Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

It means that u the sponsor has been approved for sponsoring ur spouse n application received for ur spouse means that is file has been received n LVO will now start working when time comes.

Keeping recent history in mind LVO is working according to their timelines of 11 months. I will tell u my case. My file was transferred to LVo in Jan13 n I got passport request exactly after 11 months for visa issuance.

AoA,

I'm a bit confused by the process - can someone help me?

I applied for my husband (Pakistani based in Pakistan) in September 2014.

Application was confirmed as received on September 15, 2014.

I was approved as a sponsor on November 5, 2014.

My husband's application for PR is shown as received on Sept. 15, 2014.

The letter I received via email on Nov. 5, 2014 states that our file is now forwarded to London VO.

When I log into ECAS, I see Sponsorship Application Status as DECISION MADE (so that is me being approved right?)

and I see Permanent Residence Application Status as APPLICATION RECEIVED.

What does this mean? As the only note i see under Application Received is 'we have received application for permanent residence on September 15, 2014.'

Thanks in advance

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hi- I need your feedback. My wife has sponsored me and she got sponsorship approval and our file transferred at LVO directly on 25-Apr-2014. After that we are still waiting for their further feedback..!! We didn't do upfront medical but waiting for their instructions for medical.
My question is that, that as we didn't do upfront medical so it may not effect our case timeline. Can you pls advise your feedback on this? Tnx

It won't effect the timeline but might take a month longer than usual, coz the first thing they will ask when your file gets in the queue for the medical. for us they are usually now extending the medical and making the decision, rarely they have asked for Remed.

I would suggest do your medical within a month or so and send London the receipt and letter. This will not delay your case.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

I am very upset why my application has not yet been transferred to London although its 21 months now( Application Received on 8th Aril 2013 ).The applications of many people in this forum are later received to CIC and they have received the final medical request and some have received passport request even.I really don't understand CIC system,they don't follow file number,they don't have rules and regulations. :mad: Well as guided earlier by a member of this forum,my husband will contact the MP and will request to inquire about my application.
As I am new in this forum,I don't know how to make the time line of my application as other members have made. 2ndly in the time line of forum members its written AOR ,,what does it mean ??

I am very sorry to hear and can understand what you are going through. However, the only step you can take is make sure your done with the medical and or any requirements that might be outstanding and can further delay your cause. Without knowing much about your application I would also suggest to contact the local MP & order ATIP notes to see the progress on your file.
inshallah you will hear something about your file shortly.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Thank you for your feedback - My wife send an email 10 days before to LVO to inquire status of our file and notified them that we are waiting for their instruction for medical examination. We are waiting for their revert email.

We have also send them ongoing relationship proofs i.e. phone bills/calling data, skype, viber chats, greeting cards, post cards etc.. Two times we used courier and last time we did send aforesaid proofs via email. Is this okay to send them ongoing proofs on monthly or 2 months basis?

As I'm new member on this forum so can you advise what would be my case proceeding timeline approximately since my file transferred at LVO on 25-Apr-2015? Should I expect something regarding medical, additional documents.. etc. within this month?

I appreciate your precious time and suggestions. Tnx

My husband applied for the notes,which was received after one month on 8th january 2015..Its very complicated.But it shows
Application status : Open ,Application status reason : In process ,, Office : Islamabad ,, Criminality : Not done ,, Security : Not done ,,
Medical Assessment : Not done
I did my medical from Jeddah,as i was working in saudi arabia as doctor at that time..In Jeddah the panel doctor for Canada immigration has online system to send the medical report,they don't send any forms by courier to CIC.They gave me a paper in which my digital photograph was taken at the time of medical examination and a code number was in it,and said to me that my medical can bee seen by cic with this code on their system of medical examination and I have to send that original paper to my husband to include it in my application to send it to cic.So I sent that paper to my husband and he sent that paper with my whole application to cic.
The notes which my husband received 2 weeks ago,its written in one note..
ORIGINAL IMM1017 NOT PROVIDED.ONLY PROOF THAT MEDICAL HAS BEEN COMPLETED.CSC DATE NOT ENTERED.ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS MET..
I want to ask what does it means actually ??]
