SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

[RisingXPhoenix]

Hello all. I’ve been lurking seeing what people have to say here over time waiting to see if any progress is ever made in recent time. I saw mention of a letter to the Minister of Immigration here in Canada and honestly I’m not sure how effective that will be for changing how London does things but you can try for sure.

I just did a web form enquiry for my wife’s application and I saw this on the website before the web form. If this imgur image is to be believed, this delay everyone is having here could be for a while and honestly them doing this prioritizing is dumb and unfair. What about the people who have been waiting for over a year or in Chawais’ case years... Ugh so annoying.

Hello all, I Am a Feb 2018 case (complicated case, received PFL, ADR and then interview) and received “Decision Made” on Permanent resident status on April 8, no PPR yet. Upon inquiring, received the following email. Hopefully This ordeal is closer to the end.

Once we have returned to regular operations, you will be provided with correspondence outlining next steps in order for our office to complete processing. We are unable to provide a timeframe for when the next correspondence will be sent.

Just like @rah_2019 I emailed LVO on Friday.

Recieved the exact same response word for word..... even the misspelled 'your' in the beginning.

I believe that this means that our file is waiting for a person to check if they need additional document requests before handing it over to the immigration officer.

My understanding is that case analysts ask for additional documents if required (in my case they did in Jan and I submit all on 30th Jan)) once we submit then it will send it to the immigration officer (currently my wife application stuck at).

Hello Everyone
Someone told me that UK Government is going to ease the lockdown from June 1st. Is anyone here who knows when the LVO will resume their work? More than 2 months have been passed since we witnessed the last update in this thread. Now 11 weeks remaining as GCkey stated but i didn't get the AoR2 yet. File was moved to LVO on January 13, 2020 and after that complete silence.

U do realize that takes like 2-3 months max. Not long haul at all. Especially since they will process faster since they have a deadline to meet.

Hi guys
I read news that Provincial and federal government is returning to legislature houses. May be this is going to kick start the halted work at London visa office since these are all interlink to each other. Also if government is working that means cic including internal and external offices would start working again. All the best from June 1st.

True but LVO has been trying to play catchup since they close down shop in pakistan and move all the cases to LVO, it depends on case to case i dont believe it will be 2-3 months but if you're right that would be great.
