Hi All,
I have tried searching the forum but couldn't find any particular information regarding this scenario: I am InshAllah going to marry a girl who resides in Lahore, Pakistan by the end of March 2012. Since we have three months in between, I am considering doing Nikaah over the phone to at least get the marriage registered and gather all the necessary documents. I am hoping this way when I get the Rukshati/Valima done in March, I can come back to Canada and apply right away as opposed to waiting another month/month and a half to get the paper work prepared.
Let me know what you guys think about this approach. I do realize Nikaah over the phone is discouraged but that is also based on the fact if you apply for sponsorship right after without any particular proof of the Rukshati/Valima (couple being together physically).
Much appreciated.
