SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

I have received email from LVO asking about copies of Nikah Nama and Translation (Not originals) . Can I send the scanned documents through email???

Or these need to be sent to LVO through regular mail? I thought NADRA issued Marriage certificate would be enough but they have specifically asked for these documents.

When I got the email for nikah nama. I sent the orginal one even though they asked for copy. I sent it through a courier and I scanned in the email as well. When you write the email write URGENT on it. Don't forget also send marriage certificate copy as well.

Spreadsheet updated. You can send an email to London saying you have mailed the photos, but do not expect a response. You may hear back from them but most likely you will not.

Thanks, Andrew

If the marriage was not arranged by family, did you give an account of how you guys met? It is very important that you give a convincing account of how your "love" developed and stuff... SO I would prepare any evidence of your meeting, chatting, talking, Skype, etc before you got married. That would be what they are looking for.

I have noticed that they ask for interview if you tell them that the marriage was not arranged. SO tell them that all your family members were involved in the wedding.

It just looks like you did not provide enough information about how your relationship developed. I'm sorry to say this but at this point all you can do is prepare for the interview and gather evidence of all the events that lead up to you and spouse deciding to get married.

Do you have pictures of you both before the wedding? It is imperative that you show that to them..

Exactly..!! They raised eyebrow on the same issue on my "love marriage", but I had enough evidence and write up to cover it, I think you didn't provided them detail in that "development of relation" question in sponsorship questionnaire which is very vital, I say from experience eligibility review is mainly dependent on these answers, I attached 2 extra pages to describe every single event in our life with going in the details.

Next Steps:

I have never seen anyone getting their interview revoked after sending additional proofs, if I was you, I would now start preparing, gathering and making docs describing your development of relationship, questions you may expect would be like:

how you both met?
How your relationship developed and how meeting turned into friendship?
Who between 2 of you and when you thought about marriage and who proposed?

How your families got involved? met and decided about marriage. (very vital)

How things progressed after that, (date setting, moun meetha etc if happened)
and eventually marriage and life after.

Hope there won't be any hiccups if you clear everything from docs, proofs (pics, chats, Facebook posts etc ), detailed answers to questions in sponsorship questionnaire during interview.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

I have to agree with Bubbles and Suleman on this. We had about 6 pages (single space) explanation about how we were introduced, and how our relationship developed over the course of "discussing" marriage, and engagement period and then after the wedding. We provided tonz proof to support what we were claiming.

Ours was not a typical "arrange" marriage either. We were introduced, and but the decision was entirely ours, and I very clearly explained how that took place, and even though our parents razamandi/approval was essential, but ultimately it was our decision.

If you are put in for an interview, then make sure you prepare this pretty well. So you will need to gather all supporting documents specially anything after your application was received in Mississauga. That would include on-going communication, trips taken back and forth or together, any gifts sent, or money sent by any party.

In the interview, questions will be raised based on the notes on your file. So if they are questioning you "not being related" then you need to have solid explanation. If they are questioning why you didn't wear traditional outfits, then you need to clearly convince them that how you dressed up doesn't impact your relationship.

Also make sure you send show them pictures of family members/friends with you on your wedding day. Majority of the wedding pictures that I sent were group photos of friends and family from all events. I even sent wedding/walima invitation cards, contract with wedding hall, proof of payment to wedding halls, as well as photographer etc. etc.

Essentially during the interview you are proving that your relationship is genuine, and you will need to really do some homework on you can convince them.

Good luck!

Even if you have done all of this, but if they are not satisfied with answers about how your relationship developed, and how your parents were involved in the decision, they will raise questions. They have every right to do so. They are doing their job.

So they are giving you an opportunity to clear the clouds, and convince them that your relationship is genuine.

There are tonz of information available on this forum for potential interview questions. I recommend you search those, and then prepare all the necessary and supporting documents.
