Moreover can my spouse pay her visa fee in Pakistan by using my debit card of UK bank?
Please advise
Thanks
Online payment only. You can be anywhere in the world as long you as you use a valid card for payment it's fine. I think you can use paypal too.
I paid for my wifes visa fee here in the uk using my card.
Thank you
b41 for the reply,
1. one more thing plz, do you have any idea that can my spouse book an appointment at any visa centre in Pakistan before the submission of on-line application? if not then maximum how long after (after the submission of on-line application) the dates are available at visa centre in Pakistan on average.
2. is the marriage certificate issued from NADRA office (both in Urdu and English language) sufficient along with the original Urdu Nikah naamah? once both have seal and signatures of relevant union council

2. We applied only with the NADRA marriage certificate (both in Urdu and English) along with the original Urdu Nikah naamah, but I was told that a true translation of the Urdu nikaah naamah was a must. If you read the UKVI guideline it states something like any documentation provided in foreign language must be accompanied with a true translation.
May Allah swt make it easy for us all

tallojani you are right as I myself have read this info. but I have heard from some people that NADRA marriage certificate along with original Nikaah naamah was suficient

bro to be honest don't get any advice here with any one.. read the guideline notes of the UKBA Settlement visa and also get some professional advice from any solicitor. don't do cow boy job. it will cost you time and money as well. otherwise do whatever you like

Salaam brother this is ridiculous as I only provided Skype records along with photos holiday and wedding photos , but then again maybe because we have a daughter communication records were overlooked xx

Salam brothers and sisters.
My wife applied for a spouse visa on 15/09/2014 in mirpur
I have only ever received the emails for the appointment conformation. Is this normal and should I chase this by submitting enquiry?

Yes it's asking for your employment details, your sponsors employment details will be submitted in Appendix 2 (paper form).
Relationship to sponsor you put Other relative, because strangely enough there's no option for wife.

To be honest, I found the tracking service to be very unhelpful. You can only track by phone call which costs an arm and a leg at £1.30 a min and by email, where even though they reply very quickly, they don't give you much info at all. You can't even question too much because I don't want my application to be looked at differently because I ask too many questions. That's just my superstition, I don't know if it's true or not.

Thanks you.
Just want to confirm that you receive a processed email right? After this is it the two emails to come hopefully?
Just trying to understand the process?
