1. If Marriage is recent, pictures taken before or on that day will be enough, any other evidence such as phone bills after u came back will be good.tbi76 wrote:HI All,
Just wondering few questions regarding my wife visa application from Pakistan.
I am currently in UK on indefinite Leave i went back for a week and and got married (Nikkah/Civil Marriage) on 2nd April and flew back on 3rd April.
I have been reading on the board that you need at least picture taken on two different occasions to submit with visa application, I just have one from the ceremony my question is
1)Pictures from that day enough or do I have to go back any take more pictures with my wife so I can submit with visa application?
2) Second question I currently live i a shared house, do I have to rent a flat now or Can i pay deposit to an rental agency and get a contract for a flat which will be available in 2 months time?
Relies will be much appreciated
Many Thanks

Spending just one day with your spouse after marriage is not the norm amongst Pakistani weddings.
Personally I think the ECO may well refuse you on the grounds that he doesn't believe this a genuine marriage, even though you might have followed the correct procedure. You might have been better off with a fiancée visa rather than a spouse.( meeting and seeing your fiancée is the only essential requirement for this type of visa.).
You could have then carried out the proper wedding in the UK( if you are already not thinking of doing the same when your wife comes here). Thanks BatleyKhan for your response, one more thing when I went last month I had Nikkah it was a big function and wedding is in September. I want to apply visa on the bases of Nikkah as it is legally and religiously marriage in Pakistan and would like my wife to come back with me after formal reception in September. Will it help if I visit her once before applying for visa in June/July?
Good luck to you if you succeed though.
