Hi,

I would def email them and see if possible to delay, I am sure they will answer quickly, late evening is a good time to try them.

I also wanted to let you know that 3 years ago my closest friend went through a similar experience to your wife, she was in icu for a number of weeks but eventually pulled through and has made a complete recovery, it must be a terrifying time for you, wish you all the best.

Spalens wife!

Hi Arsh,
I think that you may still be allowed to carry on with your application and get your wife's visa added later. We have been granted our visa but have had to remove my stepdaughter from the application as we are waiting to get custody. We have been told that once we have that she will then be granted her visa very quickly as they already have all the information.We are not leaving the UK without her and will wait until hers is granted.They may do the same with yours, although I know the situations are very different.
We are all sending our best wishes for your wife and hope that she will be fine but maybe she would like you to continue with the application rather than withdraw it. After all we all know what a long process this is. I would definately advise you to speak directly to your case officer and they will give you the best advice, some officers have been having problems with their emails lately. I have also heard that they will postpone any further processing for you rather than the application being lost altogether.
Good luck Arsh,
Tracey.

So sorry to heard your dreadful news Best wishes to you and your famillies at this time.

As some have said contact your case officer. We had to get an extention just for paperwork delays and they did that no dramas, so with something like this i'm sure that it wouldn't be any problem at all, all the very best of luck whatever your decision.

thinking of you and your family at this time and sending you lots of good wishes. hope your wife recovers soon.
I work on special care baby unit and have come across this quite alot, all the women we have seen in this condition have pulled through against all odds, like sam says, have faith in the staff looking after your wife and be strong for her and your new babe.

Asking for the applications to be cancelled would *not* be a good idea.

In visa terms (at least looking at the rules), if the spouse remains ill then she most likely does not meet health criteria and the application will be refused. On the other hand, if the spouse recovers (or passes away), then the application may usually proceed. Although if spouse has passed away and was the main applicant, or spouse skills contibuted to points, application could still be refused.

Health criteria must be met by a spouse whether included in the application or not.

The best that can probably be hoped for at this stage is for DIMIA to put the application on hold until the medical situation stabilises either way.

It would be well worth getting some professional advice on the detailed situation.

Sympathies to the original poster.

This situation is completely different.

If you have already been granted your visas then your stepdaughter cannot be added to the application now - you will have to do a separate sponsorship for a Dependent Child visa including a new application fee.

Hi Jeremy,
Yes, you are right regarding my stepdaughters application. I didn't explain it very well. However they have said that it will process very quickly as they have all the information on file and we have spoken a great deal with our case officer.
Doesn't even compare with Arsh's situation though eh?
Best wishes,
Tracey

Arsh,

My sincere sympathy to you and your family. I hope that your wife makes a fulll recovery soon and I glad to hear that your son is OK.

I was not sure from your post how long your wife has been in a coma and what her prognosis is.

I trust that you have read Jeremy's comments (JAJ) as he is most qualified to give you the best advice regarding your situation.

All the best

Really sorry to hear the news about your wife..
I would forget the Oz application at this time and chanel all your energy into giving your wife the full support she needs right now to make a speedy recovery.. as someone else pointed out you can pick up on this at a later date, let the CO sort this side of things for you.
Sincere wishes to you and your family during this stressful time, glad to hear your son is fine ... just hang on in there and be strong for your wife.

I might be the only one....but I think this post is a wind up!? First post?

Please prove me wrong ARSH.

Cheers Sandra
