actually you are not getting their point, I can explain, if you wanna be a doctor you have to study medicine, stop trying to practice as a doctor with an engineering degree,mangatdhanveer said:Strongly agree with u... We didn't have a big fat wedding as we knew parents can't come... We were planning to have a reception once my husband would get a visa. As u said majority of the fake marriages have parents involved in it... I think people in NDVO work mostly on indian ethics and stuff... That's why they see a file with lors of wedding pictures with relatives and parents.. They r convinced... Sometimes I wonder does providing 5 year old proofs mean nothing in front of just a little situation that parents were not present? Why can't they see old pictures together? Big old emails? Gifts and all... Everyday is getting more and more frustrating...
same way, when the criteria for a spouse visa in India is a big function, with parents, crowd and rituals to be followed in sequence properly, (doesn't matter you see your spouse before marriage or after marriage)
how can you emphasis on love shove or relationship, etc etc....love and marriage has no relation at NDVO, no fancy marriage means you don't qualify, and you become their mercy case, either with or without interview, if you get visa, visa officer is just being generous.
