Hello Guys,
I am holder of H-1B visa and did Nikah(Marriage) in Pakistan in March. Due to job urgencies, I had to leave states a day after my Nikah. Our rukhsati is planned after a couple of months, subjected to my wife getting H-4. She applied for H-4 recently from Islamabad, but her visa got rejected under 214b for INA. The immigration officer told my wife that your marriage (Nikah) is not considered to be correct under US laws, since your husband left a day after your Nikah... She also asked where she was living and she told them that she is living with her parents..... The visa officer didn't even look into any other docs.... We had the Nikah Nama translated in English, attested by Justice of Peace and Foreign Ministry in Pakistan too..... Please any advice how to move forward? My I-140 date is in October and I had applied for I-485 and I-140 under category B-2. My lawyer told me that your wife should be here within a week after ur I140 got approved, because the I485 can come any time if there is no security check... I know that if I get my I485 approved, it will take 7-8 yrs for my wife to join me in USA. Can somebody also tell me what to do under this situation? Should I start preparing for Follow To Join as well?
