I replied you in London forum. Check it.
"Hi paknew,
Thanks.... our background check took a year.I was continuously in touch with MP in Canada. I was getting the reply eligibility has been passed,criminality has been passed, its the security part of background which took them longer. MP said we cant interfere with background checks so we cant do anything. We have crossed the limit of frustration. All other file was cleared, no additional information was needed, just waswaiting for background checks. My husband submitted his third medical in June 2016. I even contacted my MP mid of July and still same. Then suddenly we got decision made and passport request. My husband was in UK when we applied, then he moved to Pakistan a year ago.
Just be patience. Hopefully you will get there soon. Do you have any idea when your background checks were started ?"

Hi Mary23,

My Eligibility, Criminality, 1st Medical was already passed. My re-medical was done in May-2016. MP told us that my file is in routine background check. We first came to know that my file is under background check in Sep-Oct 2015 from MP and upon our recent inquiry (in Aug-2016) we again came to know (from MP and Visa Officer) that my file in under routine background check. I don't know how much time they will need more to complete this background check.!! Really frustrating.

My visa officer is "REO". Who was yours?

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

I was thinking of applying for visit visa for my wife and child(10 months old). I recently submitted the application last month and i have not received AOR yet. I heard that they mostly reject the visit visa for spouse during sponsorship process and the main reason of rejection is to not have strong ties to Pakistan as they suspect that the spouse will not return. In our case
My wife is not working and does not have any property or bussiness on her name. so she does not have strong ties.

Do think is it worth trying? do you know of any case in which the spouse was given visa even after having weak ties to Pakistan?

Thanks

october 2015: minimum 7.6 months, maximum 8.5 months, average 8.1 months.

it took them 40-50 days after the first doc requests to get PPR. november may have 2-3 more weeks to go before they start getting PPRs.
