Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello everybody.....just from my experience...Immigration accept screenshots of Whatsapp msgs, facebook, skype etc from communication between husband and wife.... dont need to send them lots of pictures maybe 5-10 pictures from every ceremony specially those pictures in which groom and bride are together...also they ask form Rukhsati pictures and pictures from the movement when Holy Quran is on the head of bride and she is walking to the car.

As far my concern in my case i did normal marriage with barat , walima.
I sent some pic for barat and some for valima , No pic for rukhsati at all
This is not a requirement. One few pic of marriage and few for walima.
There is no pic required to sign the nikah nama at all .
CIC ask for those they do not do full marriage. I do not understand these guys
Why when they marry should complete marry with barat and walima.
If you guys do half marriage only maybe 5 years befor it was ok.
If you guys do half marriage then cic will ask more more more.

CIC give respect to our tradition for marry. They know what is normal in our
culture they exactly want to see in application.
 
Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

to be honest i have found little pattern in what is deemed as 'sufficient' for the CIC in terms of photos. Some send very few and get straight PPRs others send 100s and get fairness letters.. some send 100s and get PPRs while others who send 20 get add doc requests/more ceremony photo requests.
I think it depends on the visa officer handling the case and his/her understanding about our culture and pakistani marriage customs these days. Yes there are basics which remain the same but there is always a certain level of subjectivity when anyone analyses pictures. Hence in my opinion no one size fits all..

But i agree with you over one thing.. that only nikkah cases do get questioned more if not always... thats what i have noticed too since joining the forum. But then again rukhsati + honeymoon cases get fairness letters too :/ again id say luck does play a very vital role in the entire process just like it does in any other aspect of life.. :)

True. Also keep in mind people in general don't disclose everything about there application on this forum. So if you see people with rukhsati + honeymoon getting PFL's ask yourself is this a second marriage?, was the wedding done properly like custom?, did they apply after more than 1 year?, is the bride older than groom etc .

People will not disclose the complete truth here (rightly so), so when members see others receiving PFL's they think CIC is sending it to everyone, but in fact that is not the case. There is a reason behind them sending it to them, so always keep that in mind. :)

CIC way of take thing is very simple , real marriage shows from even one picture.
I done simple marriage book ha hall add the wedding card that shows all dates
and location for marriage and valima. cic have enough prove to make decision
base on the document.
marriage is simple thing in our culture, Some people making it complicated that is not CIC fault.

I agree with you people do not tell the real thing what is behind. Always there is a reason.

As of now I am showing one chat per month for my communication history and its around 11 pages so making it 4 conversations per month will make it around 30-40 pages worth of chat. Do you guys think it will be alright if I go above their identified limit and submit 30-40 pages worth of communication history?

And for photos should I keep them to 20 max or send more?
send more photos 20 are not enough and i sent around 60 pages of convo 4 chats from each month

Why do you need to contact canadian embassy Islamabad, All the sponsorship for spouse cases are going to London visa office. It is not possible your case in Islamabad try to read the letter complete or if you can copy paste here make sure remove your personal information, Want to see what your notes says
May be i can guide you if i can.
 
Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office
