Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Fellow members I was wondering what's your opinion regarding this. Are cousins or within relatives marriages less scrutinized and are issued visa faster or is there no difference between family marriages and outside of family marriages. (Family marriage meaning your cousins or father's or mothers sides of the families). I'm just wondering to see what others think if family cases are finished quickly.

ISB office usually takes less than a month to stamp visa. They usually take 2 to 3 weeks. Mine was stamped at Manila office and they take roughly one month to stamp visa. You are almost there. congrats and enjoy!!

Please update the spreadsheet team ... I got my PPR same day as I discovered the DM i-e 24th June 2015... Passport submitted the next day ... Stamped passport received on 13th July 2015.
For all the people who want to know how long does it takes after re medical? It took me 3 and a half months ... But that's also cuz I paid my RPRF with the re medical ... Wishing all of you best of luck for your process ... Hope it comes through fast and soon! In shaa ALLAH !!

We have a within family marriage i dont think it has anything to do with the process they just need proofs that shows its a genuine marriage, that's all.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

I dont think so that within family or outside family marriage thing effect LVO. they just require authenticity of ur relation , complete up to date information and medical test reports from IMO.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Yes it really depend upon case and visa officer. In my case i got PPR request and after 48 hours of that my ECAS status has changed to decision made. (means i first got PPR)
and i heard now a days they are taking approximately 3-4 weeks to stamp ur visa. My sis has submitted her passport on 6th july and she has not get it back yet.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

You have to submit your complete info (all application forms) + Marriage authenticity proofs ( Wedding pics from all functions i.e mehndi, barat, rukhsti and waleema covering large number of guests) +Marriage Hall bill receipt (if u r booking)+ Ur spouse Air ticket copy + Honeymoon or outing pics from different dates and venues & hotel bookings + Invitation cards + Shopping/Gifts/restaurant bills etc
Plus u have to get police certificate and i will suggest u to go for Upfront medical so it will save ur time.
