Hi Zully
i am the applicant from Pk, i am just waiting for the deadline given to ECM, lets say if its for august i'll get my husband to get in touch with his local MP in July. also four of my company's executives are MP's in PK so i might jus get their help too as recently a case on appeal was expedited on their request in canada embassy.

as for the appeal process this is how it is;

1. ones your appeal is recieved by AIT in Leicester, its processed and payement is cleared can take 4 or more wks for this to happen.

2.Then the appeal is sent back to the original post i.e where the decision was made in my case its ISlamabad. the visa app decision was made by a ECO but the appeal review is done by the Entry Clearence MANAGER at the same post. its like the Prinicipal going over a paper that a teacher originally marked to see if it was done properly. usually ECMs get 19 wks to review the case.

3. if the decision is overturned the ECM notifys AIt and writes to cioncerned parties i,e applicant and representative. if its upheld ECM only writes to AIt. a court date is given to the applicant if AIT hasnt heard from the ECM by the review deadline or the decision has been upheld.

4. the court date is usually after 3 months of the review deadline.

this is how i understand the process.
BHC doesnt take Pakistani degrees to fill in English test requirement. I did check with gerrys before I applied.

It was on the UKBA website that the Nikkah Nama has to be attested by a Union council before you submit your visa.

Seeing as the visa has already been submitted there is nothing you can do now apart from pray for the best that the visa is granted due to a mistake which can not be rectified now.

Do what he said, get it registered anyways, if they do more checks and you are on the database thrn insha'allah that will be sufficient enough for the ECO to prove that it has been registered.

Worth a try.

The registration is important... if its not on paper they can reject the visa.... hopefully all will be well but you never know, I would suggest get it registered now as you may need it later if they do refuse....anything can happen theses eco make their own mind up.

Shoaib it is very important to have you nikah nama registered because if it is not done then there is nothing to say you are officially married as registering the nikah nama is registering you marriage in any specific country and ukba will look for confirmation for registered marriage to overcome sham marriage. the main purpose of the marriage registeration is the marriage is recognised in the court of law/ and in accordance with islam if u dont register it you will have a prob,

if you dont theres no proof u actually got married because the nikah nama is not a recognised document by ukba if it is not registered according to the country marriage registration laws meaning pakistani marriage laws.

I think the Imam usually gives a copy of the Nikahnama to both sides, bride and groom. The Imam might even keep a copy for his own records. It is worth asking whoever conducted the ceremony, as it is necessary that the marriage is properly registered.

Tenancy Agreement

Post by waqasshah » Tue May 15, 2012 3:52 pm

Dear All,

I need your assistance regarding tenancy agreement. I am going to apply for my wife Spouse visa next month. I know spouse visa will take up to approximately 3 months.

Currently I am living with my friends and I know it will be expensive for me to get a flat before my wife came here. Can you please suggest something how to manage the accomodation stuff?

you have a number of options:

* obtain a letter from your friend and landlord stating you wife can live with you and then get the accomodation inspection.

* obtain a tenancy agreement in your name and authorisation from the landlord allowing your wife to stay there.
