Hello,

I have been given an option for conducting an interview for spousal visa at LVO, else they are saying that if i will not come they will take about 6-12 months to come here in Islamabad Pakistan and then will take it, i opted for interview in LVO thinking it will shorten the time period and now they asking for travel document i.e UK entry visa, trying to reach out the British high commission and they even dont know what visa category ill be applying for... dont know what to do? if any one had similar experience like this before, please share

Regards

You are the second person on this forum who has to go to interview in London. It’s kind of not fair... because visa is needed there and not so easy to get it. Probably regular tourist visa and invitation letter for interview?!
Maybe there is a chance your interview can be held through Skype or somehow through the phone?

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/spousal-sponsorship-pakistan-london-visa-office.203899/page-3260#post-8015275 You can read khaani.ali posts. He is not done with process as of now. I don’t know how it is possible for you to have an interview from London without taking half a year or a year of your life, but I guess you can try applying for tourist visa even without invitation... I wish you luck and keep us posted. :)

Hi everyone !!! Me and my elder sister married 2 our Canadian cousin in 2015 .my sister went there but husband completed his studies so he sponsored me feb 2019.in this whole time my husband didn't visit me once.my husband received email that they sent our papers to London visa office on 8 November 2019. In 10 March 2020 they conduct my interview in Islamabad, interview wasn't go well the interviewer said she concerned that our marriage is not genuine. She didn't keep anything instead of my communication proves(WhatsApp and viber conversations)and most important thing she didn't call my husband to ask anything.my question is.... is it possible they conduct more than one interview in spousal visa or they simply refuse. And how many days usually they take to refuse an application. Thanks For every reply I will be grateful.

Not visiting your wife for almost 5 years is extremely strange so I could see why you may be denied. You have to wait and see what happens and you can appeal if you get denied. Can’t stress enough that you must spend more time in person together.

There won't be any further interviews. You should be expecting a refusal.

Not bothering to visit each other in person is a pretty big indicator of a marriage of convenience.

Agree with above. There will be no further interviews and with no visits in 5 years, expect to be refused as a clear Marriage of Convenience.

Hello there,

I just found this forum and thought it could help me. I am in the same situation right now - I applied for my husband in 2021 and it's still in process. In october of 2022, they sent a letter saying an interview will be required; either he would need to be present in london or it will take place in Islamabad in 6-12 months. It has already been 6 months now and still no date has been finalized. I wanted to know what happened in your case.

Someone please advise,
Regards
