Hi folks,
This is my first post here but have been a lurker for a while. I am posting this after considerable use of the search engine not leading to much helpful info.
I and my wife got married under a Christian ceremony very recently, and as foolish as it may seem to many of you, we did not realize that a Church marriage is not considered legal.
It looks like I now have to fly back to India to register our marriage. The whole process will delay our application by at least a month or two (depending mainly on when I can fly out).
My question to you folks is this: Can I start the visa sponsorship process right now using the Church certificate, with a note in the application stating that I plan to send in the official government certificate once I get it?
