I am a Feb applicant and my letter said London Visa Office.

Should I be worried? Because we all know what happened last time when files got transferred from ISB to London, those poor souls waited 2-3 years.

I hope there is a cutoff and the files that said LVO, gets processed at LVO.

i hope so too. seems like every time i come back to this forum, i read about something new that gets me worried. first it was the spreadsheets showing October 2015 applications not showing any activity (which is still a concern), and now some guy comes out of the blue telling us that us that CIC sent a PR app to Islamabad for the first time in years... and the guy thinks this is actually a good thing.

the CIC homepage still says that apps are getting processed at London, and one December 2015 applicant got an update from LVO via their MP telling them to expect something by summer.

Honestly are we worrying too much? My brother also sponsored his wife from Pakistan and he keeps telling me that I worry too much, and I keep telling him that No this is serious stuff and he laughs it off.

Me and my brother both have identical cases (except his was in 2008), both arranged, out of family and 6 month gap between marriage and application. CIC called his wife and conducted a general phone interview and they told her on the phone to submit passport the very same day.

I wish I could stop myself from worrying as much as I do now haha ::)
 
Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

I'm a Oct 2015 applicant and got a reply for a document request (CSQ) that I sent myself to LVO on Feb 19 via case specific enquiry (email is the same thing as CSE)... it was from LVO. I got the reply on March 29.

Problem was that my CSQ contained a typo and I asked LVO if it needed to be corrected, to which they replied YES and that I should send them the corrected CSQ once received, which I had already received but never sent them because I was waiting for their reply.

I remember seeing in the facebook group that an Oct 1st applicant got RFRP request some time in March...

same here. my own family is getting annoyed at me for worrying this much. they always tell me that everyone's sponsoring their wives and husbands, and that it's just me who's stressing out over it.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hey Guys,

It was Lana023 who got Rprf and additional doc request on march 14th and they are Oct 1st applicants.

I can share a couple of things here, I applied for my immigration under CEC two years ago. I did the whole process my self, I was sent document request around 4 months before I got ready for visa email and with 60 days of paying RPRF I got my pppr.

If you clearly read rprf email it states that you have passed eligibility. for spousal case I paid rprf upfront therefore didnt get any thing. I would say that Oct apllicants can start seeing DM's from First week of May. LVO was slow for most part of Feb and March however now the speed is really good.

Secondly for the cases being transffered to Islamabad CIC would generally send you communication that they are transffering your case its a requirement.

So please stay calm and relax it has been just 6 months for most October cases and average has been 215 days to process.

Hope this helps to calm some nerves
