Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hey quick question.

Does the medical expire after one year since it was done?
If so, my medical expires on March 17, 2015. Thus, am i suppose to receive remed request before the expiry date (March 17) or can LVO request after the expiry date too?

Thanks.

@ Issa

Brother your spreadsheet is amazing.

After the good news from AdilSuleman also getting remed request, now its August transfers next and I am in the next 4, don't know how that lucky bloke IsmailNauroz got it so early. :). I have PMed one member @ shinningstar, to get an update from him. Whether he got any correspondence or not.
Brother I also can't believe I was on holidays and all of sudden I got the email of remed. Shukhar Allah let's hope they finalise the process .. Ecas still shows application received... Hope everyone files get finalise ASAP. It's so hard to live without spouse. Hope for the best :)

It for sure reached the right place.
after mine reached there they sent it for a review then made the decision of the interview.

Dont worry! save a copy of the tracking page tho, As a confirmation that it reached there.

I did that only because if they say they didnt receive it for whatever reason. I have the proof. :)

It is utter buffoonery on their part to contact my wife and not the lawyer. She signed a power of attorney which stated that all correspondence visa related should be handled by our immigration lawyer. They completely ignored it and contacted her anyway. We will reply to them and reserve a medical date asap. Again goes to show that immigration in those parts is being managed by a pack of clueless monkeys.
LOL at clueless monkeys!!

It made me laugh out loud! :)

Thats exactly what they are!

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Ok thanks a lot.
Yes I am the sponsor.
I am PR.
My application was received in Mississauga on Feb 6th, 2015.

Can you please add my data to the spreadsheet?


Mercy24 said:
The CIC published processing times are based on statistics calculated from the previous 12 months and they have been largely distorted because of a backlog of old case files transferred from ISB that have been closed at LVO.
To get a sense of current processing times and monitor trends, you could look at the actual cases of Pakistan applicants.
To be added to the spreadsheet, I would need the following details:
Are you the sponsor?
Is sponsor Canadian Citizen or PR?
Application received in Mississauga:
Stage 1 Sponsor Approval:
"In Process" on ECAS (Stage 2):
Decision Made (Stage 2):


Kind regards,
Mercy24

@ Brother Adiiii

Please don't misquote anyone and increase their frustration by telling them something which is factually not true.

@ Maryam

The average time now a days from date of submission to getting Visa is around 14 to 16 months if everything goes well. Well means you have sent all the proofs, you have sent correct Nikkah nama etc, you doesn't get interview request.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Salaam everyone, we received our SA on 30 july 2014 stating that our file has been transferred to LVO. Last week we voluntarily sent additional document (proof of rukhsati and honeymoon etc.) as ours was nikkah only case. But so far we have not received any correspondence from LVO. Our ecas is just showing application and medicals received. We are worried as almost all ppl who received SA during July has received some sort of correspondance. What could be the reason for this delay? even for nikkah only cases, they are asking for further proofs etc. We just submitted the Nadra wala nikkah nama but even then one applicant received the request to send urdu nikkah nama with translation. Any idea? I will apply for my notes today. I hope they haven’t put us in interview queue.

We only submitted marriage certificate from Nadra. But as per members here, Urdu nikkAh Nama with translation has to be submitted. We will submit Urdu nikkAh Nama soon. Has your ecas status changed ?

Dear All,

Some members are asking about GCMS/ATIP notes and how can we order that.
Any Canadian Citizen or Permanent resident can request online on behalf of anyone (Fee5$)
arrange 4 things first:

1. Scan of PR card or PassPort scan
2. Credit card
3. Scanned Consent form of release of info signed by your spouse

here is link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5744E.pdf

To Fill Form :

The form updated in Oct 2014, so here is the new method to fill it.

Section A will have principal applicant's name (the one who is being sponsored from pk)
section A will have principal applicant's signature as well

Section B will have Sponsor's name (the one who is in Canada)
section B will have Canadian Sponsor's signature as well

Section C will also have Sponsor's name (the one who is in Canada)
on section C
ICCRC number
Business or organization name both spaces will have
N/A written if you applied your spousal case without any lawyer
Section C:(4) : Check the e-mail Box

Put N/A in Section D

Sponsor and Principal Applicant will only have to fill one IMM5744E form and both will sign the same form
principal applicant's should fill/print/sign/scan and e-mail it to Canadian Sponsor who will print/sign/scan ad upload it on Atip Website

4. copy of passport of your spouse
