Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello Folks,

Quick question. I applied for spousal immigration as well. Application acknowledged on Dec. 16th and file sent to LVO on Dec. 29th. I am wondering why was LVO chosen for my wife as she was born in UAE and is currently a resident of UAE. Should this not be sent to Abu Dhabi?

Also, what's the typical processing time for LVO?

Thanks

I believe it has to do with her current nationality. Not where the applicant is residing.
 
Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Also assuming here that she isn't a UAE national and a Pakistan passport holder.

Thank you. Makes sense. Will she have to go to Islamabad for her interview then? Also anyone aware of typical LVO timeline after status is changed to DM.

Thanks

Interviews are not mandatory part of the process. If the Visa officer is not convinced they will request for interview and most likely interview would be in UAE.

Which decision made are talking about..sponsor sode of the application? If yes then in 2016 it is an average of 8 months as per the excel spreadsheet we have prepared. see link in my signature.

If you want to add yourself to the spreadsheet, please share your details.

If you did not have mycic account when the request of add documents were made, you should have posted the documents to the visa office in London. Maybe this is the delay.
