SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

[MM345]

I emailed LVO on Dec 08, 2017 for the status update on our file and I received the following reply today from them:

Dear Applicant,

Please be advised that this application awaits a full review in London. Once this review has taken place, we will be in contact.

Please note that you may wish to consult our website for information regarding standard processing timeframes.


-----------------

Anyone please advise what is a full review? has the initial review already done?

Our application was received on June 20, 2017 at CPC-M and transferred to LVO on Septemeber 12.

I think your file hasn't been reviewed by any officers at LVO yet. At this time they are still finishing 2016/early 2017 applications which have crossed 12 months.

Hello everyone, sorry for the long hiatus from the group. We got a PFL on Dec 22. Since then life has been dark gloomy and well hopeless. Don't worry I will share the details of the PFL here and how we are tackling it.

The officer thinks our marriage is not genuine because it's a love marriage and that is culturally unusual (Yup you read it right!).
They also asked for:
1) (yet again) Urdu NN
2) Photo of rukhsati
3) More wedding photos showing more guests etc
4) Communication proof since wedding
5) statement of when we decided to get married and when we informed our families.

So now we are:
1) Getting an urdu NN made, will attach a letter from registrar that English is legal but because CIC is insisting we are getting an Urdu one made again.
2) We don't have a picture of me sitting inside the decorated car, or being walked out by my family for various reasons. However we do have lots of pictures of all the other more fun stuff from the wedding, like dance performances, photo booth, on stage with lots of people etc. We are explaining (with evidence) why pictures were not taken at the time of our exit, giving a rukhsati certificate, showing pictures of us inside the hotel room where we stayed for 3 nights after wedding, photos of me inside his house with his family, and then my visit in spring of this year flight detail, visa and stamps on passport, receipts of shopping etc we did, lots of photos we took with family and friends during my trip. CIC needs to update its checklist either internally or online to ensure couples pay close attention to these details. Anyone else have the same issue and how they got out of it would really appreciate your help in this regard specifically.
3) Lots of pics in total maybe 250 for 3 events
4) communication proof since marriage and we have given proof of communication from 2008 - wedding date as well.
5) statement with proof of when we told our mothers, when they talked, when we decided to get married etc.
6) we have included as supporting evidence:
a) receipts of gifts we sent each other on birthdays and at random
b) money we transferred on birthdays and Eid
c) letters from family members explaining our circumstances at wedding, missing rukhsati photo, vouching that our rukhsati has indeed taken place etc
d) My name on my husbands work health insurance, his name on my CRA profile
e) facebook posts of friends and family wishing us anniversary, us writing on each others wall, wishing birthdays, comments and likes of friends on our wedding pictures etc
f) communication between his family and myself, and my family and him. We are in each others family groups screen shots of that, screenshots of his conversations with my family or my chats with his siblings etc
g) other messages of friends on whatsapp where we are talking about my spouse, or he is talking about me with other people etc

We have also hired a lawyer in Canada who will argue that not everyone follows the same traditions, and if the marriage is legal and genuine then rejecting based on not following traditions is a form of discrimination. We have prepared a 550 page long document which the lawyer is going to review in the next few days until our Urdu NN is done. Wish us luck and any suggestions regarding the lack of photo at the time of rukhsati will be greatly appreciated.

We are hoping for a positive response, but that is all we can do.

Thanks.

sorry to hear about your PFL Kinza, Hope things go smooth and steady from now on InshaAllah. I see you have already taken some good measures in response to PFL and I wish u get succeed sooner. Prayers xx

You have asked this multiple times and I have told you many times that sponsor details are not required since s/he is already PR/Citizen. I have already landed and I'm speaking from my experience. Even if u add sponsor detail nothing bad would happen.

I am wondering about a Nika Namma. I keep reading about how the embassy asks for Urdu NN. My NN is in English. Are they going to still ask for an Urdu copy. In order to avoid delay should I get that English one translated in Urdu? I am not sure. Both of my NN and marriage certificate is in English.

Hello Kinza Bee,

Did you see any red flag on your GCMS notes before getting pfl? When did you apply for PR.

I applied for my wife on Feb 2017 and have not received anything yet according to the gcms notes an interview is required but not sure when it will happen ?

PFL will say PFL on GCKey as well. Our MP rep said all additional docs are PFL, I think she is wrong. Any way it will say we they think the marriage is not genuine and are giving us a last chance to prove the genuineness of our marriage before they reject our application.
