SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Yes, I am but I don't want to check it regularly as we should receive an email if there are any updates etc.
I tried sending an email to my MP yesterday but didn't receive a response so I just sent a follow-up today. Let's see what happens :-\

they're working. i see 3 DMs so far for the month of august (2 october and 1 november).

it's just really unfortunate that all but one november applicant got doc requests. this makes it difficult for us to gauge the VO's progress, and i think this is where the hold up is. still, it's good to know they've been working on the outstanding october apps in the mean time. my concern now is how long they're going to take to get around to my beloved december group. i hope it happens some time next week, or at the very least before september 1st.

did u get anything from LVO after processing started? u got AOR2 after processing started?

thanks

I got Email (SA) on June 30 that files has been transferred to LVO.

On July 12, LVO emailed that they received application and asked me to resend 2 photographs as previous one were not correct. So this was AOR2 for me.

the november DM is pakistani.

also they don't differentiate apps by PA nationality. the timelines for pakistanis and non-pakistanis being processed at LVO appear to be the same.

I realize that they don't differentiate however, minority belongs to Pakistani's on that spreadsheet. I also realize that you're trying to provide comfort to us all and we appreciate that. I just want to see more movement than what I'm noticing! ???

Exactly!! From what I've read, CIC is mostly requesting communication proof, validation of Nikkah or re-meds. Wouldn't it be safe for November/December to submit these (minus re-meds) voluntarily?

I have noticed that its takes exactly the same time for those who send documents voluntarily and for those who get a document request.if u see rsk8 timeline she send the document voluntarily but the only benefit she got from them was by not getting any requests.the processing time for her was same as for others getting requests.its my own opinion from what i have seen in oct applicants. So i think better to wait for document request at least from this we will get to know that they are working on our file

So essentially there's no way to beat CIC at this waiting game.

Unfortunately yes..there are other things that happens in their office like amount of applications they recieve, number of officers in the officer.holidays etc which can affect the processing time we cannot do anything on this.

One question... In my GCMS notes, its written that validity date of medical is February. It means it will expire on february? although I have appeared for medical on 12th Nov

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

We know that there were approx 300 applications for the months of nov plus some of the oct applications and the rest of 2013,2014,2015 applicationsas well so this will take some time for them to get over it.we can just hope and pray for the best and speedy process..one more thing which i have noticed and is a good thing for us is that they do open the applications of the next month before completing the applications of the current one.there were still some of the oct applicants remaining and they opened nov applicants so i am hopeful that once we see some of the prr from the month of nov we surely will see some movement in dec aplicants as well

My medical is also exipring in nov and in my gcms notes it says valid till feb. I dont know whether they extend it or not but i have seen applicants who get remedical even before completion of 12 months.
