Indian Embassy Visa Questions?

Question

So I talked to my friend today, and this is what he claims, although I dont believe it. He is US Citizen, like myself, went to india and got married about 5 years ago. Post September 11th, so rules should been same as today (present)

The girl is from Amritsaar, they got engaged and marriage within 2 weeks time. They went to the US Embassy in new delhi, took all the pictures as proof, and applied for her visa to come to USA. He said he got the interview that day only, and within one week, she had got the visa

I asked him why she took 5 months to come, is because she was finishing her school. I asked him to double check if this is correct, but he said by filling in india, then you go directly to the source meaning if I file in usa for K1 or K3 visa, then it goes to some office in USA for processing which takes time, then goes to India for the next step

Has anyone else got married in india, and then filled for there wife / husband to come to USA and got the visa rather quickly?

Answer 1

What ever your friend told you is correct & this I have been telling you. In this case he took marriage photographs to show his marital status, but now US embassy also seeks the marriage registration certificate. My own daughter has gone to Australia 10months back with her husband on the basis of her being married to him & placed on the record of the Australian Embassy the certificate of marriage I got then from the marriage officer under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. You are just getting unnecessarily nervous for no reasons. Once you marry this girl here in India according to Hindu Form of marriage & get this marriage registered with the Marriage registrar under section 8 of the Hindu Marriage Act,1955 or marry her before the Marriage officer under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 just place that marriage certificate along with her immigration petition & K-3 visa application & she will get K-3 visa immediately without much delay.

Answer 2

impossible.
