Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[faceman123]

Can someone confirm if a national identity card of pakistan is not produced does this stop the spouse traveling NICOP has confused me

[stillwaiting123]

Does anyone know for an appeal if it is better to resubmit copies of all documents initially submitted with the appeal or only the ones that are relevant to the appeal?

Relevant to the appeal they don't need the whole case file

[adnan111]

Realised that I applied under category A when I should have applied under category F. So not positive now about outcome.

But I have the additional documents so I don't know if they will write asking for additional documents or reject it and I may then have an option to send the additional documents. Anyway looking at further delay.

People please take your time and seek legal advice if necessary and get it right the first time as it is demoralising to be rejected and have to go through everything again. Most rejections are due to ignorance of the rules.

In Shaa Allah all will work positive for you ...
Duas are with you
Takes this month to ask Allah wholeheartedly and in Shaa Allah all will be fine

Thank you for your duas. I am always positive, at the worst it can be delayed by upto 3 months, so not the end of the world. I sent the accounts for the last financial year, and the payslips, P60 and bank statements for the current year. Now the financial year has just ended and new accounts should be out in a couple of weeks so just have to send a new ct600.

If anyone has received a rejection please can you advise what the wording for administrative review is on the letter, and can you present new evidence.

[quote="S.y.h"]Hello all! I applied online on 10th April 2015, submitted documents in islamabad on the 14th of April and received a text from BHC on the 15th of April. Still waiting for the visa I emailed them and they replied that my application is waiting to be assessed. Anyone who applied around that time received their visa yet? I need to enter before the 10th of July to secure a place in school for my son. So stressed now![/quote]

Nicop card required or not to exit pakistan on spouse visa???

Nicop card required or not to exit pakistan on spouse visa???

Yes I think it is a requirement for Pakistani nationals. If you are a foreign national but entered Pakistan with a card then they also sometimes ask to see it. Sometimes they may not ask but sometimes they ask and you don't want to be refused a flight just because of not having an ID card.

[faceman123]

Wife doesnt have nicop, can she travel to uk without it???

[adnan111]

It does not have to be NICOP but she does need a Pakistani ID card.

Adnan thanks for reply, so are you sure just id card not nicop card

How can she have NICOP when she lives in Pakistan? NICOP is for people that live overseas. She just needs the Pakistani ID card, even this they may not ask for but they could if they wanted to.

Thanks alot, can someone confirm this really stressed out

Thanks alot, can someone confirm this really stressed out

Well for what its worth my wife does not have NICOP as she lives in Pakistan and NICOP is for people that are already settled overseas. She will be flying out just with her ID card when she gets her visa. Even if she wanted to I doubt NADRA would issue her with a NICOP. When she comes here and has to renew her ID card then she will get NICOP.

I am sure someone will comment on it.

I would suggest maybe give them a call and speak to an agent maybe that might get the ball rolling because read your updates that's ridiculous of them.

Hope you hear in the coming week
In Shaa Allah

I agree too, however what is your openion on the below source from Nadra official website:
https://www.nadra.gov.pk/index.php/nicophome
"Who can apply
NICOP is meant for Pakistanis who are working and / or living abroad. ."
NICOP is also a mandatory requirement for Pakistani citizens holding a visa for a country (other than Pakistan) valid for more than Six months
I have also read that NICOP card and Protected paasport is mandatory for anyone from Pakistan who hold Work permit visa but dot not require for the Visit or settlement visa.
On the link provided above it does not say that NICOP is only manadatory for workpermit visa but it says that NICOP card is manadatory for anyone who have visa for any other country longer than 6 month.
Please comments/advice on this

Isn't it the case that you get an initial 3 months visa and get 30 months after arrival.

Nope you get 30-day vignette to arrive in the uk, More likely 3 weeks by the time you get passport back.

Can someone confirm their spouse has arrived without Nicop card?
