It is the physical aspect that has to be out of the UK I.e. being in Pakistan and attending appointment.
You can fill all aspect of the online application from anywhere.

Oh right so it can be done anywhere online and bio metrics in pakistan im hoping to get it done in pakistan but unsure if there are any places which would help us do this in pakistan someone suggest they cant help at the gerrrys office or something but i have no idea

Best advice i can give you is hire a solicitor , i am also applying for my wife and they made sure i had all the right paper work and worked out my salary and savings to support my wife here . They will help you every step of the way and make a folder for ur wife that she just needs to take to gerrys in pakistan and give scans and biometric.

Thank you i may have to do you have any idea what a solicitor would normally charge for all this i know you might not have exact but a rough idea may help me alot

You don't need to hire a solicitor as he will take money from you but you have to collect all related documents urself. When you will complete your application then you will get documents checklist. Follow check list and book your wife biometric appointment and upload documents yourself rather give Rs 10000 to UK visa Centre for uploading. Keep in mind you should meet income requirements of £18600 excluding any children.
You should also note total fee around £3400 including IHS charges. If you would hire a solicitor then he would charge you around £1500 for no reason.

Thank you I understand the check list and financial documents etc im just confused about the bill whats app proof and other stuff thats not necessary but people say you should send would this also be uploaded with all the other documents when i fill in the application online

Scanned over

No physical hard copy document is required. Everything is scanned and uploaded on the system.

I might be bit late for you ..you can choose where biometrics can be done from mirpur..logore..karachi..Islamabad. when you ste about to submit your application they will ask you to choose a centre Nd you will be given appointment for that centre which ever is closest to your spouse

[Doongle]

Thank you yes we will be doing mirpur im just unsure about the documents to bring them over because my marriage certificate her tests etc will be in pakistan does she submit these at the appointment or is this done with the application online

Do you earn at least a gross of £1,550/month and income not below this at any point in the last 6months that you want to use the wage slip and bank statements?

[Doongle]

Hi thank you for replying yes my income does not fall below that it is never below 1580 a month

its the expenses i was paid i just wasnt sure if i should get this cleared up by the employer as they werent paid work days just a couple of hours for two days to get to know the environment and staff and the money was paid into my bank account Separately to my wages although it does say expenses on the bank statement

You can upload everyday till you either submit it via VFS or yourself. It's WIP.

FYI, it's not an on demand service. You get a reply when someone sees it or knows the answer!
