Hello Guys,
It is very disturbing that Pakistani spousal applications are being so delayed. I had sent my wife's full application to Mississauga in August and recieved a letter a month later saying the application has been sent to Islamabad for further processing and verification. Since then, my wife has not recieved any confirmation letter from the Islamabad embassy but on the website it shows " We started processing your wife's application on October 20, 2010". It has almost been 5 months she has not received any letter. I am wondering whether the application status on the website is sufficient and if anyone has the same experience? I just recently went to pakistan in OCT-2010 and I am going again next month. Should the additional information regarding my trips be sent to them voluntarily or should I wait until they ask which inshAllah I am hoping they don't need to. I have been living in Canada since I was 1 years old and also have a reputable job and income here. Does that also come into consideration? May Allah make it easy for all of us waiting as it is very difficult. Although we must be optimistic, the current state of Pakistan is very bad and there is always a doubt things will get worse which may possibly have an impact on our applications may Allah forbid.
