If these are the additional documents then why they ask me all these things with schedule A, PCC, Medical.
CPC M, asked Schedule A, PCC, Medical, Nadra nikah nama ( Urdu & english was submitted upfront), Marriage & contract signing pictures etc, Financial proof, (Conversation Proof was submitted upfront)

This mean they shot me with additional documents too

We were asked for pictures, nikkah nama and certificate which was submitted before. We thought they might have misplaced it that's why they are asking for it. So dont worry submit them again.

They are not asking me for documents,
Actually all the above documents you mentioned as additional documents, They asked me previously in CPCM along with Schedule A, PCC, medical etc.

I am saying they took additional documents from me already.
while most of applicants submitting them later.
Now i have strong belief that every case is dealt differently.

Hi gang - I have a question. Actually a few...

Once my application has been transferred to LVO, what exactly is done with it? What takes them 11 months to process? Is it the background check? How exactly do they conduct a background check? Someone told me once that they actually send someone to your village/town in Pakistan to check you out. That can’t actually be true, can it?
Once your application is transferred to LVO, they check eligibility (genuineness of relationship), and do background checks (security and criminality of PA). It usually takes them a few months just to open your file, and BGC can take an undetermined amount of time, so that's why it can take 11-12 months. But some lucky 2017 applicants have gotten their visas in 3-5 months, so you never know. The BGC is done by third parties so it's not in their control. And no lol, they definitely don't send someone to check you out.

Believe it or not, but I have seen a relative's case (not spousal.. immigration) where they actually sent someone around neighborhood to inquire about them. We will never know what goes in the visa officers' minds. They clear all their doubts before making a decision. Sounds fair but genuine cases just end up suffering with the amount of time they take :(

Yeah, I have heard that too! But it was at least 2-3 years ago. They don't do it anymore owing to the huge amount of relationship evidence they ask for now.

And also, they did that for couples who claimed to be living together!

Thanks! What could be possible reason? why she is changing her last name in Jan 2018, after 8 months of our marriage?
Also, even after speedy work in Karachi, it may takes 4-6 weeks OR more to get her both New CINC and New Passport, which means i will get the copies of both by Mid Feb 2018 (means 7 months of my application processing time) and then LVO may takes another 25-30 days to update her record it means Mid Mar 2018? (8 months of my application processing time)?
Quite possible.
