Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Salam Guys,

I am Canadian citizen sponsoring my wife.
Alhamdulilah my wife got PPR request on Sep 10th 2015. I have a question regarding Visa application centre karachi.
1. Do I have to submit the original passport to VAC along with 2 photos?
2. Do they return the passport stamped with PR visa at same VAC location to collect with COPR?
3. In Appendix A , principal applicant would be my wife and under spouse would be my information or its blank?

Regards,

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. blank

No doubt I was lucky getting everything this fast Alhamdulilah. I think there are a number of factors that finalize the strength of your case. I mean, I studied here, bachelors, masters and I am a new CA and I have a fulltime permanent job with full benefits. And I have a very strong credit rating as I have been prompt in paying all my bills on time. I had no beef with the credit rating agencies or anything.

Secondly, I had a full marriage and I sent so much evidence that I sometimes feel I overdid it. I sent out my whatsapp conversation with my wife for a year and a half, that included like a 1000 pages. I submitted receipts of the jewelry bought, hall booking receipts, guest listing, wedding cards, facebook screenshots, our honeymoon tickets, hotel stay, food receipts, boarding passes of random people coming from other countries to our wedding, testimonials, subsequent visit and all gifts that were given to her (ring, laptops, wedding dress and all that stuff). ALl in all, I covered all my bases very well or at least I tried.

I accept that I was paranoid and honestly my wife thought she married a mad man LOLL....but Alhamdulilah things are now on the right track and I pray for all my brothers and sisters for a speedy process.

Piece of advice: Just submit everything you got and neatly arrange it. Its just human psyche that a well arranged neat file is always get and done with first. Follow instructions and re-read instructions as I see some people getting requests for translation of NN. The translation of NN is clearly written in the instructions so therefore that shouldn't be missed.

Thanks,

Z

Alhamdulilah, received PPR today. I pray all for us brothers and sisters waiting in line. I do agree with some of the comments about LVO not responding to cases that have been outstanding from 2014.
The least they should do is keep the applicants and sponsors in the loop of whatever is happening to applications.

Salam,

Zain

Ma sha Allah , congrats
I'm feb 25 2015 applicant n my case is in process from last friday
Pray fo me

I have done the same also. Canadian born citizen sponsoring my wife with a Master's degree.
Although I haven't sent 1000 pages of personal communications, my wife thought I was mad to ask her for so much documentation.
Plus I have sent them details about my baby's birth in Pakistan.
You are also fortunate with respect to timing also.
As they have made a jump from October applicants to December to avoid re-medical requests which causes a 2 month delay, sometimes more.

Is PPR still a 2 step process or now reduced to 1 ?

Is a photocopy of passport first sent to london ?
& then we wait for 2nd passport request which we send to Islamabad ?

Photocopy of PP is no longer sent directly to London.

Check VAC / Passport Request section.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

If I was in your position, I would want to know what is happening with my case file.
And if your lawyer does not co-operate, you are free to make your choice.

I asked my Lawyer and he told me to wait and don't ask for notes, Our file has already gone over 17 months and he says its still early.... anyways I am going to my MP's office who says they will send a message to LVO to ask about the status and reason for delay. Hope to hear a favorable news. Inshaallah

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Yeah i talked in detail and argue that the baby have already form B and birth certificate from the same institute then why he need passport or NICOP, he is citizen of another country, but he told if baby is born in country then he can not travel without Passport or NICOP.

It is simple, If you want to travel on Canadian Passport then you need Pakistan Visa, If you want to travel without seeking a visa then you need a NICOP. Please understand, you getting a Canadian Citizenship does not give you right to travel without necessary documents. Either you make a Pakistan Passport or get a NICOP which is an alternate of Visa and Passport at the same time.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

@Wizda.

I have seen the other way around. People tell me that wife being a sponsor is more of a straightforward case rather than the other way round you saying.

They say wife being sponsors is a less risky case but don't quote me on it.

Ugh I highly doubt that...go check Mercys timeline sheet for example, most of those lucky-green-highlights would say "sponsoring wife" hahahaha so yeah.. Anyways that doesn't really matter as long as they don't make us wait for ages...I'm ok with the wait!! Afterall it's for our good..

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

@ Wizda. I read comments on this blog and somehow there were a few comments stating wife cases are processed faster but who knows, I see different comments and concerns all the time.
Anyways I hope it works out for you and others
