Re: Need Visa Advice for Fiance (wife)
It's arrange marriage - so I haven't met/saw her before. I will be
meeting her for the first time in Oct.
So from all i am reading, it looks like only legal way is to get
married and then apply for spousal visa. Which kinda sucks because i
will not be able to do that until Oct and it will delay everything.
Also, Saeed, i will like to hear your experience in Islamabad, as we
will be applying the same way.
Thanks again!!.
