Re: getting married in pak and moving to united states
my younger sis is going to usa after her wedding :(
how many u moved to usa from pak. ? how's life in usa? how do u compare lifes styles of both countries?any dificulties u may faced after going there.ofcourse there is a huge difernce in culture they are ore open and liberal in every thing.
one more question how long it takes u to go there i mean..ur visa procedure completed in how many months.
as far as how long, it depends, is she marrying a permanent resident or citizen?
the difference between life in US and life in Pak depends on what the life in Pakistan was like, it ranges from ppl who have drivers, chefs, maids, dhobis and general help to ppl who really do all on their own. IN US there are ppl who do all on their own or have varying levels of domestic help.
life in US is different for many people, majority of ppl dont have daily domestic help, distances are usually greater, unless u live in downtown or some older areas. of course there are a lot of conveniences that are available to you including grocery drop off and laundry pick up services.
paying bills etc is much easier, I could be mistaken but what i recall was that utility bills had to be paid at the bank, here i have autopay, i dont even see most of my regular bills like utility, phone, gas etc aside from scanning them for any glaring discrepencies.
for her it will not just ne a new place but a new lifestyle overall. how adaptable she is will be the most important thing.
the place she is moving to plays a big role as well, moving to virginia, NY, LA, houston, dallas or chicag etc works for many desis because of a huge community presence in each of these cities, however desmoines , iowa may provide some other challenges in terms of social life, not that I am advocating socializing wth pakistani expats or pakistani origin folks only
