Dear bilal. everyone on this forum uses their username/forum names to the spreadsheet. If you don't use your forum name nobody will be able to recognize you and it will become difficult for 2016 applicants to communicate with you as they will not know you.So if you don't mind please change it. :)

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello everyone,

I am about to submit the application to sponsor my wife (from Pakistan) but have a few questions. I have just started working as an accountant assistant (chartered) from June 1st of this month. I don't earn much it below $1000/month but I have heard people who earn only $300/month being able to show how they will support their spouse. I know income is not directly required but it's still good to show something. Anyway, long story short, I am planning on starting my studies for the MCAT from August 1st, so basically I WILL QUIT MY job in 2 months. The job is with a relative of ours and she will give me an employment letter. Also, does the employment letter need to have anything special like its made from "letter head" or whatever or just a printed normal sheet is fine? I was worried that if I submit my app this week to sponsor my wife and quit the job after 2 months, that if they ask for my employment details after that, then I will have to say that I left my job. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks

--Repost from the main spousal thread--


Hi Guys,

Can some of you have a look at the checklist below and advise me if I am missing something. The application is for my wife in Pakistan

Supporting Docs

1. Original Nikah-Nama with Certified Translation from a Canadian Agency (Do I need to get this notarized as well if I am sending the original per Form 3907e)

2. Marriage Certificate From Nadra (Has English & Urdu) - Attested

3. Birth Certificate -for both of us- (These are not original but the Bayform or whatchumaccallit) - Translated from Canadian Certified thingy

4. Original transcripts for the wife. She did not want to let these ones go, my head on a pike if CIC loses these.

5. Police Certificate. Just curious this thing expires in July, should I get another one made ?

6. Medical done two months ago

7. Attested CNIC copy

8. Attested copies of all her Pakistani Passports (including old ones)

9. Her passport mugs

10. Wedding pics

11. Chat Histories whatsapp, emails, travel iternaries, etc.

12. Forms - by the truckloads

13. My degrees from Uni

14. Employers blessing

15. Proof of getting my a$$ probed by Revenue Canada every year - Also known as Option C printout

Please tell me if I am missing anything. Muchos Gracias
anyone who could help? i'm also going to submit my application soon so please help us.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello Everyone,
I had a question regarding form IMM 3907E. For the residency questionnaire for Pakistan, question 13 asks for details of residence for the sponsor AFTER the principal applicant has submitted the application (which has yet to be done). I have previously resided in Pakistan but that was before the application and was wondering if I have to include it as well. Furthermore, I am currently residing in Canada and would my wife have to include that too. Thanks for the help!

PPR = Passport Request.
In Pakistan PPR comes in 2 steps [PPR-1 & PPR-2].
PPR-1.....London Visa office send PPR-1 through email asking for recent photos, passport copies and a form.
PPR-2.....London VO send PPR-2 through email. Original Passports should be submitted to Islamabad VO for Visa stamping.
Normally (PPR-1) takes 3-5 months after medical done & (PPR-2) 4-6 weeks.
PPR1 was a common step when applications were transferred from Islamabad to the London visa office and initial applications they received directly.
It has largely been phased out to reduce the red tape.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

I have a question. Some members mentioned that people get dm within month after remed. My medical is expiring this month but my file is in queue for interview at islamabad VO. I haven't got any mail regarding medical. Does the same thing applies to my case or they will delay medical request till interview is done??

yes. once your interview is complete, they'll continue their final background checks and request a remedical.

did your gcms notes mention why they're recommending an interview in your case? i'm really confused as to why they sent you a doc request if they wanted an interview... and even then they didn't ask you to submit more proof of relationship before putting you in the queue. that is odd.

In GCM notes it said interview recommended under eligibility. I have already sent them relationship proof including pics/ boarding passes of my last visit. I also sent them communication proof of calls details. But last week I was told that my file is in islamabad VO for interview.
