love marriage

[shalinip 0]

I am new to this site and find it very helpful. I am preparing for the interview as my case is at NVC. Anyway, I have a doubt over my marriage ceremony.

Actually my wife from US and I married in India despite my family consent. My parent were very hostile to this idea of getting American DIL. They tried all their best to stop this marriage though.

Because of this fact we were compelled to marry without consent and even keeping other closed family friends at dark about our date and place of marriage.

Now can this cause a case lac of document for interview. They are not even ready to meet my spouse.

can it be a deadly issue ??

If family not in attendance someone may ask for explanation.

Uscis rfe'd us.....wanted , among other things, pictures of wedding and family in attendance or explanation of their absence.

I would not worry about that though. Unless there is some law in your country that would require parental consent.

If your question is more country specific then perhaps you would get answer from regional forums.

Lack of parental consent itself may not be an issue, if you can prove that yours is a genuine marriage not entered into for immigration purposes. Does your case have the following classic red flags?

1) Big age difference between you and your spouse, usually the woman being older

2) Both of you are from vastly different educational, cultural and religious backgrounds

3) Previous marriages,with children

4) Marrying upon first visit to India and not having met often after that

5) Lack of proof of ongoing relationship

If your answer is no and if your relationship is within acceptable Indian social and cultural norms, you should be okay. If asked, just explain.

Thank you very much for your clarification. I take it as per your advise that I will state honestly before the CO without bothering too much.

Thank you very much for your kind reply

Do you have any of the red flags listed above? As for AP, what worries you about that?

Not really. Just that no one attended the ceremony. It was just an official affair.

Are you the OP's spouse? If you do not have any of the red flags, nothing much to worry about. Just try getting pictures taken of the two of you together and with friends, if possible, and you should be good to go.

You can always explain the lack of parental consent. I do not see too much of a risk here, though other members may see it differently.
