hey just a question...inshallah let's hope not... but what if ur requested an interview & ur not WITH ur spouse at that time? what happens then?
is the interview requested at islamabaad? does the interview always demand both spouses to be physically present with the officer?
any alternative like conference calling or something? idk jw. Undecided


Only principal applicant can go inside for interview. Sponsor does not need to be there but should be available on phone in case VO decided to confirm any information.


The sponsor does not need to be there but it leaves Visa Officer with good thinking that the sponsor is there. Your right, but not in all cases as I'm disabled and they allowed me in to wait for my husband. Once the Visa Officer knew I was there I was invited to the Interview and this was the deciding factor in our case. Others have been allowed in as well. I pray that all cases go quick In Sha Allah.....

No they don't need sponsor there but if you can arrange it makes your case stronger especially if you have to go for Interview.
May Allah make it easy for you In Sha Allah....

Putting URGENT will not speed it up at all. It takes 30 days and its not going to speed it up at all. Have patience I pray it goes fast for you In Sha Allah...

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hi guys,

Last week I sent my application for Quebec Selection with my credit card info and few days after that my bank called me saying that my credit card information has been stolen and someone tried to make an unauthorized purchase. It could just be a coincidence but I was wondering if someone else has a similar situation.

Also now my card had to be replaced so now I have to send different credit card info to Quebec immigration office, FML!

Not at all...I suffered for 2 years almost coz my nikkah was performed by a molvi from fsd n it has to b registered in the concerned union council where that molvi is authorized of... if u have used Pert from a molvi's register who is authorized to get his nikkah nama registerd to a specific union council of islamabad then ur nikkah can only be get registered in that very specific union council not in any union council or in any other city!!!

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

So I have a quick question and hoping someone could answer:

I received my SA on March 18th, 2016 and the email saying the file will be transferred to LVO. How long before ECAS shows decision made on the Sponsorship application side, and how long before principal applicant side shows in process.

We did upfront medical but the principal applicant still doesn't show anything about medical results. It only has 1 line that says we started processing the application on Feb 1, 2016.

I am sponsoring my wife, does LVO send an AOR to principal applicant once they start processing the file?

All updates on ECAS only as of now; no email to applicant - later on tho, not sure about who gets the email for additional docs reQ/interview/remeds; is it sponsor or applicant...(can someone answer this! :D)

& dw, u'll see the "meds received" line soon cause u did it upfront & these days average is 5-6 months from "in process" to DM. leave out those extremely lucky & exeptional cases of some people getting their DM's in just around 4 months after bein in process. but good for them tho! ;D

also, better to stick with the averages rather than getting dishearted at comparing exeptional speedy cases.
one of my friends that applied in april 2015 got his "in process" shown after 4-5 months after the SA :eek: but then got DM within a month after the "in process" :) so i guess its a give or take which step takes longer for whom. but usually "in process" to "DM" takes the most of the while cause that's where the bulk, or so to say 90% of the app is taken care of leaving out PPR & COPR stage.

on the otherhand, members on the forum here that filed in may-aug r getting DM's in 7-8 months whereas some are still waiting...
a recent applicant F.Q filed in very late sept i.e. 28/09 i think** & kudos to them they got their DM 2 days ago while some summer 2015 apps are stil on the waiting list.

i myself, applied in late oct, gonna be 3 months to be still in process waiting for DM. im gonna be real & maybe look out for something late april or even may.
sachh poochow DM ke baad bas 2 adh maheenay ki maar hey INSHALLAH. chalow worst case PPR, COPR dono ko alug alug se 1 month bi lag gaye to pher bi DM was the main concern inshallah; bashart yeke REMEDICALS & ADDITIONAL docs or interview request na i.
^in the case otherwise, u know, add another month or so for actually undergoing the procedure, when it gets to them, when they receive it & add it to ur file etc etc.

usually addtn'l docs request within 3-5 months after submitting ur app ajaya kerti hey ager kuch missing o...
since u guys got file transfer just recently, id say grab some popcorn (more so a few bags of them) & wait for the movie to begin... :p
u can maybe see some DM news sometime this summer (just my guess based on trends). realistic is better than dreaming fantasies. :)

chulow dayr ki anticipation rakhte han, juldi huwa to waarey neiyare! (sab kaho inshallah) god forbid let's say late ho, to allah ke hawaley! 8)

Ahahaha enjoyed your cheeky response!

No, I am in not in any rush and I have set my expectations for 12 months even with all the news of "speeding up the process" flying around. I made sure that every single document is valid, complete and up to date.
I am just going to forget about ECAS and forget that I ever applied for sponsorship and that will be the only way for these next few months to pass by smoothly. But its hard 8).
