According to my immigration lawyer, This is only for important changes, not for additional proof of the relationship. This could also be considered to delay your file. Additional details provided maybe used as a reason to reconsider the verdict on a particular file so it may propagate further delays. Just my two scents.

You dont. You do not send any further information until or unless asked for. You only use this form for making enquires of an urgent nature, for instance not receiving correspondence from the visa office after having waited for a duration which exceeds the time mentioned on their website.

She received them in the mail today from London.
What does this mean?
Did anyone else receive some documents back?

This is normal, original documents are usually sent back to the applicant after the visa officer is done validating them.

Thanks for the kind words. It took several hours to search, setup and compile the info from the forum.
But I think it was worth it.
If you find the timelines spreadsheet helpful, please rate +1 for me.

Even better if you could raise awareness by adding to your profile signature:
Timeline Spouse sponsorship of Pakistan applicants: http://bit.ly/canpaktimeline

Also, if you notice new members or unreported cases, you can PM Mercy24 when new info discovered.

Special thanks to Zameer2u for helping promote and contribute some timelines.


Thanks to all for sharing their experiences. It's really beneficial for the community for their support and advice.
I can imagine that it did take a lot of time! Thank you and God bless you and your family for being so helpful and generous of your time/effort ...yes I will definitely rate this +1 and promote this as I do support it!

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello all!
So as I posted before I was confused about getting a response on where my file is and if the email I received is AOR, etc.
I called cic today and the agent confirmed that what I received was the AOR. I asked whether my file had been transferred yet and the agent said that my file is still being processed so it's still in Mississauga. She said that since it has been past the standard processing time she will send them a message to see what's going on.
Has anyone gone through this before? Is this ok/ normal??

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thx :)

Not entirely true, I know a couple cases that were asked to send additional proof (of travel and visit etc) before the final decision is made otherwise the office has the right to refuse the case.

Honestly, think about it. how can additional proof of a person going to visit his/her spouse make a case weaker? It only adds to that case

It doesnt make it weaker that is not what i said, it just causes further delays because the visa officer has to process further documentation when it isnt even need. Yes, WHEN asked you send additional proof. When it is not broken, don't fix it.
