flx2015... but u see the problem is that i was not able to link my application through MYCIC so i didn't bother to do it again.. Waiting through the old ECAS conventional way them telling us... So i just hope it will be sooner as you say... btw remember me in your prayers.... :)

hey! if:
1. u've submitted ample proofs
2. not missed any forms
3. not missed any translations/attesting of docs
4.no potential red flags
5. no interview is meant to be scheduled
6. meds dont expire

u'l most likely hear something at the 8.5-9 month mark counting from the start of ur app. that's the trend these days given the 5-6 points are clear that i mentioned. otherwise, docs request, remeds, interviews can add a month or two to ur file.
i applied end of oct, got cleared outta this blackhole (visa stamped & returned) by mid july. u can do the math :p

Oh, super happy for you, congrats btw! Insha'Allah, I will confirm and clear the forms, I leave for Pakistan in a month and will just come back with my hubby.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Guys can u please let me know that taking screenshots of ongoing communication must only be from so called "famous apps" viber fb whatsapp??
I am asking because i call my husband through a different app which calls on canada mobile number for free.. So is that authentic to send as proof in screenshots?
Also that app uses random different numbers from my side (from which my husband receives call)

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Slam Everyone.

AlhamdoLillah got my sponsorship approval yesterday with below are my timelines.

Application submitted = 1st Jun 2016
Acknowledgement Email = 27th Jun 2016
Sponsorship Approval = 3 Aug 2016
Case now moved to London Office

Does it mean my application is complete and verified from all perspective and now I don't fear any objection in application or any additional document requirement?

Also Do I need to get my educational documents assessed from ECA. Will it benefit? (Currently photocopies submitted)?
