some that are still showing as waiting have not reported back on here to update the spreadsheet and some are actually still waiting...from 2016 even.

LVO does NOT go in order for app approval, those who got DM or PPR before you just had a easier app for LVO to quickly approve it. whats considered easier? well thats upto LVO, it can include many factors such as how each person has proved their marriage genuineness, or if their background checks completed quicker, or if LVO saw no red flags according to them etc etc, all we can do is guess.

most report back because they have been on here getting help and helping others through this awful process and come here to finally close their case and for us to update spreadsheet and update the stats. or just cuz they are nice. lol.
Word is or was that 2017 apps are being processed at faster pace, and in one of the news Ahmed Hossain said they've processed 80% of backlog but if at this very forum many are waiting since 2016, imagine many more out there from across the globe. As far as the genuineness of marriage is concerned tu agar meri 11 saal aur Alhamdulillah 3 bacon ke baaad bhi koi suboot chaiye tu phir Allah khair hee karay.....o well let's see....prayers for all and request of prayers that I get re-United with my family as well.

My file was 2.4 mb. But was accepted.
Another file i uploaded was about 4mb and was accepted as well.

Also if u got any papers notorized. Did you just get a stamp? I think that is sufficient. I saw sample where some people had stamp plus embosed but not all notary public have these embose seal. I guess that should be fine right

.4
accepted where? how u sent this 4 MB file?

Good Luck with your interview my friend. At least you got Feb 27th instead of Mar 6th.
I would like to know where you made your staying arrangements in Islamabad? My wife also lives in Karachi so if God Forbid if she gets an interview call, i have no idea where to stay in Islamabad.
We booked a hotel for the week that we are there. Neither of us have been to Islamabad before so didnt have much idea of what to do.

So that is great news they are conducting interview monthly basis. Since the email we received from LVO mentioned the

1) INTERVIEW happen quaterly
2) And will be conducted by same IMMIGRATION OFFICER who handle your file.

That means he also has to make travel arrangements to ISLAMABAD for the interview on top of quaterly interview schedules. Or maybe it is the officer change of travel plans ?
I think interviews are being done monthly now. Because mine is 27th feb, someone on here had on 6th march, and then they offered 10th april as well.

I guess those closer to the 18 month mark (like myself) are given priority (?) over those who still have time in reaching that stage.

Allah karay sabka jaldi hee ho waise.

PA needs to link the application but Sponsor can do on her behalf, not letting LVO know.. lolz.
PA and Sponsor can access the GCKey any time, no one knows who is accessing the link only PA and Sponsor knows :D:D:p

I believe they asked Applicantmay member as well. Can you plz tell?
Iam May 4th Applicant and sent my voluntary document of recent visit through email about a month ago.
