Hi guys, I'm from Pakistan, I have a question, me and my Wife went to University together for four years and then I went to US and got green card, just after a month I came back to marry her so that I could apply for her and get he immigration process going, so we had our "Nikkah" and have been together for a long time but never had the official "Rukhsati", so I'm having doubts that what would happen when during interview my Wife tells that we had the Nikkah but had the Rukhsati later, I mean we will have the Rukhsati and everything before we ever get the interview call, means we will consumate our Marriage before the interview process, so would this create any trouble since we didn't have Rukhsati before filing the petition or would this be alright if we tell them the truth.

It has been 5 to 6 years since we have been in a relationship but only 6 months since our Nikkah and have plans to do Rukhsati as soon as poosible maybe by the end of the year or the beginnig of the 2017. Her visa category is F2A. I would appreciate your feedbacks, experiences and everything that you can tell, thank you so much :)

This shouldn't be a problem. Make sure that your wife carries a lot of evidence with her in form of photos (the more the better), pictures while talking on Skype, phone history, emails, letters ever written to each other, wedding pics (NOT the edited ones) - if you've sufficient evidence to prove that your relationship is legit, there shouldn't be any problem. Also, answer what they ask ONLY. All the best

Just as an FYI, the 221G form in ISB actually does have a checkbox for not performing the Ruksati

I would guess it would not be a problem for the OP, but there is a small chance it could be

What is 221G, and when do you fill that form?

Hi. Didn't know about that. Would that still be a problem if they perform rukhsati before the interview? (OP mentioned that they'll perform rukhsati before the interview)

form given if the visa is refused (temporarily or not, this form is used to put people into AP, although sometimes people get AP without it)

the embassy would issue the form, it is nothing you need to do or would want to get

no that should be ok, and i do believe it is unlikely to be an issue, but if it were not performed before the interview it could be an issue
