US Citizen Petitioning “Married” Brother
Hi guys, I need your advice. As a US citizen I am planning to petition my brother, however, he is still legally “married,” but separated from her previous wife. He is in a relationship with another woman. How do I handle that situation in terms of the documents from him that I have to summit in the application? Do I still need to include his current marriage certificate? Do I still list him as a married person? How this situation affects the process? What documents from him do I include? By the way, he has an unmarried daughter with her previous wife who is over 21 years who does not leave with him, do I include her in the petition process?
Your advice will be very helpful; thank you all.
Nikah Nama lost
I'm petitioning an IR5 for my parents, who are both elderly and got married 40 years ago. We can't find their Nikah Nama. I've visited all possible govt offices in hopes of finding it, including the suspected UC where they think it was filed, and also old record rooms of Karachi, but it is nowhere to be found.
Since a nikah nama is a requirement for pakistan, what is the best course of action? Has someone else faced this before? I've been advised to visit a qazi and draw up a new nikah nama with an affidavit from Nikah Registrar stating that the original is lost. It will not be the same Nikah Registrar as he has passed away.
Are there any success stories with similar situation as mine? And what has been done in those cases? And what has been the best course of action?
