DM Oct 1. I have to send email to LVO and ask about validity of visa because medicals expire on Nov 5 and they havent said anything about extending it or landing before a certain date. Either way, I am heading to Pak and returning on oct 29 so I really hope my wife can come back with me.
Spreadsheet updated now.
All the very best to u and your wife! You would have to land before Nov 5.

lol....I was just excited to read the approval news and didn't even search if you were the sponsor or applicant :D

my heart drops Whenever I see processing time as 24 months 4 Pakistanis. Cases like yours bring hope that Lvo can process cases faster than 24 months ;D

All the best!

24 months processing time for Pakistan doesn't apply to us as our VO is in London so the processing time of UK applies which as of October 3 is 14 months (including assessment of sponsor: 32 days)

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Yes i attached original ones although there are no instructions specific to them on cic website
.
However, do make photocopies of all boarding passes and reciepts u attach with application for God forbid any later requests or queries. :)


TORONTO134 said:
CIC didn't define a rule about boarding passes tht i hv come across yet. As it's an optional item to use as evidence to support relationship claim, i feel a copy would do the job. However, I had sent mine originals as using it fr CIC was the only motive for saving it all along :) If you would end up tossing thm in garbage later then consider threwing thm in the application package instead ;D

Now that i think about it i really dont know what my husband attached with our application...maybe original receipts and boarding pass or copies..but i know for sure he scanned all of those to keep a record.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hi

My wife got Sponsorship Eligibility Decision (SA) today via email. It mention "your relative has been forwarded to the visa office in London for further processing." but GC key is same as before SA.

Application/profile status Open

Review of eligibility Review in Progress

Is my SA date is file transferred date to LVO?

If the words are as follows, then yes this is the Sponsorship Approval and most likely this is the file transfer to London date.

"You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative has been forwarded to the visa office in London for further processing."

I think you Mycic account should be updated with the information that your re-medical results have been received. Mycic is not updated each day, they update after a few days.
Whats your current status for medical on mycic?
