My wedding was in early Nov. It was Nikah and Rukhsati both as Rukhsati is now a must for spousal sponsorship. I threw a reception too as well to ensure that my case is strong

I think one should invite the chc isl people too on their wedding or they can ask them to be the witness of nikkah .. that way case could get more stronger

Agreed, that's an awesome idea.

Danny, I like how you said that you threw in a reception to make it stronger, kinda like making a bargain deal, however I think you made the best decision to do everything in one go.

hahaah i sent them too .. I even sent them the reservation slips of the hall in which the ceremony was conducted .. I would suggest embassy to have their own molvi ju sab kay nikkah parhae so that there remains no doubts .. aur nikkah parhanay k baad as a wedding gift they issue visa

Very well said ;D

Actually my case has been in process for 12 months but I got married in July 2009, I stayed with him for 2 + months. I applied in March 2010 and I haven't seen him in person since Sept 2009, 19 months. He has lots of responsibilities at home, he's the only male there. So we had thought then that once he applied he'd be here in 6-8 months so that's why I applied late. I wanted to give him time to do what he needed to do for his family. I would love to go back to visit him but unfortunately I too have responsibilities here and I can't go see him

Danny you posted somewhere that you had no idea how hard it'd be to be separated from your spouse for so long. That's exactly how I felt, I had no idea how hard it'd be once I was married. I thought it'd be a breeze and he'd be here in no time.

There is one thing I'd like to ask everyone here. I had nikkah at masjid and small family gathering at my husband's house where I stayed with him til I left for Canada. We kept it simple and with just immediate family. We then had our walima at a restaurant where we invited extended family and family friends. Do you think they'd make that an issue that we didn't do a grand ceremonial ruskati?

I always wanted a small and simple wedding. Believe me, my parents didn't agree but I really wanted it like that. Did I make a big mistake? :-\

I don't have the list with me but from what i remember this is what i sent them as supporting documents:

1) Engagement pix .. (Pix with my mom since I came back to Canada even before the Rishta was fixed)
2) My boarding pass from the earlier trip.
3) Email snaps and some detailed emails from the time of engagement till the wedding ( I didn't care about the privacy, wasn't really too private either as i rarely knew her)
4) Mehendi pix from both Mehendis
5) Nikkah Pictures (Signatures from both sides)
6) Group photos from the wedding (both families and close relatives marked)
7) Reception pix
8) Mehendi / banquet hall/ recption hall reciepts
9) Cohabitation pix
10) My whole family's boarding passes along with my own boarding pass.
11) Facebook status for both. Facebook profiles showing that we are husband and wife (Social proof)
12) Phone and text history since we got engaged
13) Wedding Invitations from both sides.

I might have missed something but someone who's wife was already here before my wedding gave me a list of supporting documents he submitted. So I thought I should share it with the rest of you so those who are about to apply can add it to their list which would make it easier for them.

Did you send them pictures from Nikkah, valima along with both families and close relatives? When I found out that rukhsati was a must, I made sure that the photographer takes pix of me and my wife walking from the stage to the car.
