How long was your relationship before you get married?
Do you have sufficient evidence like lots of photos before the wedding, proof of communication and etc?

You were just 7 months in Canada and went back right away?
Do you have a stable job already?

Some points must be suspicious thats why they rejected you guys.

So sorry to hear that. Hope you can still appeal and do something.

Intercaste marriage should be more reliable and its not necessary that you keep communicaton before marriage. If he is an indian officer he should understand, he cant behave like fool, how tough it is, to get intercaste marriage done.

How many people attended the marriage? Mine is also intercaste same my wife is hindu. I am afraid after seeing your status. But i landed came back imediately within 10 days and after 5 months got married. Because was convincing.

I too landed and went back to india immediately and got married after 10 days. i asked immigration people, they said it is ok to marry after landing but you cant get married after getting immigration visa and before landing.

What? Because you had a small wedding?

We had 0 (ZERO) guests, not even family or anything. Our witnesses were just random people!

Does this really matter?



Back to you... Do you have right of appeal?

@rsmeet - I feel your pain. But you have to take several things into consideration here. It is not a sin neither is it illegal to marry someone from a different caste. But unfortunately, you and I come from a country (India) where caste is given a ton of importance. It's bullshit if you ask me, but that's the way it is.

If you take your case, you are Hindu and she is Christian. Usually when inter caste marriages happen and there is not enough proof to portray a genuine marriage (which might include either christian or Hindu ceremonies, families present etc), it puts some doubt in the VOs mind. For him it appears that you either eloped to get married or It's a marriage of convenience. It sucks, but that's the way it is.

I wish you good luck on your appeal and hopefully everything will work out in your favor.

cheers

I doubt eloping would be grounds for rejection. If they did elope, maybe they don't have enough proof to prove that their relationship is genuine.

Either way, all the best with your appeal. I wish VOs are held accountable when they make obvious errors or are negligent in their decisions. Making decisions that have significant impact on people's lives.....

The visa officers in New Delhi expect a big, traditional wedding for Indian couples. Visa officers in other embassies mostly do not - it depends what the local norms are. In India, a big, traditional wedding is normal; interfaith marriages are not normal; intercaste marriages are not normal. You can still get accepted, but the visa officer will be suspicious and so the couple will need more evidence than usual.

they just rejected the visa saying that the marriage was not valid as my wife got converted into hindu legally and then we did a small marriage in mumbai in hindu tradition with ceremony with our friends and close relatives but only 25 people attended the wedding, then we register the marriage with municipal corporation of mumbai with witness who were relatives , we did not did reception as we had financial problem , we were lso dating for like 2 years before marriage, we went for honeymoon, we had given lots of photos,emails phone records , skype records, tickets, and more but he rejected saying that marriage was small and canada will not accept this marriage , he said my wife we have to remarriage, how is that possible, i am still waiting for refusal letter, i will go for appeal i know it takes year or more but i need to fight, life is gonna be difficult without my wife, infact i recieved GCMS notes 2 weeks before interview and the comments in the notes says couple looks happy and geniune ,,,,,,,,,,looking out for a good lawyer or consultant any suggestions guys
