Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Thanks friends....

I guess the best trick is to keep visa office focused on your case by sending new proofs and also sending queries (CSE)

Make them work on our files: lol :p :p

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Salam everyone :)

I am a Canadian Citizen and my wife lives in Karachi, Pakistan. We had Nikkah only in Jan 2014 and submitted all the paperwork to Mississauga in early June 2014. I am currently waiting for approval for stage 1. Our Rukhsati and Valima is planned for January 2015.

My wife and I have been engaged since 2009 and I have visited Pakistan many times since and have many pictures together attending weddings and just going out. Included in those pictures are many family members. I also have many call logs and email conversations as proof.

My 2 questions are:

1) Since my case is Nikkah only will there be a letter of objection even with many pictures together (we also had a big Nikkah reception in Karachi attended by all family members) and proof of communication.

2) If I happen to have my Rukhsati and Valima before they ask for further proof should I send them the proof anyway or wait until they ask. Also what if they contact me before the Rukhsati and ask for proof but the Rukhsati is still a few months away.

Please advise
Thank you,

Thank you,
Dont worry about it. It is in your interest that how would you present your case to CIC all you need to do fill out your forms accurately and smartly with as much information as possible. If you had a reception then you should and can attach 15/20 photographs to further support your case. I don't see any objection if you have provided all the required documents with your complete application.
Good luck

Thank you,
Walaikum Assalam,
1. There won't be any "objection" but they will ask you to do Rukhsati. They care about two things, Nikah and Rukhsati. Doesn't matter how lavish your Nikah ceremony was and how many people attended, if you didn't do rukhsati they will ask you for it. Your pre-marraige comms will play a role in establishing the progression of relationship but not with legitimacy of your sponsorship.

2.If you manage to do Rukhsati and valima before they ask for it, send them pics, invitation cards etc asap. This will possibly save you some time. If they contact before you do your rukhsati they will most likely give you a set amount of time to get it done and send them proof.

Don't fall for people advising you to play it "smart", misrepresentation is the worst thing that can happen to your file. Go through this forum and you will find all they care about is Nikah and rukhsati. At the end of the day either you convince them why you haven't done rukhsati or get it done when they ask you nicely.

There is nothing to be afraid of, you haven't done rukhsati and that is fine. Just have a plan to get it done in near future.

Whew,
Thats a relief! Thanks for the fast response.

I have another question. Is the chance of being called to an interview high for my wife? If I manage to send them proof of Rukhsati before they contact me is that another way to avoid an interview?

Thanks again

Yes chances of interview are more with a nikah only case. Getting rukhsati done and sending proof is the only way to get out of interview queue.
Keep record of your conversations via whatsapp, logs of phone calls and money transfer receipts for proof of continuation of relationship that you can send with proof of rukhsati.

I was speaking to my immigration lawyer... and they said as long you have a lot of proof of on going relationship, plus nikah and pictures with you guys together. then they will not have a problem.

They only tell you to go back for a rukhsuti and send you for an interview if you don't have enough proof. such as pictures, on going relationship proof. such as phones bills, money transfers, emails, text messages, wedding invitations... By the sounds of it, you should be good! Just do inform them that you PLAN on doing this afterwards and in shaa Allah they won't have any problems.

My immigration lawyer gave me an example of a few cases that have gone through perfectly fine....

What i attached with mine was

- 5 years worth of phone bills, text messages, emails and skype conversations
- Pictures of my Nikah and Nikah Reception, Invitation, Receipt of the hall and how many people attended. Receipt of the rings and presents given. Gift invoices... plus wrote a detailed letter on why rukhsuti wasn't done and when we plan to get that done!

I am also a Nikah only case, and let me tell you i was freakkkeddd out.... until i sat down with my lawyer last week and she explained it very well to me, that it shouldn't be a problem. If you happen to have the rukhsuti before they even ask, send them the proof! No harm in that! Most of all just continue doing dua...bcuz there is nothing more powerful then that! Hope everything goes well for you both! In shaa Allah! :)

Thank you Sponsorfa27 for your detailed answer.
I must say Im relieved to read that as we also submitted lots of proof of ongoing relationship and I also gave detailed explanation of why we are doing Rukhsati after. Inshallah it will work out both for us and for you guys :).

I got another question. Now that everything goes through the London Visa Office is the timeline 11 months or is it still 32 months because of Pakistani applicant?

Thanks

Sweet thanks for your help! Im glad its 11 months now. The 32 months thing was freaking me out. In fact thats the only reason we did Nikkah before because of the long wait times. Guess we should have waited :p lol.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello.
Where does one find the
"Send them a Case specific Inquiry dost. That is what we can do, asking about our file. order Notes as well."
Is this a specific from from the CIC website, I had one CIC telephone rep tell me there was such a form, then did not provide me where to find it, before transferring my call to the another area. I have had another CIC telephone rep tell me there is no such form, after I called back realizing the CIC rep did not tell me how to get the form.

Any information or pointer to this form is appreaciated.
We applied in October 2011 Spousal Sponsorship In Canada and our file was transferred to an CIC Inland office in February 2014...going onto three years. how depressing.

Again, I'm looking for the Case Specific Inquiry

Best Regards to all, I hope you receive your sponsorship approved soon.

Sounds Great. So The way I see it will not bring any problems in the application processing???? Just wanted to make sure that I understand and be prepared in case there might be any questionsing (If I am making a decision to be with my spouse).
If your a Canadian Citizen by birth you can go to Pakistan to live there are Visa Extensions and other ways. Its always good to let them know that you are here with your spouse and always register with Canadian Government that you are in Pakistan in case something happens here God Forbid. As a foreigner you must register with the Local Police as well so they keep alert in case you are Kidnapped God Forbid. I`m not trying to scare you. But I have been coming here since 2010 and have lived here many times over a year at times. Its always best to be aware of all things. It will also make your case stronger. Send CIC Immigration Islamabad a photo copy of your boarding pass. Happy Travels
In Sha Allah
