Ask people who got document request recently and they will tell you. :(

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello,

Can I please be added to the spreadsheet?


Application received in Mississauga (as per DHL tracking confirmation) : September 26, 2016
Acknowledgement of application date: October 5, 2016
Sponsor approval date: October 7, 2016
Are you Sponsor or Applicant: Sponsor
Sponsor is Canadian Citizen or PR: Citizen
Sponsoring husband or wife: Husband
Show "In Process" on ECAS date: Don't remember
Upfront medical date: August 29, 2016
Location of Principal Applicant (city): Islamabad, Pakistan

Application/profile status..........................Open
Review of eligibility..................................Review in Progress
Review of medical results.........................Passed
Review of submitted documents................ [BLANK]
Scheduling an interview............................Not needed at this time
A background check is needed...................Not Started
Final decision..........................................Not Started

Alhamdulillah my sponsorship approval was sent quite quickly. Does anyone have an idea of how long the London Visa Office has been taking to review cases over the last few months? I have heard many people saying that it's much quicker now but want to get a concrete idea.

Also - The original applications required an Urdu copy of the nikah nama with the union council's seal. I do not have an Urdu copy of my Nikah nama, as it was only completed in English. Therefore, I just sent copies of the English nikah nama with the seal. Do you think there will be any issues with that?

Thank you, and wish you all the best of luck.

1: I sent hotel receipts because it written in guide imm3907 but not other receipts
2: wait for missisuaga office to request if they don't than send it to LOndon Visa office after a month of sponsorship approval.
3: recently almost everyone is getting same letter as khan1001
Naveedali, I looked through IMM 3907E but couldn't find the word "receipt" or "hotel" mentioned there anywhere, do they say something else in regards to the hotel receipts?

Walaikum Asalam,
Desi

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

After a day receiving re-medical request, my wife has received PFL.

I have determined that you may not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act because you are a person described in paragraph A12(1) and R4 of the Act. You may therefore be inadmissible to Canada
It appears from your application that you did not celebrate the Rukhsati after your marriage. I note that your sponsor remained in Pakistan for 2 months after your wedding. You have submitted an explanation for why you have not celebrated the Rukhsati and indicated that you will celebrate it in December 2016. It appears that you have not followed the cultural norm in traditional Pakistan weddings of celebrating the Rukhsati straight away or soon after the wedding celebrations, and this is a serious concern regarding the bona fides of your relationship. Given the above, I have concerns regarding the bona fides of your relationship. Please submit evidence that you have celebrated your Rukhsati as planned in the wider community; please submit documents such as photos of the Rukhsati celebrations including guests; banquet receipts; a copy of your sponsor’s passport showing entry and exit stamps; evidence of accommodation on your honeymoon.

My Comments:
1. I didn't stay for 2 months after I stayed there for 25 days after even I provided them with ticket, i wonder how are they saying this?
2. I informed them that my wife is doing housejob and it is mandatory requirement (provided letter to confirm this). She will finish in May and we will plan Rukhsati/Reception in Decemeber.

Barat is planned on 29th Dec and walima afterwards. What should i be sending them? My Ticket, Banquet Hall booking for Barat and Walima? Receipts of bridal dress? Receipts of my dress? Marriage invitation cards?

Should i be sending the communication proof too? like viber chats?

Thanks for the help.

50x70 photos are not passport size photos, bit bigger than that and the face should be between 31mm to 36mm.
they asked me too and i have sent them on 9 Nov still no reply hoping everything fine.
