Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

I am sponsor and I have linked application to my account. I didn't face any difficulty

2. Application Number and Family Name - Copy/pasted application number from email (including the F) and entered PA's last name.
3. City of Birth - I entered 1 space (hit spacebar once)

5. Passport Info - Did not enter any passport info
6. Other Application Info - Filled out the other application info as per our application and put '2' as the number of members in the application. 1 sponsor, 1 PA, no dependents.

You do not need to uploaded passport copy on MYCIC that is for visa exempt countries. you just need to submit passport at nearest vfs

I know its more information, but I have been pushing to increase columns on the sheet to be able to get more comparable information. I believe we should add columns for all the rasums, Nikah only case and dependents as well. I think its hard for any new person to judge there case since the sheet only shows very limited information. If nobody is willing to do the work, I volunteer to do it. ;D ;D
your call, though in my opinion this is going to give people the wrong idea. visa officers make decisions based on a balance of probabilities. you're trying to look for a concrete set of rules that determine how fast a case gets approved, but i'm trying to telling you that there is no concrete set of rules. let's also not forget that the visa officer assigned to a file is another major variable.

to all those still waiting: just keep praying and be patient for a little while longer. do not pay any attention to conjecture and stress yourself out needlessly.

Your right flx, there are lot of variables like VO, presentation of information, circumstances etc that factor in, however, even right now we are maintaining these spreadsheets to give us "some" sort of idea as to how much time cases are being processed in. Adding additional columns will only assist in making the spreadsheet more informative. I think in the long run more information will not necessarily me harmful. :). As again I am willing to assist if other sheet Admins agree. ;D Let me know.
