SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

[smartshady]

Add me to that ''lucky list'. I'm 2nd marriage, same age gap as you, no walima, only stayed 4 days after the marriage, no mutual accounts or same address etc. Got pre-arrival last week without interview. Feb 2018 applicant. I did visit her for 2 weeks few months ago.

I had ordered GCMS notes which I just recieved few days ago and the officer had noted all these things, however he said based on the proof provided he is satisfied the marriage is genuine. He mentioned we both look good together and we both have same university level education.

me too..I only stayed with her for 7 days... couldn't visit her afterwards due to new jobs till now....but i called her daily two to three times with alot of msgs.. i ordered gcms notes in which VO said we look comfortable together...well I was so happy he didn't put us in interview queue...I hope everyone get as lucky as us...

Guys I need urgent help with something....the letter for passport request says this "
A) To submit your package to Islamabad:
Applicants residing in Pakistan or Afghanistan should submit the documents listed to our office
in Islamabad (not to our London office). Please see the VFS Visa Application Centre (Pakistan)
website for details on how to transmit your passports to the Canadian High Commission:
http://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/Pakistan/." Now my question is can we submit passport to Lahore VAC as I heard from somewhere you can submit passport anywhere in Pakistan...anybody knows anything? Really appreciate your help with this.

My paystubs and tax forms...and with this passport request they have an form to fill with family information like they wanna see if we have child or not or something...

Do you have any travel history or any other red flag on ur Schedule A?

 

[Mirolomi]

Do you have any travel history or any other red flag on ur Schedule A?

No red flag. Of course I have travel history with my wife we were on honeymoon as well as on vacations. I personally traveled once as well. That’s it.

By the way how you can find red flag or something ? Where does it showing?

How can gcms notes help me ? How useful is it ? Is it necessary should I do that or its not that important?
