Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan

[fz158]

sure Shadow bro,

call letter was received 16 June 2011 and my wife submitted her passport at Gerrys Lahore on 24 June 2011.

Thanks
Zaki

[Shadow86]

Thanks Zaki added the info to SS.

Sammad, try and ask her calmly if there is anything that is bothering her. I take it she was all lovey dovey before coming over - considering how excited you were to have her come over.

Not sure if anybody would be able to help you out in this matter here as the matter is mostly concerning behavioural issues. It can get messy. I'd suggest seeing a professional about it. Whilst I am not a professional, I am known by friends as a good listener (or in this case, reader) and adviser on many topics. I can go on and on but feel that this topic is one to be discussed privately where off-topic/on-topic has no relevance.

At the end of the day every man/woman has their own way of dealing with problems. Some are so hot headed and some are peaceful and deal with it as appropriately as possible.

A step back and watching the whole story play before you and reacting in your own time, CALMLY, does a lot of wonders.

@shadow

Abudhabi Visa Section works sunday to thursday as in UAE the off-day of the week is Friday instead of Sunday. Since UKBA works 5 days a week so they take Saturday off too.

@sammad

Since you are sharing, one of my closest friend went through the same sitaution. it happens, there isnt anything new about it. all the people asking u to give her some time r giving u a good piece of advice.
decide to give her 3 months 6 months a year whatever u r easy with and after that period decide whatever u wanna do.
in my friends case, he divorced. but both of them r happy now.

I want to send my wife back and give her a divorce Pakistan, since I want to marry another woman in Pakistan. My current wife is just unhappy/sickly etc we just don't get along. However when she found out I want a divorce she say's she will not leave and wants to stay in the country. Seems like she was only after the visa.

This post made my jaw drop open, didn't see this coming .

Not sure about what u mean with sickly.

Whilst I can see where Batley is coming from, if I can share a true story about my mum's friend's son. He is an amazing down to earth cool guy who would never do anybody wrong. He got married to a girl in Pak and she came over and stayed for some time - not sure if it was for over 2 years but after they both got a child, one night she took the baby boy and left the house. She had the audacity to put the blame on her in laws and husband for torturing her bla bla bla all bad things she said. Couple of years later she lets the kid come over to his dad's house to stay for a couple of days. Kid is about 4 years old right now. Whilst I cannot understand why she is doing this and what's going on in her head but it is true that some people get married to a British Citizen just for the visa.
Yes the "Love" is there before the person from Pak comes over but afterwards it's like as if he/she is using the British Citizen and then wham they come up with some crazy stuff.

For the curious ones, the guy who was wronged got married to someone from within family abroad now and he is happy alhamdulillah with his new partner.

So I guess it just goes to show that one must be EXTREMELY careful when marrying someone from abroad who is outside of family completely. Distant or close family (i.e. cousins) are least likely to do any wrong but hey its a dodgy world out there so you never know.

Sorry to hear about your situation Sammad. Hope it's just a misunderstanding and that all gets well. Divorce just doesn't exist in my dictionary but for those who need it, like Batley said, it should be a last resort as there are better methods to resolve issues - inshallah.

July is nearby so lets see if FaithHill and okara can get some news (okara, you awaiting for result in July, right? don't have ur details on the spreadsheet)

SAERAJ or Shadow86 brothers,

guys my wifes status changed today to "Your visa has been forwarded to the emabassy for processing on 26/04/2011"?


Does this defintely mean its going to be stamped any time soon and they will call her? Any rough time frame would be greatly appreciated if u have any info on what this exactly means.

By the way thanks for your help guys

Just saw ur message now Zaki, so that is great news, wait 26 as in today!!! u serious???? on a weekend!!!????? AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyways back to business, well it means that inshallah they will process ur wife's visa soon.

@ Sammad pls relax and calm down. Discuss your problem with some professional counseller,ppl above are right. As there are few things that your mentioning here, need to be discussed in some privacy. Please think it over n over again. Best of luck!

[agraceofman]

Help needed from the people who has experience of their own or the friends,

I applied for settlement visa as my wife has ILR.
Application Rejected: June 2010
Appeal Won:2nd Feb 2011
Call Letter Recieved: 14 Jun 2011 (after 19 weeks)
Resubmitted docs: 15 Jun 2011 @ gerrys ISL

I need to ask abt the application status:

1. your visa application has been dispatched to OC (15th June 11)
2. your visa application has been forwarded to the embassy for processing (19th June 11)

someone on the same blog told that normally it takes 14 days to change the status to "2" that is forwarded to embassy.

is it normal?
or is it because i did wait so long for call letter and now they are "compensating" me and processing the visa quickly?

Please share your experience

i have submit my passort on same date and status is also same so let me know when you got your pass port back and i will post hope you will get it soon and will good news

why not? he can go any where he wants to go.
the only thing UKBA would check after 27 months (when he ll apply for ILR) is that you both are together.

best of luck

Hi Sammad........so sorry to hear of your sitou.........but having read ur latest post I have to say the following:

Your last line of:

'I just don't want her to talk to me unless I talk to her, I just want her to obey me and not question and annoy me'

Seems you are quite dominant, yes it is a wife's duty to obey her husband, but dont forget the husbands duty too, a husband also has a duty to care & protect his wife...........and why can she not question u? As long as the questions are legit then why not???

And I don't agree with you calling your dad 'dumb' especially on a forum full of strangers - parents only want the best for their children....something all of us will find out one day when we have our own Inshallah

No offence intended.............May Allah help u solve ur problems ameen

[batleykhan]

I think there is a guilty conscious somewhere in that anger.Remember anger is the cause of all problems

[UKVA4]

Assalam o Alikum. Does any valuable member of this forum know that when does UKBA website "guide to processing times" section gets updated? Loads of prayers requested. Regards

I think it's about every 3 months that they update it...

I am a frequent browser of this thread as I am waiting for my fiancee to get his visa from Pakistan.

I just wanted to say a massive thankyou to saeraj for posting the number of the abu dhabi office. My fiance and I have been waiting seven weeks for the call letter with no luck. I rang Abu Dhabi this morning and spoke to a very helpful lady. Two minutes later the Call Letter was sat in my email inbox.

So hopefully we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel (although ramadan being in August is going to make wedding planning difficult!).

Anyway many thanks for all the useful information and advice I have found on here.
