What travel restrictions?

I think the US citizen needs to go to Pakistan, legally marry her, then file for spousal visa.

There’s your answer. The marriage is not legal because he was in MA and proxy marriages are not recognized there. Had he been in a country that does recognize proxy marriages, it would have been possible.

I have no idea what that means.

Can’t marry the same person twice in Pakistan until they divorce, she remarries, consummates, then divorces again.

Posting for a friend or yourself? Your post history shows you were denied a K-1 due to “being ineligible for this visa category” (too married?)

Know how bad this mess is?  

 

The perfect legal solution

 

1.  Send 3 divorce texts.  Register that divorce in Pakistan.

2.  Girl marries someone else for short time, consummates that marriage

3.  Husband divorces girl.  Resets her to “free to marry” under local law.  She can’t divorce him either LOL.  She might be stuck at that point?  

4.  “Proxy husband” remarries her in person

5.  “Proxy” files petition, which requires both his previous divorce from her and new husband’s divorce from her plus his new marriage certificate

 

At that point, it is a “normal” case.

 

A greencard holder who told his “wife” he can’t travel to marry her but could travel to consummate the marriage is a dirtbag to begin with because he lied to her.  He’d be getting EXACTLY what he earned.

 

I’m out of this one.  I get in trouble editorializing about laws / beliefs / practice in that region.
