Can't say. Will it get more scrutiny if few in-person visits? Yes. Will it get approved? Don't know. Is it worth the trade-off for you to apply early given the covid and cultural/religious issues? Only you can answer that.
There's too much other context that matters to say. You may want to spend some time checking forums/threads here for your country, culture, and situation. That said, I'd avoid assuming that it's perfectly simple - every file is different, and the things that are different from one file to the next are not always clear or obvious to others.
thank you for the reply I appreciate it. so I already asked this question but i want to be clear. is it ok that the couple visit once for 2 months then get married. in doing so the sponsor can visit his wife with the travel restricted country because she can only stay in her home country with no travel restrictions for the two months then she has to go back due to her work. so do the immigration officers want to see that you visited a few times before marriage or before the sponsorship?
I'm not sure you understand. No-one can give you a simple answer. It depends. There are only a few "is it okay" questions to which there are solid answers - you can't be in more than one marriage at once, etc.
The rest or so-called 'red flags' are more like points for your driving license or yellow cards in football. One or two things might mean a little more extra scrutiny. Or not, if they believe the relationship is real. Collect enough of them and the process might take a long time or even get refused.
You'll have to figure out yourself how to proceed.
I agree with YVR123, In an arranged marriage it is the parents of the 2 families who usually introduce the two people to each other, what the OP is saying is the opposite of that.
Yes, you're right; my "can't say" comment was unclear, but I was referring to different part of statement.
To repeat for clarity: don't claim it was an arranged marriage if it wasn't - tell the truth and explain as best you can. No-one can say if the application with only one visit will be approved; more visits make the application more credible but that may not be practical - one can explain those factors but may not be enough.
There are other factors we don't know about in the application that will play a role in how the relationship is seen.
It's not arranged marriage but it sounds similar to my situation. We are both muslim and we don't date. It is better to have multiple visits, definitely. And you can't really make up rules as you go to your benefit. If you are muslim and you visit your prospective wife - follow the halal way and don't stay with your wife prior to marriage. I did spend time with my husband's family in their home but I shared a room with his sisters. At the end of the day, be genuine... people do get married quick and some of the processes with IRCC are on outdate "norms" of dating/marriage. But, at the end of the day, the burden of proof of a genuine marriage is on you. They will want to see a development of your relationship.
