Fly to cali? :wacko: who was talking about that?

I don't get where people get such strange ideas. Lots of couples in Pakistan are marrying their first cousins. Did they REALLY never meet their bride or groom in person before marriage? Do these pe

Inshallah You will be okay.. Just Include as much evidence as you can to prove that it is not permitted in our religion and culture to see each other before marriage. Get an official letter from a religious leader explaining why you can not meet. (it is forbidden in Islam, but you have to show them that.) It may b tough, but dont give up. dont let anyone discourage you. you have to fight ur case.

You have no idea what you're talking about, listen to the grownups on this thread and go away with your flawed advice.

The requirement that the petitioner and the beneficiary have met in person within the two years immediately preceding the filing of the K nonimmigrant visa petition may be waived (8 CFR Sec. 214.2(k)(2))

(1) .......

(2) that compliance would violate strict and long-established customs of the beneficiary's foreign culture or social practice, as where marriages are traditionally arranged by the parents of the contracting parties and the bride and groom are prohibited from meeting subsequent to the arrangement and prior to the wedding day. 8 CFR Sec. 214.2(k)(2).

In this thread, I and others have explained several times why this does not apply to this couple. It extremely rarely applies to ANY couple.

The context of the article you linked to not only has nothing to do with the discussion. Nobody is claiming they couldn't meet because the USC couldn't get a visa to visit Pakistan. They didn't meet because neither the USC or the Pakistani made any effort whatsoever to do so, in Pakistan or elsewhere.

Trust me we do I am from here, have you read our news recently and all the problems we are having with border control.. Getting out is harder then getting in. We need to adopt Americas approach.

But my suggestion was meant as they could meet here, we are multicultural and they might both find it easier.. But again they do need to know each others culture.

UK actually has the reputation of being the hardest country to get a Schengen visa from. I wouldn't know myself but that's what I heard abroad repeatedly.

I can understand that, they have never issued even one.

I knew I would be under attack! lol

people just fail to read the discussion before passing a judgement.

I didnt tell them they WILL NOT get visa to pakistan! Follow the procedure and you probably will. Follow the US procedure and you will get US visa too!
