My advise is to e-mail them after 4 week for the status, Coz I did the same and they reply to wait for 60 days?

But the day they reply, some other Case worker issued me visa at same day, this is another story that Gerrys return my passport after 15 days of issue day. Strange isnt it.

muzzi17.
in same one e-mail you can ask for your self and your wife, just indicate yours and her passport numbers, application numbers, and DOBs. It will be fine for them to extract your data.

This is what I assume I would do if I were you.

No one is star we learn from each other, which is beauty of this forum.

Thanks

Sorry to butt in here, but I think if you were to read the post Spousal visa from Pakistan in the immigration for family members, you will find all the answers there, as they are a lot more people there in exactly the same sittuation as you
