My husband has applied for a spouse visa. I wanted to ask from which date should you count from as to how long it has been?

So which one from the following?

The date that the online application was done.

The date that the biometrics and documents submitted.

Or when the documents were received at Islamabad.

Our online form was submitted on the 13th of November

Biometrics and documents submitted at Lahore on the 28th of November

Documents received at Islamabad on the 1st of December

Hope someone can clear this for me :)
Thanks
I started counting from the date of biometrics and documents submission

Thanks Ket1 :)

My wife went to collect the documents and unfortunately the visa has been refused.A bit disappointed at the moment.But"what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" WIll post the reasons later on after seeing the refusal letter in detail. @alil2014 and MOA7 and fawad iftikhar i am sure that your visas been granted.In my opinion the first e mail gives you the reference number for the visa and the second one with GWF number shows that the application has been processed.After all there might be some reality in the two email theory(could be wrong).I got only one e mail with GWF number that the visa has been processed..Any way guys stay blessed and good luck for your applications.
