I have sponsored my wife from Pakistan, I am finding the entire status update thing quite ambiguous, I really don't find it helpful and since I have been unsuccessful in reaching a live agent on the phone after calling almost daily at different times of the day for past several months, and getting no response to my online inquiries, I finally searched online and found this form, and I hope that someone here might be able to give some clarity to my situation:
- my application was received on March 19, 2018
- medical results received on May 9, 2018
- and since June our status has been the same as seen below:
- on August 24th I received a letter stating that the application has been forwarded to the London Visa Office for further processing but all the statuses remain unchanged from June.
1.Review of eligibility: We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements. (Does this status change or remains the same even when the eligibility is established? Can't tell if this stage is still in process)
2.Review of medical results: You passed the medical exam.
3.Review of additional documents: Not applicable.
4.Interview: You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
5.Biometrics: We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
6.Background check: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check. (We still haven't received any message regarding the commencement of the BG check, so does it mean in 7 months they haven't even started the BG check?)
7.Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.
I'm not sure what to expect at this moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
