Hi

Can anyone please guide me how to apply for spouce visa. What is the best possible way and the quickest. Any good immigration lawyer in Islamabad and Brampton, Toronto. We will be doing nikkah over the phone as my wife to be couldn't get married in Pakistan when she visited as the courts in brampton didn't accepted her divorce papers. She has been separated for 3 years we met last year in UK. I came back to Pakistan for good to get married as we planned but unfortunately her divorce didn't settled on time. I would really appreciate if any senior member can help me as how to go forward.

Hey
Just wanted to say that it's better not to apply for spouse sponsorship without
having a complete marriage, because it will be way too long for you both to wait.
It can take more than 2 years.

Things that will make you wait much longer than normal cases:
1) It's your wife's 2nd marriage
2) Nikah case on phone
(We did our Nikah face to face. Imagine the Nikah on phone cases.
It's been more than 24 months we are still waiting and it's our 1st marriage!lol)


Together it's going to be hell long.
What I suggest is that you wait until she can come visit you
and have a complete wedding including Ruksati


Only then your wife will be ready to apply for your sponsorship.

And, If you met your wife 1 year ago in UK.
You can in the meantime work on collecting the proofs of how you both have been in touch since last year.
Starting from your and your wife's passport copies where it shows stamp or visa of UK during the same time.
Pictures you guys have taken together.
Incoming and outgoing call records, Skype, gifts anything
Keep gathering anything you both can starting from the last year up until now
and then add in your complete wedding pictures including Post-wedding pictures.
The time spent with family and all.

You can do your nikah on phone, but don't apply for your sponsorship until your marriage is ''consummated''
You can show CIC how your nikah was done on phone, but you guys have waited for the complete
wedding before applying for sponsorship.


This can be very positive for your case because CIC will know that you guys are not applying
just for citizenship and you guys have already waited for 1 and maybe more time before
applying for sponsorship.

This will show your maturity as well.
Now, you don't need to pay any immigration lawyer/ consultant huge amounts of $ because your wife can get all the info
she needs on www.cic.gc.ca and if something is not clear she can directly call CIC

CIC website clearly states that all the info needed for anything is available on their website and
There is no necessity of going to the lawyers.
Since, you have lived in UK you must know English well to help your wife in filling out the forms.

However, if you still want to go to the lawyers I think someone who has better knowledge
about the lawyers will reply you.

In short, I suggest you not to apply for sponsorship until marriage is consummated.

Take the time you need to fill out all the forms and answer the questions in detail concerning
your marriage and relationship. Be precise and clear without making any mistakes in the forms.

And, Once after Ruksati your wife applies for your sponsorship, She can apply for you TRV as well.
And, You might get the travel visa and visit her before you get your permanent residence.

If you hurry for sponsorship CIC will make you wait longer, but if you wait and keep track of all the proofs
and then after Ruksati apply for sponsorship with complete package

Chances are that you will get permanent residence pretty soon!

Don't worry man! I'm not crazy enough to get media attention for such a human error. It can happen with anyone, especially seeing the large numbers of packages they send out every single day!!!

my ques is from te members who recently has got remed and pppr
what is the time difference.... between ur remed through email and ppr via post..... cuz my lawyer got remed via email and now it is 10 days i dont get any ppr
Anywhere from 1 day to 4-5 months. But if you reach 5 months and still no PPR, then something is wrong or stuck in your case such as background checks, etc.

Sister! I really have no idea how long CIC can take to call for interview but i have heard from people that it roughly takes 1 to 1 & half year. Allah knows better.

yes there are many people on this forum who have passed interviews. My case was a Nikkah only case and on the basis of that the visa officer had put me in Interview Queue in September 2012. The last letter I received from embassy was in June 2012 & in response to that letter i sent them some further pictures of nikkah, telephone bills, skype history, email history, parcel slips & money transfer slips & other related documents. since then I didn't hear anything from them so I was curious what is happening with my case. So I applied GCMS Notes in December 2012 and from there I came to know that I am in Interview Queue because I have not performed Rukhsati / Walima and there are no Post wedding pictures of Honeymoon or other proofs of living together. So to resolve this objection we have performed Rukhsati / Walima in May 2013. My wife lived with me for almost one month and then she moved back to Canada as she had to continue her job there. In june I have sent all the additional proofs to embassy. Now lets see what happens. I am very much hopeful that we all will hear good news soon in sha Allah. Please remember in your prayers. thank you :)
