Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Dear friends and members,

As many of you know the processing times at London visa office has increased from 11 months to 29 months to resolve 80% of the cases received. Undoubtedly, this is because of the processing of principal applicants from Pakistan.

If you are concerned about these processing times or empathize with people that have to endure such a long period without being with their loved one and you would like to show your support or find ways to contribute, you can:

1) Sign the petition

2) Email family, friends and colleagues informing them of your situation and requesting support to sign the petition

3) Add to your signature in your profile:
Improve spouse sponsor processing time: http://tinyurl.com/majlurl

Here is a sample email but you can customize to your own particular case:
=============================================================================
Dear friends and family,

Recently Immigration Canada has changed the processing time of spouse sponsorship's for Pakistani nationals from 12 months to 30 months. My wife is pregnant and I am so anxious to bring her here to see family, friends and enjoy time with our newborn baby in Canada.
I have setup a petition that is not only about me but for everyone that is affected by these very long processing times from around the world.
I would sincerely appreciate if you could send to your friends, family and colleagues in spreading this message for help and support.

You can sign the petition at: http://tinyurl.com/majlurl

Thanks kindly,
Ishan Ali.
========================================================================

This is an election year and I believe there is strength in numbers.

Do you think you have better odds of getting a visa issued if you applied for a study visa instead?
Equal planning, respective factors, keen selection of either path is required.

because your NIKAH is after submission of your application, you will have to add your wife and inform your visa office.usually wife must be living with you.

you are on right track. If you can delay, it will save you from many complications and further wait associated with spousal immigration.

Yes exactly. INSHALLAH .. I hope this way the VO believes that its a legit marriage. Coz I will only do nikah and file her papers thats it.
She dont have to change her name right? Will there be change in passports for marital status ?

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

All I can suggest as a solution to the brutality of CIC is that please please please make sure once you are in Canada and start family Plz plz make sure at least one kid becomes a lawyer and ultimately immigration lawyer. That's typical Canadian way of revenge, someone is dying of cancer he doesn't care about himself anymore but he makes sure he does whatever he can to fight this monster for everyone else( terry fox is just one example).
Micmac I'm flying to Pakistan and I have a bit issue of restless leg syndrome that's why it's hard to sit for that long even if you are in business class. Even though using their wifi service on board does help a bit :).
But indeed can't wait to see my wife and everyone else in the family.
