Re: marriage for immigration
I know a case with a very close friend of mine. She met a guy online . Fell in love . He was from Karachi . She and her family went over to Karachi and met the guy’s family. They insisted on a quick wedding . Nikkah was done without rukhsati . She came back and put in the papers for spouse visa . Soon they recieved it and she went back to karachi within weeks and got married . The guy arrived , spent 5 years and applied for nationality .
It was then that he went to Pakistan in all these years . Never took his wife from the UK back to Pakistan to visit family . It was purely by chance that she found out he left another wife and two kids back home and kids are Ma Shaa Allah all grown up ( one of them in early teens )
She was heart broken , mainly because she thought , all these years she was happily living in an illusion , a fraud , a web of lies . Problems began . The guys offered divorce happily. She accepted and then met a solicitor and put a case on him for fraud .
His passport was withheld and he was asked to leave the country . ( within 5 months of getting his passport , he was stripped of it )
So yes fraud happens , sometimes you catch it , sometimes you dont . If a little more time had went by , she wouldnt have been able to take much action against him .
ChickenBiryani,
I am going through exactly the same thing and am looking for a lawyer to put a case of fraud on my husband. PLEASE will you be kind enough to get me details and PM me?
