You have to make an appoitment with the IOM. they will not entertain you if you just show up!

You already have decision made on your application since last month, and they're asking for re medical now? LVO sure is acting strange! :P

I applied to sponsor my Pakistani husband in March 2014. His file was updated to 'Decision made' a few weeks ago and we received a letter requesting us to send his passport to Islamabad along with two photographs.

We are confused about the fact that 1-there was no PPR1 asking us to send a copy of his passport to the London visa office and 2-we were never requested to do a remed even though the first one expired months ago???

Do you guys think the LVO forgot about us? How do I contact them?

I went through the same story....sadly

You have to give them more time. I would say 2 weeks more and then email. What I understood from the way they asked you about the passport was (sorry for bursting your bubble) , that either they didn't had a clear copy of passport or something like your passport was near expiry and they wanted to check if you have renewed it or not. I never thought of it as PPR 1.

Salam Sulemanmirza,

Thank you and I'll follow your advise and will wait couple of weeks more.

Regarding the passport copy, kindly note that I have submitted (Notarized) passport copy and 9 recent photographs along with my initial file in Mar-2014 and that passport was expiring in early 2015. I have then renewed my passport in end of the year 2014 and voluntarily submitted passport scan copy (Non-Notarized) via email to LVO. Now upon their request I have dispatched color copy of my renewed passport bio page (Notarized) along with recent photographs to LVO as they asked for recent photographs also. My question is that why they have asked for recent photographs again? ::)

This is the reason I was assuming that this is PPR1. I may be wrong but really confusing situation. What do you think?

Appreciate your input. Tnx
 
Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

How long after remedical do they issue the visa?

Assuming passport is alrdy submitted for visa.

I was actually expecting a remedical request. Before my status changed to DM I got an email asking me about my health history for possible extension of medical.....
I had 2 visits out of country so I was actually waiting for it

Same thing happened with me. My previous passport will expire in next 3 months but LVO emailed me before DM that renew your passport or if you already did send us scanned copies which I did. After a week after sending them passport scan copies I got DM. It's been almost two months now since I got DM but neither LVO emailed me any PPR nor they updated anything in my ECAS. Emailed LVO twice in last two months but didn't get any reply.
I would suggest wait until they contact you.
 
Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Remedical scheduled on December 17 2015.

Salam Hamadm,

My question is that why they asked for recent photographs along with passport bio page color copy? Asking for recent photographs is making me confuse even-thou I have already submitted 9 photographs while submitting my file. Some forum members advised that this is PPR1 as they used to do in early 2014 and I'm also Mar-2014 applicant. God knows. Allah Pak Sub Asan Farmain hum sub k lia. Aamin

I suggest you to contact your MP so they can send an email to LVO on your behalf. I'm sure you'll get PPR soon InshahAllah. Tnx

Also this is from my ATIP notes on our relation you may be able to see what they assess:



Canadian citizen PR since: NIA Prev Marriage?: No Prev Spousal Sponsorship?: No Residency concerns: Prev Marriage: No Prev application: No Prev Imm History: No Date PA met
Related: -- Arranged Marriage: no Date of Engagement: -- Date of Marriage: --

Nikah Performed: yes Nikah Nama provided: yes Rukhsati Performed: Yes How many in attendance: 200

Honeymoon attended: No Photos of Nikah: Yes Photos of other outings: Yes Appears cultural norms followed:

Yes Length of time SPO stayed in Pakistan: -- weeks Satisfied that relationship is genuine: Yes Based on: sponsor and PA marriage was proposed by family as per traditions. A lengthy courtship took place since the sponsor was -- years old and wedding was finalized four years later. Cultural norms seem to have been followed. Nikah was well attended. Photos show that PA and Sponsor are comfortable with each

other. Photos included for other outings and have same comfort feeling. Nothing looks posed. Traditional dress and henna shown in photos as well as the crowd in attendance. Proof of ongoing communication included and satisfactory. Based on these factors I am satisfied that the sponsor and PA are in a genuine relationship. Education years and level updated: yes

Same thing happened with me. They wrote a life long story of us which me and my wife always thinks that may be we couldn't even summarize our 8 years relationship like that. :)

I always wonder what if someone marries without the consent of their parents (let say elope), that means "according to CIC" their marriage is not genuine as Number of guests are not in hundreds or they didn't wore Sharara sherwani.? although it may be against cultural norms but still marriage is genuine. Utter nonsense nothing else.
