Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan

[rani111]

my husbands case was almost imossible at the outset but we made it in short time. he spent a lot of money on excellent lawyer in pakistan. i do think it helps to do this. iv heard of so many refusals where people not willing to spend money on good legal help then refused on some technicality. he was not rich but it was worth it in end. i am sure without this lawyer advising and checking everything our case would be refused

salaams

im new to this and would really appreciate some help

my wife's visa has been refused twice and i have appealed twice, i have been waiting for the tribunal to get back to me however instead of that i have received a third refusal

the confusion is that this refusal is identical to the second refusal except for the date, i contacted the tribunals service and they said that i should get a letter from them for an oral hearing and not a refusal from uk border agency (islamabad)...any help will be much appreciated

jazakallah

Sorry, I’ll try to give u as much detail as I can Inshallah, basically my wife submitted her initial paperwork for the visa in Nov 2009 in Lahore, this was refused in Feb 2010 as the ECO did not believe we had a genuine, subsisting relationship, he was not satisfied that I could support my wife financially and that the savings I had in my account would not be available to her.

I disagreed with his points so appealed (sent appeal to the Tribunals Service) and provided further evidence. The Tribunals Service then sent me a withdrawal notice stating that the ECO had withdrawn his original decision and that my wife should take her passport to the office she had initially applied to.

My wife was then given another refusal stating that the company I worked for did not exist and that the savings I had in my account would not be available to my wife. Obviously I disagreed so appealed again and was told by the Tribunals Service that they had given the Embassy until 28 Feb 2011 to respond to them.

I had been waiting for the Tribunals service to get back to me but instead my wife got a third refusal letter in the post which is identical to the second refusal. I contacted the Tribunals service and they said that I should get a letter from them for an oral hearing and not another refusal. They suggested calling the Embassy in Pakistan as it’s probably a mistake. I have been trying on 0092512012000 but have had no luck.

The Tribunals Service are saying that I will be sent a date for an oral hearing and all I can do it wait.

Sorry for the essay

Jazakallah for any help

Hi congratulation for receiving the call letter. Can I ask you where did you send your notice of appeal was it Abu Dhabi or Croydon? Thank you and good luck hope you get Visa in one more week's time.

[unique012]

Salaam everyone,

I just want to ask a quick question about the stamping of the visa, I know that they stamp the visa probly a week before u get it so that means ur visa has started from the day they stamped ur passport. However, can they also stamp it and when you collect the passport, your visa starts after 2 weeks for example you got ur passport back on the 15th of feb and ur visa starts on the 28th of feb.

Is this possible? Has anyone else had this done? Please reply.

You are all in my duas, Thank you

Just read MojoJojo's post earlier about needing a Nadra nikah nama.

Can someone confirm that applicants have to have a nadra registered certiifcate as proof of marriage?

Haven't heard of a nadra nikah nama before. My wife has an urdu nikah nama with an english translation that's been attested.

I thought this was enough?

This is what Pakistan law states

5. Registration of marriage.
(1) Every marriage solemnized under Muslim Law shall be registered in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.

(2) For the purpose of registration of marriage under this Ordinance, the Union Council shall grant licenses to one or more persons, to be called Nikah Registrars, but in no case shall more than on Nikah Registrar be licensed for any one Ward.

(3) Every marriage not solemnized by the Nikah Registrar shall, for the purpose of registration under this Ordinance be reported to him by the person who has solemnized such marriage.

(4). Whoever contravenes the provisions of such-section (3) shall be punishable with simple imprisonment for a term which may extent to three months, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both.

(5). The form of nikahnama, the registers to be maintained by Nikah Registrars, the records to be preserved by Union Councils, the manner in which marriage shall be registered and copies of nikhanama shall be supplied to parties, and the fees to be charged thereof, shall be such as may be prescribed.

(6) Any person may, on payment of the prescribed fee, if any, inspect at the office of the Union Council the record preserved under sub-section (5), or obtain a copy of any entry therein.

I do not know why people say they have to provide a NADRA registered marriage. The one registered at the local union council ( along with an english translated version) is all you need for your application

Dear All,

I wanted if somebody could share their experience of appeal case at Abu Dhabi Embassy. I have seen that people who submitted their applications at Croydon got the response very quickly. My documents were received by them on 24/01/2011 and I have received nothing. Although when I inquired about my case through an email on 15/02/2011 they replied to my email saying that they have received my notice of appeal and they will process the appeal case now and I have to see if they review their decision or it goes to the court.

Your experience in the similar situation would help to understand their time lines. Thank you!

On what grounds you were refused.

Shahzad

Just few points but all bullshit the main point was my wife bank statement coz i never submitted wife bank statement with application
coz that time she didn't hve saving in her a/c so i submitted my bank statement which was fair enough as my solicitor said.
but they not satisfied with my bank statement that time but finally they are Majboor to review the case
and then granted me Visa coz my case was genuine n very strong.

Hi Ali I applied for Tier 1 dependent Visa.

[batleykhan]

Please note that I am flying out on PIA flight from Manchester to Islamabad on 12th March and will be returning to Manchster on 2nd April.

I am going out to distribute the £123000 that I collected for the Pakistan flood victims ( some of which came from donations from members of this forum).

I intend to distribute the money in Punjab and Sindh after distributing over 50 lakh in Khyber area on my last visit in September.

Please make duas for me to suceed.Its a very difficult task as we intend to personally visit,assess the needs of individals and then give them the money in their own hand. that way we know teh money reaches those who desperately need it instaed of it going into the pockets of corrupt officials.

Obviusly during this period I will not be able to anwser your posts, so you have to bear with me till my return. I intend ti visit Fedexs office in Islamabad to lodge my nieces application and at the same time make inquiries about the procedure regarding the english test.

Thanks to all those who have donated in the past and recently. May Allah reward you and help you suceed with your applications.
