SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

[TheDarkKnight]

Admin please update.

26 September applicant,
Received Pre-arrival Services letter today (7th September 2018).
I guess they reviewed our additional documents yesterday upon which they passed eligibility and sent re-medical.

Hello esteemed members... I'm a Canadian Permanent Resident living in Toronto, while my soon-to-be spouse (fiance) lives in Karachi. We are going to have the Nikkah ceremony in December 2018 in Karachi and I intend to apply for spousal sponsorship asap. I looked at the forms and documents required and it seems like a very daunting task, does anyone have a link to a helpful guide for people like me.

Also my fiance and I spent some time together in the UK recently and have plenty of pictures from there, do we need to attach pictures of that trip as well or just pictures from Nikkah ceremony will suffice?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Go and do a proper marriage, not just Nikah.
Then sponsor her.
Refer to CIC website for details regarding sponsoring wife

I would disagree. There are a lot of nikah only cases (as listed on the spreadsheet) who got their applications processed within regular timeframes and without any enhanced scrutiny. Mine was also nikah only case and it got processed within 11 months.

So we agree to disagree.
Each to their own.

I agree with you immigration officer do see only Nikha case suspiciously and that make sense as well because they know Rukhsati is main thing after getting married in our culture and if there are some cases where pepple get lucky if they are not called for an interview that’s their pure luck in my opinion.

Hi there!

My husband (PA) is an ex-army officer and the AoR of his file is November 27th, 2017. We have two kids together. I ordered gcms notes on july 30th and received them by the end of august in which it is showing that his criminality check is in progress, medical passed and says nothing about security. The report was generated on 31st of july. However, he did receive pre-arrival letter on 25th of aug.

So the question is, would his BGC be extensive due to his past association with the arm forces? cause it’s been going on since the file was transferred to LVO which happened in May 2018 or even before than that.

Any expert opinion will be much appericiated.

Thanks

Yes he will go through some secondary screening process, which will take some time. You need to be patient a bit

anyone July 2017 applicant ??

20 July received application.
21 September medical passed.
file transferred to NDVO.
On 10 July 2018 case sent to LDVO from NDVO, redid medical and passed.

contact LDVO via webform they reply : additional review is required, we will contact you in next three months if further request required.

what the fuck is going on ....!!!!!! I cant understand !!!

any Idea ????

Well that sucks... I was stuck in security screening for a year during my own permanent residence application, I'm afraid that they might again put me and my spouse through the same process.

How much time did u take for BGC screening? Exact timeline would be highly appreciated

Hi everyone...
I’m an October applicant - I received notes a week ago, which tell me that my application was BF’d till September 1. In your experience, how long after the BF date did you hear something from CIC?
Also, there are no ‘concerns’ noted by the program assistant who initially reviewed my application. In your experience, how likely is it that CIC will now ask for additional docs to support validity of relationship or interview at this point?
My background/security has been ongoing since February. My MP says it’s normal and to just sit tight - that there is no ‘issue’ there either, processing is simply taking a long time. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
Really - this wait with no word at all is killing me...

Why they are unaccompanied?

Hi, My family circumstances didn't allow my wife and 2 children to accompany me and now the situation has changed so I want to sponsor them. Would appreciate if you can direct me to any step by step guide for spousal sponsorship?

 

[Acid]

Hi people, do we need to submit original documents (Nikah Nama, Birth Certificates etc) with spousal sponsorship? If yes, do CIC return them back after processing the application?

Yes, they send everything back to you after the whole process
