All overseas scenarios

Marriage never formally registered in India?

You can establish a marriage through affidavits and supporting evidence for a foreign filing.

Please note

We do not provide legal representation before USCIS or any foreign immigration authority. What we provide is consultation on the documentation itself, and preparation of everything that needs to be done from the India side, coordinated directly with your relative or contact here.

Establishing the marriage

Where a marriage was solemnised but never registered, its existence can be established through sworn affidavits from those with direct knowledge, together with supporting evidence such as photographs, invitations, joint financial or residential records, and community acknowledgement.

Preparing it correctly

The strength of secondary evidence lies in its specificity and proper execution. We draft affidavits that state first-hand facts clearly, notarise them, and coordinate apostille so the package is ready for the applicant to submit abroad.

Common questions

Can we register the marriage now instead?

Sometimes delayed registration is possible; sometimes secondary evidence is the practical route. We advise on the best option for your specific filing.

What supporting documents help?

Wedding photographs, invitation cards, joint accounts or leases, and any correspondence acknowledging the marriage.

Do you represent us before the immigration authority?

No, we do not represent you before any foreign immigration authority. We provide the consultation and prepare the documentation on the India side, working directly with your relative or contact here so you don't have to manage it long-distance yourself.

Ready to review your situation?

These consultations are designed for clients abroad. We review your documents over a scheduled video call and outline the affidavits and steps needed.
