Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

Brumgirl wrote:Yes forgot about the tb test and English test, will be submitting those too with lots of photos.
No council tax or any bills as I live with my parents.

By marriage registration certificate do you mean the marriage certificate? Cos I have that.
I have included convos and such. Everything I have, I have included. I've not deliberately left anything out. It was an arranged marriage so just have pics after the engagement and convos dating from when we first started talking.

With the housing, it's a company house so would I still need a letter from them?

I mean the computerised certificate, if you have that, then good.
Yes, applications have been known to get refused where the home owners permission has not been included in writing.

It may or may not have been checked yet, it's hard to say. But if you escalate your enquiry, you might get a more positive response. Saying that, it's only almost been a month yet. Most people wait at least 2 months before asking for updates.

Did you apply yourself or hired a solicitor?

Hi Guys,

I asked for a status update on my wife application on 19-04-2015 and received a reply that her application has been processed a decision was made and it should be with her in the next few days.

I am very anxious as she has not received any email or sms yet. When likely will she get an email or text from Gerry's to collect her passport? Is there a contact number for Gerrys Lahore to check if they received her docs from BHC?

Thanks.


Here is the timeline:

Type: Settlement
Application and Biometrics at Lahore: 30 Jan 2015
Received at BHC-ISB: 3 Feb 2015
First update: 4-03-2015: waiting to be assessed by ECO
Second update: 16-03-2015: waiting to be assessed by ECO
Third update: 29-03-2015: Requested to escalate the case but got a reply that its still in time scale and waiting to be assessed by ECO

It can take 3 to 6 months, so all you can do is wait.

Can you list all the documents you submitted with the application pls.

If you've lost it, then just include the passport number or just add a note saying you've lost it.

Did you hire a solicitor for all your applications?

Why were you refused each time?

Hi can anyone help
has someone got a copy of the declaration you need from the provider of funds if you are applying with cash savings only
thanks

Did you submit original statements and wage slips? If copies were they stamped and or have a covering letter?

The home evaluation, did you let the firm know you need for immigration purposes? Sounds like you got it done from an estate agent. They do do them, just need to make sure it's the right type.

Keep us updated on the outcome!
