What options do we have other than waiting and/or contacting the MP, if we're stuck in bgcs for 6 months? There must be something...

Hi,
Anyone recently received gcms notes ?
It's been 28 days since I applied but did not receive them yet.

In confirmation email it says we have to wait till 31 calendar days.

You have answered your own query. sometimes they even take more than 31 days.

biometrics are required only for TRV for Pakistani applicants

Meri zaban kaali nahi aur na hi interview ka experience hy but mujay lgta hy officer was not 100% convinced by your answers at the spot. However, it's a good thing that they took the communication proofs. At least they'll read that and make a judgment afterwards. Sometimes they are just confused and they ask their supervisors for second opinion. Trust in Allah and pray. Also order GCMS notes so that you can read if the officer made any comments.

Did you get any idea what was their major concern for calling u for interview?

why LVO or Interviewer request for FB proof? or long distance call proofs or email proofs?
Not everyone using FB and even if they use it not necessary to post his or her spouse pics on FB. I know so many of my friends don't post their wife's or husband OR their family pics on FB for their privacy point of view.
Now when we have Whatsapp audio and video calls 24 x 7, then why we should be communicating via emails? OR making PAID long distance calls?
Thats doesn't make any sense to me?

I haven't visited Pakistan since Feb. 2017 i.e after marriage. Regarding other travel histories I and my wife have been visiting different countries and I have been living in France for 6 years and she has been to Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, and Iran for Umrah and Ziaaraat in last 10 years but not each other in Canada.

I submit recommended 10 pages personal communications; 1 page of screenshot of phone calls while in Pakistan and staying together; one page SMSs of regular Pakistani telecoms, two pages of WhatsApp calls (infact call history of two different days and there were other calls as well but mostly between us); two pages of screen shots of WhatsApp messages; remaining of the 10 pages were our whatsapp conversation which was downloaded as text file but pasted on a page for printing it means around 100 - 200 messages. They were fine with the communication; the only thing they required more were our snaps we submitted 21 (20 are recommended ) but they asked even more so I again uploaded around 10/15.

Yes you are right and I agree with you.

That being said, LVO asks for "communication proof". They never specify to submit FB or Google hang out etc. It's the couple's own discretion how they wana communicate regularly and you can submit all your personal evidence. But it's hard to imagine that somebody doesn't communicate with their spouses daily if they have a genuine relationship. When you send out a minute long voice message every hour to your significant other, LVO values that because it shows that effort was being made to talk with the spouse. They're not necessarily interested in our gossip Like I am an emotional freak and we talk 24/7 I don't use FB much and when I am at work it's easy to send out whatsapp messages. If I am unable to get my wife's attention, I miscall her on mobile if she's not answering then I send out email. We talk on skype and if skype is not working we use hangout. So the point is, we make sure we stay in touch though we live apart and there is huge time difference.

FYI: When we had to submit proofs, Oh my God! we had sOooo much to put together and then we realized that we never shut up all year round

We got the letter before any decision made or PPR. I got remedical request and next day received the pre-arrival services letter.

Admin plz update. I submitted passport for TRV stamping today. Our myaccount Status also changed for the re-medical today. It states "You passed the medical exam" Thank you.

But i didn't get any re-medical or PPR request. Still waiting, it has been more than a week since DM and pre-arrival letter. I received pre-arrival letter the same day as DM status change.

Guys - great news.
We received COPR today @ 10am. So happy
Just have to send in the passport for the visa to be attached.

When did you get DM? And did you receive any pre-arrival letter?
Was it PPR or COPR?
