[shaniHaroon]

Hello guys,
I have just apply to spouse visa online for my wife from pakistan ,although i wanted to choose priority visa option while i was paying visa fee but there was only one option by default as a "Standard", so I paid standard visa fee as 225163 PKR and then I used VFS online cart and paid extra 551 GBP to make my application process as a priority, but i am not sure is the right way to do, any comments will be helpful for clarification thanks

Yes this is the correct way ... if you purchased Priority of the VFS Global website, make sure you take this with you to the Biometrics appointment so they know its a priority application and also send a copy of the receipt they give you which confirms Priority and your email confirmation with the application.

Stick the priority print-out all over the documents package you send to Sheffield.

And keep one copy in section 1.

any experience with is kind of issue will provide me guideline, thanks

I put originals and copies in a separate folder and submitted both folders together.

The copies folder, when returned, appeared to be completely untouched.

Did you pay for the visa fee online or your Mrs paid for it at biometric appointment?
Can it be paid online?

As far as I am aware, no contact was made.

I was made redundant couple days after Biometric appointment. So in the end my application consisted of letter of employment from both old and new jobs, signed by each Line Manager respectively. Neither have mentioned receiving a call.

Yes, both options are available. It's easier to just do it online. Make sure you plaster the priority receipt over your documents package and also include within the documents bundle.
