    I went with the same idea, it back fired. You spend more time actually in the queue due to inquiries that they will generate because of Nikah only case. I would strongly advise to get the Rukhsati done, and then apply for the case. Good Luck

    Based on my recent experience "Nikah Only" case is a BIG No ! Long story short ... they don't consider "Nikah Only" as legal marriage, and start inquiring for details. At the end you end up spending more time and money for the completion of your case, and not to mention unnecessary frustration...

    Pre-arrival letter usually comes before the final decision and after they start checking your background. Once the back ground check is done, they send you the PPR and your ECAS status changes to "Decision Made".

    Congratulations. No idea though about how long it will take for PPR. I am waiting for DM, after the receipt of pre-arrival letter. Anxiously. How long it has been since you got the pre-arrival letter ?

    Although. I think this would be a great way to compensate slow processing time.
