I thought this forum was for asking questions and giving appropriate answers, So I far I have recieved 0 concrete answers, mostly cheeky comments?.
This is a very serious issue for me and I have come here with hopes of gaining knowledge so I can present a strong case and hopefully see my wife real soon. Moderators, whats going on?

Hope this answers your query.

It looks as though you will have to perform nikkah again before your marriage and use that date and marriage certificate as your official date of marriage

[sushdmehta]

[sushdmehta]

Rukhsati / party / celebration is irrelevant, IMHO, as it merely denotes one event (of the many) during a "marriage process" - and in this case it is happening more than a year after the marriage (which is not recognized in UK). But this doesn't mean (under Pakistani law) that you were not married before the date of rukhsati or , under UK law, as "date of marriage" or evidence that adds weight to the legality of the marriage.


Had the two of you met before the telephone / skype marriage?
Name the countries where the two of you were physically present at the time of this skype / phone marriage. Mention specifically who (husband, wife, sponsor) was where (country).

Hello,

Thanks for responding.

I understand, this makes sense, however, as they ask for pictures of the ceremony, videos etc. I would have assumed this would add weight to my application.

Rather than being noted as a telephone/skype marriage, this is a proxy marriage which I think is different to a telephone marriage and has different laws regarding.

Yes we had met and we have proof (pictures, visa stamp on passport) we have also been in contact prior to this and have proof (phone bill, emails etc.)

The problem is, I have stated already, we cannot withdraw the Nikah from the NADRA system or Union council, it is already registered and I had it attested from the ministry of foreign affairs before I submitted it.

I am wondering that if my case is refused on the ground of a proxy nikah, then there is no way out because there is no way we can perform the nikah again.

Regards

You haven't answered sushdmehta's questions. Did you meet before the proxy marriage? If not, this internal guidance for use by UKBA entry clearance staff applies:
One of the Immigration Rules' requirements which is particularly relevant in the case of an applicant who has undergone a proxy marriage is the requirement that the parties have met.

[Bangbang]

Harv, Thanks for the positive reply.

I have a clearer understanding and yes I am telling the truth, I have stamps from the foreign ministry on the nikah nama and on the letter from the union council.

The ceremony/pictures from the ceremony should add to my proof if (hopefully not) I have to be infront of the judge.

Casa, thanks for responding.

I did answer this question, the answer was YES we have met and we provided pictures of the meeting and showed the stamp on my passport as proof.

Regards

Hey

Sorry I posted that a long time ago.

It was a proxy marriage, but as there was a ceremony I was present via skype.

So we did not exchange vows over the telephone but we had a proxy step in for me (an elder of the family).

Thanks

Regards

Hello all,

I have noticed a trend.

Those spouses who get the visa usually get it within 4-6 weeks of applying.

Those who are refused get the refusal after 4-5 months.

Is this the trend that everybody is noticing?

Is it worth saying that if your application has been pending for more than 3 months than its most likely to be a refusal?

Regards.
