Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[rashadjee]

Hi guys !

I am little concerned and worrying as at the time of my online visa application I provided my wife's email address wrong (who's my sponsor) by mistake, now my question is
1) if my visa application are being processed will they email my wife (who's my sponsor) or me to my email address and
2) if the ukvi or bhc ever wanted any additional information or documents will they contact my wife email address (who's my sponsor) or me the applicant

Kind answer is much appreciated

...ok! They will use the email address that is on the application form which you filled in online. They surely ask you twice to verify your email address.. Hope this helps.

Ive noticed we did our applications more or less the same time [/quote]
Yes bro I submitted in Lahore please do dua for me I so worried and confused[/quote]

MAy Allah grant you and your spouse success. I got a email today from UKVI saying a decision was made on the 10th of December but yet they have not contacted my wife. Im a bit annoyed because we paid for the Premium lounge at Mirpur, so would have expected them to text her to keep her updated, but it was only when I emailed UKVI that they told me it was decided on 10th December. What avenues can I take, because I am worried that they may not contact her for her passport collection and it could expire?

That's normal. You will get an official email only when Gerry's have processed the application, and they will text for collection. The premium lounge is a useless service, nobody should use it. However, there is some sort of priority service now that costs around £360.

W/salam I think you will be okay, I'm sure if they ring your employer they will advise that you have left that employment. They will be able to check with HMRC to see your tax contributions and figure out that you've go a higher paying job I think.

Let them know immediately!

Hi Guys,

So I am literally towards the end, waiting so eagerly and stressed as you can imagine. Sent home office an email for a status update and they replied;

" application is still under process. 12 weeks not yet passed - Sheffield

I'm assuming the 21'st marks the end date for the waiting period which is next Monday but worried due to Christ mas coming the response is going to be delayed Do they

Online: 22/09/2015
Biometrics: 29/09/2015 Lahore
Received at Sheffield: 01/10/2015
Status update 17/10/2015: " application is still under process. 12 weeks not yet passed

Anyone know how long it could possibly take now?

Thank you
