Salaam all :D Firstly I would like to THANK ALMIGHTY ALLAH for granting my wife her VISA. :D The appeal got withdrawn before the oral hearing. The process took a total of around 6 months, from when we handed application in first time to getting refused and then putting an appeal through to receivin...

Correct, I wasn't referring to dual nationals, by definition a dual national will hold both British and Pakistani nationalities. (I did state that if neither have Pakistani nationality also!)

You need to include two sets of paperwork and supporting documentation with the application. In other words take two sets of photocopies, keep one set of copies for yourself and hand in the originals along with one set of photocopies. Only student visa applicants are requested to provide originals p...

N.B. If you and you're first wife are both British nationals (i.e. neither of you are Pakistani nationals nor ordinarily resident in Pakistan) then the overseas divorce will not be recognised n the U.K.

The link is on the post by womanhandy on page 1 of this thread. Did your wife enter the UK as your spouse? And has also been quoted from in the first post on the same page.

From the UKBA website it seems clear that as long as one OR the other party is domiciled in or normally resident in Pakistan a full divorce with proceedings under the MFLO as stated above is acceptable in the UK. I guess this means the spouse must not yet have entered the UK? Also the proceedings mu...

The UKBA does not contact every sponsor's employers but it provides a very good indication of when a decision will be made as the decision is normally made on the same day that the employer confirms details. That is not entirely true!!! Because the decision is not solely made based on employee stat...

I decided to email gerry's to see what happened to the application. This is the reply i got from them. ''Once an application is processed in UK it does not come directly to Gerry’s instead it would land in British High Commission Islamabad for necessary formalities. We at Gerry’s have no contro...

Also, I think sometime back I heard that you have to inform the UKBA if you go from England to Pakistan with intention to marry, this is so they know that it is not a forced marriage. If you mentioned you went to Pakistan to get married, and had not met your partner before (like at a family visit) ...

Provided both bedrooms are adequate sizes a two bedroom house can accomodate two couples.

They won't email you unsolicited. The email column is where people have received an email in reply to an enquiry email asking on the status of the application and they have been informed that the application has been processed. You won't get much info by emailing the VAC. It's better to email the UK...

yasmin786 I'm very sorry to hear about your refusal, make sure your appeal paperwork is watertight and insha'Allah it will be overturned without a hearing.

The English translation must include the translator's contact details. You must include the original documents and a photocopy of each document. You will also need to provide a translation of any supporting documents which are not in English, or your application may be refused. Each translated docum...
