Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

THE VISA OFFICER IS CONFUSED. THERE ARE CERTAIN STRENGTHS OF YOUR APPLICATION ALONG SOME WEAKNESSES. HE/SHE COULD NOT SAY YES OR NO to your application AND DECIDED TO TAKE A SECOND OPINION.
In my understanding, this means at least your case is not weak. On what date visa officer has recommended a review?
Normally such review requests are entertained in around 15 days.

Hi

i got Notes.............

Eligibilty ---- Review Required
Groups & Associations -------- 0

in notes VO does not mention any concern or Point of objection or suspicion...................however he wrote..........."i am writing Review required under eligibility and asked for Updated FBI certificate"

confused that if there are no concerns in relationship then why he write Review required. But there is nothing in Groups (its 0)..

asked FBI certificate on 21-Nov-2016

any comments are welcome

Order your GCMS notes that will give you an idea of what the hold up is. ::)

Why are you sending 9 photos? dont they require just two???
I am not entirely sure of how many pictures. This is based on the older version, not the new application package. She sent 9, so I guess nine it is. ;D

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

I'm new to this forum but my case to sponsor my husband to Canada started last year in February 2016 Nothing really has been updated but my eligibility to sponsor already has a DM. I spoke to the mp in my area and she said visa office wants to interview my spouse before asking him to do another medical as his expired. I thought it was medical request first? I see a lot of cases here being complete in 11 months and I have a baby but nothing seems to make a difference with CIC as they are dragging it on.
