Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

[Nm.123]

for the past month, my satus from them after repeated escalations are:

Please be informed that initial pre assessment has been completed. Your
application is in Entry Clearance Officer’s queue for further assessment
and checks/enquiries.

Looks like thats a VERY BIG queue

Its more than a Big queue there just being lazy now! They've been saying the same to me, had my case escalated last week and they still aint got back to me

Please consult your btravel agent he will guide you, personally i don't think you will need a tb certificate to travel, just get a polio certificate and you are good to go.

Wife's visa was issued on 06/08/2014; she travelled back to the UK with me on 24/10/2014. So no issues with that at all. As long as you arrive to the UK within 3 months of visa issue date.

TB certificate was not checked by Immigration at the airport; validity of TB certificate is only considered during application stage.

Hope that helps

[ununun]

i applied under cat F, i am also the only shareholder, director, and the only employee of the company.

ask a few more immigration solicters and see what opinion there take.
and show the list of documents which is required in the list there have supplied
its a long list, so i wont repeat here as its all in that financial document on the ukba website.

Hi Abdul

So my situation is like yours, only shareholder, director but there are 2 employees, myself and a secretary who just gets wages.

So i think i shud apply under cat F then right?

Ive got all the list of the documents sorted, just on the Evidence of registration with the Registrar of Companies at Companies House - I am gonna give Company reg certificate, that is enough for this right?

Thanks again
