I do not doubt the recognition of PAK divorce; there are many cases that up hold it in terms of family law and administrative law. It is the circumstances and domiciled / settled status of the respective parties that is important for the purposes of UK immigration law. Every solicitor I have seen h...

Hello There was a recent big case about just this issue. I am sorry but because it was a family law case I cannot find it now. It was about a couple using Pakistan's divorce laws to end the marriage, even though at least one of them lived in the UK permanently. The end result was the Pakistan divor...

Unfortunately our marriage broke down soon after, we both agreed to a divorce and my ex-wife left the UK. We did NOT register our marriage in the UK, so the divorce took place in Pakistan a few months later and a divorce certificate was issued. There are few members on this forum along with myself ...

SAFINA1 I am not sure who advised you but according to my solicitor... The procedure is that you Appeal in UK and at the same time you send the required documents or the evidence they objected on to the ECO at BHC for a REVIEW APPLICATION. Application for review is at ECO's discretion, they don’t...

sam123456 wrote:actually as izzie said they are not sure themselves that is why they are making up the time limit. it suppose to take 3 months.

Yes 3 months including weekends / 60 working days. VAC tell you anything, just want you off their back....they usually take a guess on the amount of backlog they have.

sam123456 wrote:wow i didnt know islamabad's office is open. my wife had to travel all the way to karachi to submit the application. and how come you were told 40 working days everyone else is told 20 days

Usually the documents kept are the ones pertaining to the refusal reasons, for example, if they dont find the marriage subsisting, they might keep the marriage certificate, registration, pictures etc. I was refused for one reason - my divorce but they didnt keep any of those docs.
