  A non face to face marriage is only valid for immigration purposes after it has been consummated.   

 

Just to expand on the above answer, "consummated" for immigration purposes means spending a night together, what you actually do during that time is your own business.

Just to be clear, consummation for immigration is to have met in person after marriage. No proof of sexy times required.

Pakistan is not part of the travel ban put into place by Trump.

I think it would be wise to find out more about his status in the US before looking to join him here in the US.  His statement about fearing to travel to Pak sounds a little strange to me.

I've got a marriage proposal for me where the guy is working in US as doctor. He is currently training for specialization. Due to current uncertainty he can't come back to Pakistan as there have been cases where people were not let to board flights. He does not want to risk his training.

Basically due to ban by Trump administration on certain countries, there have been cases where some doctors were not let board flights for no apparent reasons. And now they can't go to US. He is afraid as this might occur to him if he comes to Pakistan. This would jeopardize his career.

Ban does not apply to Pakistan nationals; not aware of doctors facing any out-of-the-routine scrutiny, and I follow news from the sub-continent.

Thing is he can't come back. Some of doctors from Pakistan were not let to board after coming home. And that was for no reason. He is afraid he might be dealt same way.

If he's a US citizen there is no reason for him to be denied entry into the USA. And I can find no reports anywhere that USCs were banned, even if they are originally from another country. And Pakistan doesn't even fall into the list of banned countries.

 

It sounds like he is making excuses to not see you. Red flag! Ever seen the TV show Catfish?

There is no type of family based visa that will allow you to come to the US without meeting face to face at least once. And if you’re from a high fraud country, which I think Pakistan is not sure about that though bu5 I believe it is, once isn’t enough. Find a way to get to him, or meet at a different country.

Definitely suspicious, wonder what is going on

This sounds like "I've got a wife (and probably kid(s)), so sorry, nothing is going to happen."  Even if he is not attached, this is just complete BS, sorry. He's hiding something.

Good day everyone,

 

I've got a marriage proposal for me where the guy is working in US as doctor. He is currently training for specialization. Due to current uncertainty he can't come back to Pakistan as there have been cases where people were not let to board flights. He does not want to risk his training.

 

I was wondering is it still possible to get Visa based on Nikkah on Skype. Or its a long shot.

 

Thanks.

OP to answer your question ... no its not possible to get a visa like that

 

you might want to ask him in detail what his status is in USA

 

given the information you provided, it might be possible (unlikely though) that he is on OPT visa and he is scared to leave the country

Are you saying you have not met in person?

You have to meet to apply for any visa

 

He must be permanent residence (if married to you) or citizen

I've confirmed he only has a permit to work. Is it possible that we have our nikkah on Skype and I go meet him. Have proof of meeting in person. And then apply for Visa.

 

Or we have our nikkah. And I apply for visit Visa that I'm going to meet my husband. Spend time there. Come back and then apply for spouse visa.

 

Thanks.
