HI there, It is so interesting that my story is kind of similar to what you have explained here. We also don't want to do Anand Karaj without the presence of my parents. I am planning to go to India this year November to see him and we are thinking to have a legal marriage there as I only have 3 weeks to stay in India due to work. My parents cant travel right now because of their health issue and my siblings also cant travel this year. Also, doing Anand Karaj without my parents does not look good to us because it is big ceremony. so, we are planning to have a court marriage in India first so I can apply for this file to immigration and when his approval comes then we can do Anand Karaj next year along with all our family members. But we are just worried if the legal court marriage would be enough for immigration to approve him to come here. Because we cant stay away from each other for that long. we want to be together soon and start our life together. I would wanna know if you were from Canada, how did it go for you to have your husband's file get approved by immigration without Anand Karaj, is that possible? if you are from another country then it is okay. I am just looking for answers. We don't wanna anyone's feeling, also don't wanna do something which can cause problems for us in future. but we are sure be very cautious of doing the right thing. Thank You!
