Hi Guys,
I had some doubts on the Culturally Arranged Marriage applications
I tried searching for threads on this topic on the forum, but the OP never gave an ending to their threads as to what happened or if they even applied.
My to-be wife is about to apply for this visa soon.
Myself ( a NZ resident class visa holder in Auckland )
Wife ( will apply from India )
My questions were about the below points:
- documents indicating that the arrangement or ceremony is publicly recognized ( will this work? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrang...rriage_process )
- confirmation from a independent source that the arrangement or ceremony is part of the couple’s cultural customs ( as JandM mentioned in another thread, will try to get a letter from a religious leader ... but who should do this me or the applicant, I mean this letter from the leader is to be from NZ or India? )
- a written account of how the marriage was arranged ( again.. who shall write this account ? and should this be like a timeline format or a story like one )
I will keep this thread updated throughout the process and hopefully it guides others too in the future.
Thanks
