SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

[TahirS]

Re: Medicals Expiry

You timeline is really close to mine with the same day medical and file transfer. I sent them an email after sending my documents and they took 28 days to reply. Hang tight. Wait for them to ask you for the medical.

I did get an email from them today and they acknowledged that have received my additional documents and an immigration officer is reviewing them. They replied after 21 days. They also said they will let me know if they need more information.

I guess now its just wait... wait... wait... thing. Nothing much I can do to expedite the process.

Thanks for your guidance wahmed4. I appreciate.

Hey friends,

I have filed my sponsorship case through consultant and now I want to apply for my wife's visit visa as I dont know how much more time they are going to take in my wife's immigration visa.
Is it wise to apply visit visa through same consultant or do it by myself?
Consultant is charging $500 for visit visa application.
Or I should wait for immigration visa as I am October 2015 applicant.
Sincere answers will be appreciated.
Thanks

It's upto you that you can apply yourself or via consultancy.
But as per on this forum seniors advice don't apply visit while you apply for spouse case.
Wait for seniors recommendations.

I applied for a Visit visa for my wife after applying for the Spousal Sponsorship as I had to undergo a spinal surgery and my surgeon gave me a letter that as it is a major procedure and I will need someone to take care of me during the rehabilitation process.

Guess what they refused her visa for the following 2 reasons:
1. Not enough ties with the country
2. Not enough funds to support the trip [This was a real stupid reason as I have a full time rewarding job and I attached a bank statement of more than 100 K and I got a letter notarized by a lawyer that I will support my wife's complete trip financially.]

If you have to apply for the visit visa I would recommend you to go to your MP's office and have them help you apply with their letter of recommendation otherwise visa officer in Pakistan will always come up with some shady/grey reason to refuse the visa.

Visit visa refusal has absolutely NO impact on the sponsorship application therefore you can apply if you want to.

Visit visa processing time in Pakistan is at least 3 months and it can take even longer.

This is just my experience. Other people may have different experiences.

Hope this answers your question.

May u get well soon Tahir bhai.
As my cousin in ontario applied for parents and they refused on these above 2 conditions you mentioned.
I think they always put these 2 objection without reading application

^hey same question but for husband's visitor visa.
also applied in oct 2015. no correspondance other than AOR & in-process.
adding on to acron's comment, god knows how long it takes, how does it work out then? if visitor visa gets appoved, ur spouse is with u in canada how would u prove ties of them returning back when CLEARLY ur sponsoring them to come here. (majority of visitor visas are accepted if u can prove ties to back home & u not havin the intention to stay, right?) or can we apply under our own personal circumstances, but how wud that affect our current PR app? (in terms of submiting passport to ISB etc & landing...)

also one other querie, do u still have to update about any dependant(s) born to the canadian mommy (in canada), while the sponsoring in still in process & visa hasnt been issued yet? where im coming from is that in scenarios the kid's born outside CDA they have to declare those dependants & send in updated forms so the kid can be "sponsored" etc later on (do i have the right idea?)
do u still need to undergo that procedure if the kid's born in canada? kinda confusing as to why wud u include the kid that's already canadian, on the daddy's app...idk any help or insight'l be great!

To tackle the ties hang over, you can apply for the dual intent which means the applicant is admitting that he/she will be going back and forth...

As far as kids born in canada are concerned, honestly I don't know the answer. My best guess would be there won't be any need to add them in the permanent resident application as they are already born canadians. However, if they are born outside canada in that case must be somehow added to the application. I am pretty sure when send PPR they clearly ask about the current family circumstances at that point in time and provide guidance about the procedure.
