SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Thats okay, the photographer can either use his studio stamp or hand write the name of the student and address as per the instructions on form 3907e:

The back of one (1) photograph must:
 bear the name and date of birth of the subject, as well as the name and complete address of the photography
studio;
 bear the date the photograph was taken;
 The photographer may use a stamp or handwrite this information. Stick-on labels are unacceptable

Is this something new and since when ? Cause I submitted the application in January '16 and there wasnt anything about photographer's details

Yes, they do. This is from their update form (June 2016):

The back of one (1) photograph must:
 bear the name and date of birth of the subject, as well as the name and complete address of the photography
studio;
 bear the date the photograph was taken;
 The photographer may use a stamp or handwrite this information. Stick-on labels are unacceptable

One of the photos must have all of this ^. You think you had all of it?

I remember now the Photographer address wasn't complete on the picture. I mean it was "Photographer name" and then City name. no Province and Country.
That must be the reason.

And yes I did put name and date of birth of the applicant. However, the instructions they sent me today by email doesn't mention to put name and date of birth of applicant. So should I still put that or follow the new instructions?

Found where the mistake was but now confused which instructions to follow. the 3907e form or the new instructions they sent me today ???.

Not too sure..I printed the 3907e form from the CIC website back in May 2016 and used that form when submitting my application. The form available in May 2016 had the NINE photos requirement AND the stamp/name of the photographer and their address.

The 3907e form on the CIC website was just updated again last month (June 2016), and the only chance I see is the required photos of principal applicant have decreased to TWO.

Hopefully there are no issues for any of us, iA.

Hello Everyone

I contacted my Mississauga MP last week and got a quick reply to fill out a consent form and have it sent along with my wife Full Name and DOB. i had sent an email stating that its been a long time since i have heard anything from the LVO. I have 2 little kids aged 5 and 8 months. ive explained how one cannot just leave work from Canada every month or so to meet with their family. just a return ticket to go to PAK is like 1500 depending on when you want to go. i know that the MPs have no influence over the officer but they can find out why its taking a long time. Hope to hear some good news. My wifes medical is going to expire in Nov 2016 and i have also informed my MPs office of the same.

Hoping for a positive outcome.

Thanks!

So, at 4 month mark, you should consider applying for a TRV. Most likely, it will be rejected however, this will prove and further validate your struggle to meet your spouse, in case if you are asked for interview etc. I know a lot of people (not on the Forum), tried to apply for TRV at 7 months, which is too late because it takes at least 3 months for the CIC to make a decision.

I recommend sending out a feeler to your MP, try to make them aware of your case. Let them know that you are just requiring an update. Any help would be appreciated.

MP will most likely come back and say nothing of concern. Please contact us in 2 months when we'll do another inquiry etc. Start ordering notes at your 7 month mark.

All the best!

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

oh, i didn't see that. does mississauga still process family class PR applications? i'm pretty sure they stopped a while ago.

nabia, check your sponsor approval letter to find out which visa office your application is being processed at. as far as i'm aware, mississauga only processes the sponsor and then forwards the application to another visa office (usually london for pakistani applicants).

I think that's right! It is in London now and being processed. I would have to speak to LVO since it said client should be advised visa decision letter that I need an E-Medical sheet. So I just attach the information sheet and the receipt? And explain to them what it said in the gcms notes?

You are right Nabia, attach the e-medical receipt and explain to them what you saw in notes.

Not sure about others, but the photographer stamped their store name, address and phone number and then I wrote date of birth for my wife.

Also I sent it in the package that photographer gave me and it had the name and address as well.

I'm worried now too. Because I included everything written on the back. They ask for the complete address of the photo studio, my photographer stamped it and write the name of the studio, street, number and the city as "RWP" meaning Rawalpindi, BUT DID NOT WRITE Pakistan. So will this be considered incomplete address? This is such an irrelevant detail!

Though i just though of a question ? .... if anyone can answer this .. when she does get her VISA what is the validity on it ? cuz medical is expiring in Nov 2016. will it be till the Medical or till Passport Validity ? and what if the passport is expiring next year ?

soo many questions .... lol

hope to get some replies !
