Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Just an update - I still have no news for applicants' interview.
After few emails and phone calls to my local MP (elected), I got the following depressing reply.

As per the CIC website, the published processing time for spousal sponsorship applications in the Visa Office in London is approximately 28 months from the day it is received by London. London is processing an overload of applications from the European countries as well as from Pakistan and the waiting period you are experiencing is not particular to your case but is a general situation in which many applicants are facing. Your application is well within the published processing time and the applications that were received before your spouse’s will be processed first before your spouse’s interview could be scheduled. As such, the immigration officer can only interview a limited number of applicants on each area trip and the priorities will be set based on the date the applications were received.
I understand that long processing time is frustrating to many applicants who are waiting to re-unite with their families. However, please be advised that the situation you are in is not uncommon or irregular.


Thank you very much Mr. no use MP.

I can bet MP didn't even put an eye on your request and this reply is by the person sitting in his office only.

i had to tell my MP office assistant to LOWER her attitude & remember she is here to serve NOT command to get her to send an inquiry a couple of weeks ago. Nothing new came out of it but this is typical response you get from them usually.

I would ask the new MP again. The one who is taking office on Monday... Maybe they will help you out better. Make an appointment to see him/her personally. I know my MP meets people face to face, maybe yours will too... And tell them that NO, 28 months is not a "uncommon or irregular" period of time to stay away from one's spouse :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

What if one sends original Nikah Nama issued from Union Council (Nadra) and photo copy of Urdu nikah nama along attested English translation? But not the original URDU nikah nama.
There are people who have submitted an attested copy of the Urdu Nikah Nama with attest English translation and they have not had problems.
In my view, its fine.

MP OFFICE will only inform about case enquiries. I think they are useless other than that... my former MP was immigratiin minister also and seriously he did nothing except providing me notes in couple of days.
I see from your timeline we have the same timeline.. for us application was submitted on April 9, 2014. Second medical was done in April 2015.
