No. Call VAC Lahore first in the morning..!! they will tell you if they have received it or not. it usually takes 24 to 48 hours for passports to get shipped from CHC Islamabad to VAC. You will get another text saying your passport is ready to be collected in VAC Lhr.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Question:

Do they update in ECAS about approval of sponsor and transfer of file to LVO or they just notify by email?
I got email about a week ago but ECAS still shows "Sponsor application in process" and "Applicant's application received".

Sallams,

ALLAH ka bhut bhut shukar..!! The long ordeal process of 1 year 5 months and 27 days finally comes to an end..!! my wife received her passports back from CHC Islamabad with the visa. :) and in the marriage of 1 year 11 months only spend 70 days with her went through all remeds, additional docs, notes CSE and what not..!!! but really thanks to ALLAH for finishing this process for us and Pray for all of you that you get to meet your loved ones really soon. :)

It took 12 days for PPR to get processed. and amazingly 5 days from DM to PPR. Well I think because of the baby my case was not normal anymore, don't get depressed by these numbers.

I want to thank all of you who were always there when we need help, consoling , guidance , inspiration..!! special thank to all members who helped me on PMs also to mercy24 for creating that wonderful spreadsheet.

I will be here helping others whenever and wherever I can from my experience.
Congratulations!!!! And best wishes for the happy ever after!! :) :) :)

I have already received an email saying that SPONSOR HAS BEEN APPROVED AND FILE IS TRANSFERRED TO LVO. But my ECAS is not updated and dont know how much time it will take to "Applicant's application" to be in process.

Have you ordered notes yet? That should tell you if your background checks are started yet or not

My wife's file was stuck in eligibility for the longest time. It has been cleared today after MP informed me that the LVO will proceed with background/security checks. My wife's medical was renewed in August already.

How long do you think background checks will take now?
