My wife finally got a passport request from the VO today. I am the sponsor and she is the principal applicant. Along with her passport, she has been asked to submit a form called "Appendix A - Updated Information Chart". The form has spaces for Principal Applicant and also Spouse or Partner...

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office Thank you!!! :)

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office could someone link me the pakistan spreadsheet please? one of my friends is going to sponsor his pakistani wife and he wants to see the real processing times.

could someone please post the link for the NDVO spreadsheet?

Yes I think so. I'm pretty sure that ADVO and LVO both have similar processing times, so that answers one of the questions they had. The main reason they're asking is because they would like to know where the interview (if required) would be held.

Yes, dual citizen I think, and he has never resided in Pakistan.

One of my friends wants to sponsor her Pakistani husband who was born in Kuwait. Which visa office would his application be transferred to? Would it be Abu Dhabi because he was born and lives in Kuwait, or Islamabad/London because he is of Pakistani background?

I called my lawyer and he says it should not be a red flag because i am related to my wife's relatives. Who to believe? :-\

No, IMM5490 clearly asks for family and relatives in Canada. She is from afghanistan and she does not have any travel history at all. The connection is that her canadian aunt is the wife of my mom's brother... so that means her aunt and uncle are also my aunt and uncle even before the marriage...

IMM5490 asks if the principal applicant has any family or relatives in Canada. My wife has an uncle, aunt, and 3 cousins (all part of the same family) in Canada. Is this going to be a red flag for her? Her immediate family (parents and siblings) are in her home country.

FLX2015 is helpful to many on this forum, and we are ALL frustrated not just him. You are the one who should leave and get a life. FLX, i will write a letter to McCallum as you have suggested. He needs to be made aware of what is going on.

But she has never applied for a TRV before or a study permit before. The spousal app is the only type of visa she has ever applied for in her entire life. I actually don't have high hopes for the TRV and I've come to terms with that, so if it gets rejected, we will just put it behind us and...

I've been reading around quite a bit and I've learnt that if an applicant has a history of trying to get into Canada, the visa officer might consider that a red flag, or at the very least see it as a point of concern. This is true especially for applicants who are not visa exempt. A few months...

I've seen a few people voluntarily sending proof of relationship to their visa offices. Is it better to send by post or by email/CSE? Or is it the same thing so long as they receive it? Also, why do some people send the same documents both by email AND by post? Is there a specific reason for...

I tried that and it didn't work. We've sent each other birthday cards as well. Should I just send in those with the WU receipts instead of trying to explain the call log issue?

I know, but the gap in call logs was after the marriage. Thank you for the reassurance though, I will definitely send those Western Union receipts tonight. This makes me glad that my wife spends so much on clothes and jewelry. :P

I'll send those tonight. I send my wife money every 2 weeks so I have plenty of receipts. I hope they don't put my wife down for an interview just because of that 6 month gap in the call logs, despite the fact that I included text message logs to cover that gap. :(

No calls or texts because we applied right after we got married. It was an arranged marriage and it's normal for there not to be any prior contact before the marriage. The initial app only had proof showing how our parents and grandparents arranged the marriage, lots of wedding photos, and...

I feel comfortable with the initial proof, it's just that I don't want the visa officer to make assumptions as to why I included 9 months of text messages, but only the past 2 months worth of call logs. (I said 3 months of call logs in my previous post but I checked again and it's closer to 2...

6 months. My VO is New Delhi.
