Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Dear Colleagues,

I have applied for the sponsor of my family from Quebec; they are back in Pakistan. After sponsorship approval, I get the re-medical request in Feb 2015. The medicals were conducted in the last week of Feb 2015.

When my family appeared at IOM Islamabad with the medical report form IMM1071 ; sent by LVO, they were told that there Application number is not activated and the VO has mistakenly printed the application number for the previous time i.e. when I myself had applied for PR and my family went through medical along with me. Thus the representative of IOM created a UMI number and conducted an upfront medical. I was told to my family that its the typical procedure if they ever face any problem with the application number and CIC is aware about that. my family was further told that subject to all reports being clear, the results will be submitted to CIC in two days.

Having said, I have recently contacted the LVO to know about the receipt of medical results. To my surprise they replied in following word:

"Please confirm with the panel physician that you visited whether the results have been uploaded as of yet".

In my case, I was issued my PR visa with in one month of my medical. But its been more than two months that the LVO has not even received the medical result. The lazy, incompetent and inefficient IOM staff has delayed the process and elongated my wait time. May I have the guidance from seniors that how should I confront this situation? Whats forums and options are available for rectification of this delay? I am in touch with the IOM Islamabad but while being in Canada, its bit tough to communicate efficiently.

Thanking in anticipation

One quick question: As I have filed my application on December 10, 2014 but IMM008 was updated and they requested me resend again the updated one. In My AOR they mentioned application received on 10-12-2014 so my timelines will start from when application filed or AOR Received ?

Thanks!!

Salaam :).

Similar situation happened with my husband.. IMO islamabad submitted his re-medical to LVO with a different IME number then the one LVO provided on the form.

To make things clear.. E-mail IOM & tell them what LVO said & ask them where the results stand. If they have submitted them ask for the IME numbers & the e-medical sheets which provide all of the info. of the applicant & that they've performed the medical. Then e-mail LVO providing them with the IME numbers IOM submitted the medicals with & attach the e-medical's.

This is how we solved our problem & LVO replied back saying they can confirm that they've recieved the results & they'll contact us in the coming weeks. My husband recieved his PPR about 3-4 weeks after.

Hope this helps :).

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Assalam o alaikum to All ..
Things are very difficult for me …REALLY SERIOUS ISSUE ,NEED GUIDE LINE FROM SENIORS ..
As I told in my previous posts , I am April 2013 applicant .My husband is PR .He received my 1st ATIP notes on 10th january 2015 , which show application in progress ,status Open ..Its written my application was sent to islamabad on 2nd sept 2013 ..After that no other visa office added.senior member of forum said as its written , criminality 1 and security 1 ,,so it means back ground checks going on . in notes not written that back ground checks going on ..husband's Mp said on 28 january 2015 , back ground checks going on and if no correspondence in 3 months come again..so my husband went on 21st april 2015 , Mp said this time : "APPLICATION IS IN ISLAMABAD, WORK HAS NOT STARTED YET ,APPLICATION IS IN QUE , WHEN THE TURN WILL COME IT WILL PROCESS QUICKLY BUT AS ITS WITHIN 36 MONTHS OF TIME FRAME OF ISLAMABAD VO , HE CANT DO ANYTHING ".
My husband angrily said if next yr the time becomes 5 yrs ,is it going to be processed in 5 yrs ?? The Mp said hopefully its not going to be 5 yrs .Mp said its too much work load in islamabad .
My question is … how come the same MP said back ground checks going on , and after 3 months he is saying WORK NOT STARTED YET ?????
2ndly WHY ITS STILL IN ISLAMABAD WHEN ISLAMABAD IS NOT PROCESSING PR CASES ??

Husband applied for notes on 29th march 2015 which will come on 28 ,29 april 2015 ..
Now what we do ??????????? emails,Enquiries to islamabad is useless .. LVO give answer , but my case is not even shifted ..HOW TO SHIFT IT TO LONDON VISA OFFICE ???

wasalam,

First off, I understand your anxiety. Your file is in ISB instead of LVO coz they chose to keep in ISB (back in 2013, its their authority if they want to transfer file or not, it was not a normal tradition of file transfer to London as we have todays)..

Well, there is no such way you can Transfer your file. Well, please remember that its been now 2 years, (ISB processing time is, we all know, more than 2 years).
So all you can do is order notes, contact MP (dont contact frequently) and pray (thats a powerful tool).

Sometimes we want things to happen at fast pace, but the real PLANNER knows when to finalize the thing. So believe firmly and IA , case will be finalzie soon with good news.

My prayers along side you..

Walaikum Salaam Dr. Dua,

-> do not annoy CIC or LVO by emailing them too much or being aggressive/disrespectful in your communication.
-> MPs can't do anything -- those days are gone.
-> can your Husband send more proof to CIC -- e.g. boarding passes for recent trip to Pakistan, pictures from your trips, shopping/gift receipts, phone records?
-> can your Husband apply for your visit visa?

That is all help I can give you, may Allah make it easy for you and your Husband. Ameen.
