We are in Islamabad. I had booked my tickets very early before the DM. My mother wanted to visit Pakistan for 2 months.
We will be leaving back to Toronto on 25-Dec. I have not heard any news of original documents being received in Canada even though my parents are home.
In that case, I would send case specific inquiry.

If someone posts their timeline here and is being processed via London then they will be added to the spreadsheet.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Andrew is maintaining a spreadsheet for London Visa office and Micky/Mercy24 are doing it for Pakistani applicants at LVO. Interview problems, background checks, interview in Pakistan by LVO. The time and constraints for Pakistani applicants are entirely different from other LVO applicants. We have a dedicated thread for London applicants, if someone is interested he can visit that.
Separate thread and Spreadsheet for Pakistani applicants is a great initiative, I would request/recommend to continue it. However, Andrew can copy the information from spreadsheet maintained by Micky/Mercy24 to the LVO spreadsheet.

I agree with you on this. The London spreadsheet was there for very long time and it tracked applicants from Pakistan and European countries. I think we should track them all in one under London. It will help us understand how is London moving overall for everyone.

Senior members,

Can you comment on below inquiry?


mz_canada572 said:
Guys,

Wanted to know if anyone just received their and their spouses birth certificate in mail. I did not receive any other original documents such as Marriage certificate, police certificate pictures...

I dont even know if this is a good sign or not.

I am a bit annoyed by lack of transparency by LVO about application as we cannot set proper expectations. Looks like judging from others timeline is not really a good approach as well as the decisions are all over the place.

I have ordered notes but still 18 days after from receiving notes.

For those who received their originals back, are we expected to get our whole application package (chats logs, pictures, originals documents) back excluding the forms.

I emailed lvo yesterday and recieved this reply today:

Dear Applicant,

Please be advised that we have received your spouse’s medical report and the file has been updated accordingly. Your husband’s application is in the final stage of processing and we will contact you/him once a final decision has been made on the application.

Kind regards,

SF(GS)

What is the final stage?? How long might it take? This is getting really frustrating :(

Salaam everyone,

I have a question about the Re-Med.

My husband in Pakistan received a re-med request today. It is a great news, but, I am little puzzled with their request.
Following is what they are asking for;

In order to provide your application with an updated validity we require following additional medical examination(s) for your self and your spouse.
Chest Xray
Complete Medical report chest x-ray requisition and report form (page 5 and 6 of IMM5419)
Duly completed Re-assessment Form

When we submitted the application in October 2014, my husband had the medical, but now they are asking for "your self and your spouse". Is this something new?

I live in Canada. Do I have to do the medical too. I am confused. Can someone please help me out.

Thanks,
Hi everyone,
I need some help. CIC is asking for the RE-Med for me too. I am not sure how to respond back or who to contact at this point. Should I just ask my husband to do the Re-Med in Karachi and see what happens, or should I book an appointment for myself too in Canada (where?)

Is there anyone received similar request?

Thanks,

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello.
Thanks for the reply. Well im not sure when back ground check started but it may be after august 19 because that was when we got last correspondence from them. I asked my lawyer about how long it will take,he said that we can not predict because it vary from person to person and he is hopeful that we wil get ppr before end of this year,.
When did your background check start and are you sponsoring wife or husband?



paknew said:
Hi girl89,

I'm also April-2014 applicant and waiting for DM. We have came to know couple of weeks ago thru MP that our case is also in background check but don't know since when. Can you tell me since when your background check was started?

We are in the same boat and facing same conditions. Ask your lawyer as he may be some idea that how much time LVO usually takes in background check. You are also requested to share with me also. It seems that March-2014, April-2014, May 2014 cases are getting delay due to some reasons. Pls check with your lawyer and share his words with me also.

Waiting for your feedback. Tnx
