Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

hi,

i have applied for spousal sponsorship wife case.

file sent to islamabad : "September 16 2013"
file transfer to london : no email was received and CIC had no status update the status is still set to "Application Received"

So i made an enquiry on "September 17 2014" after a year (london visa office time line) with some document updates to help them with further evidence..job update etc… and also asking them about status of the file. London visa office replied with following email asking the hard copy of the documents which i mailed them and they received the documents on "October 14 2014".

Question : Have anyone gotten reply like that, if so, then how long it took after that, any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone!
Those of you who have received your visa in Spousal Sponsorship, I need your advice. Should I send "Original" Educational documents with the application? This seems scary as the process takes long and what if my wife needs her original educational documents in the mean time? Or what if CIC loose the documents? I am very confused....I'll really appreciate your suggestions.
thanks,
they usually ask for the original. i dont think u have any other option but to send original and there has been cases where they send u original docs like these back early while ur case is still in process. i got my original nikah nama back a year into the processing time.

i also think if your wife needs them you can always request them via email that you need them. mention the docs and they will send u and keep the copy.

but yea do send the originals

Hi, I have question for expert on the pakistani to apply as commonlaw partner. following is my case.

• I am Canadian Citizen (since 2004)
• Married in 2004 and sponsored my 1st Wife(x-wife), she came to Canada in jan 2006
• Had 2 Kids with Her.
• Divorced her in 2008 in Pakistan. X-wife still living in Canada she got her divorce certificate in canada in 2010 from Ontario court.
• Re-married in 2009 to lady with 1 dependent Boy. She only has the stamp paper that shows States that her X-husband is divorcing her (No certificate of divorce).
• Now i Have 3 kids with my 2nd wife living together since 2009 with 1 of her dependent kid.
• Question now i have is, should i apply as common law or married spouse category. Since me and my 2nd wife did not have the union council certificate of divorce when we got married in 2009. If we get them now it will show that date that we applied for the divorce certificate and not the date that divorce was commenced.

Also how can I know if my x-wife applied for welfare. I have not received any notification from any government department regarding dues or payment.
this is very intense situation you have there. if you apply as married they wont accept it because your wifes and yours divorce date on the certificate will be different then you marriage date. this will show that before divorce you got married to her. and they wont accept it. you can apply as common law. that would be second option or get married to her after she receives her divorce certificate. i mean paper marriage.

you have to keep in mind that your wife was married,,divorce and then re married. thats the step you have to follow and apply based on that if you want to apply as married couple.

i know of a case where nikah certificate of seccond marriage was issued before and divorcee certificate was issued.. and that was issued just after some days. they did not accept it.

i hope you got wat i said, if ur confused message me in private. i can talk to you and explain.

for you common law would be best option. i suggest you consult some lawyer.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

i have received confirmation mail from cic on September 10, 2013

You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative(s) has been forwarded to a visa office abroad for further processing.
Should you need to submit additional information or make any further enquiries regarding the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative(s), you may contact the visa office by e-mail, fax, or in writing as follows:

Islamabad High Commission of Canada Visa Section P.O. Box 1042 Islamabad Pakistan


After this i received this mail on 24 October 2013.


Previously you received correspondence from our office stating that your file was being forwarded for further processing in Islamabad, Pakistan. For operational reasons your application has instead been re-routed for processing to the overseas office identified below. This correspondence replaces the previous notification you were sent.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hi guys !

I was just looking for some feedback. I applied for my husband in November 2013. My file was received by the Missisauga office on Dec 6 2013 and was transfered to LVO on Jan 21 2014. Its been 10 months now since, and I have heard absolutly nothing back from London. Should I be worried? I only have 1 month left untill their "11 moth period" Is it likely that my husband will get his visa by then? This wait is so hard and depressing, and everyday I hope i'll get something, anything back from them letting me know where they are in the process, but nothing. :(

Applicants received correspondence in Jan2014 related to re-route of applications actually the files were received or transferred to LVO in feb2014 as per MP office and even if you order your notes you will see this.... but the good news is they are confirming that current processing time is 11months from the date office received the complete application... lets pray and be patience....

Me an and you have the almost same timelines, my file went to London in January 27th. I haven't heard anything back yet either. But look on the bright side, at least you dont have to wait 3 years. I'm confident London is doing it much faster. Even if it take 12-14 months considering that good luck
