No updates unfortunately, I am thinking of coming up with other options since this process can takes months.

What have you decided during this time, now our file has gone over 12 months ? You are in Pakistan, did you try to contact Islamabad embassy to ask if they have the file in Interview queue ? Or is it still in London office to be sent to Islamabad ?

We are seeing people from March, April getting interviews , PPR why Jan and Feb applicanst not seeing any movement ? Anyway to escalate we can try to inform the case processing managers in LVO or lodge complaint with the Immigration Ministry in Ottawa directly so they take notice of this situation.

What do you recommend.
I would also love to be included in these complaining process. I got dead silence from Lvo for 14 straight months and then Bam! an interview letterrrr. These people have no order/sympathy towards working on our Files! We can only wish for a fair world i guess :) and just pray!

I think you shouldn't be worried at all if it would be negative then they would inform you already! Maybe you can sent them an email?

Hi there,
I’m Pathan, and for me rukhsati means honeymoon. I’m guessing for the majority who follow this thread it means wedding ceremony. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
No matter what meaning you assign, we did neither. We originally performed nikkah when we first met in Italy a couple of years ago, and it was a religious ceremony only, not legal. Then last September we legally married in Pakistan, but we did not have any sort of wedding ceremony or party. It just wasn’t important to us and would have been a huge culture shock for my wife.
So that’s why I answered with “N” for nikkah only. It’s legal, we have both certificates from the court in Mardan and Nadra. I was thinking that Nikkah only meant the religious ceremony only, not a registered marriage. It’s common in my village to not register your marriage with the court until the birth of a child.
Sorry to be so long-winded! Basically, if our case is considered “Nikkah only” by your (or whoever the author is) understanding, by all means record it on the spreadsheet as such.
Also, you can mention on the spreadsheet that we have a 10-month old baby.
Thanks for all your help!
thanks for the detail. basically for most of us nikkah only means that the "nikkah nama" paper was signed by the husband and wife but they dont live together, in other words the wifes family has not "rukhsat" the wife to husband.

but your situation is very different since its mostly happened outside of Pakistan. you would be considered rukhsati performed IMO and not nikkah only case since you both live together and have a child :)

I've heard Serena Hotel is decent for short stays in Islamabad. There are decent hotels in Islamabad.
Cheap ones near Faizabad where the bus/wagon travel services area is.
