FAQs

Since it is an arranged marriage, I'm sure some of you have questions. Hopefully this answers most of those. Also, this website is mostly just for Aldous' friends in the US, so the FAQs are focussed on questions Aldous has heard from them.
Question

Did my family find this match?

Answer

Yes they did, but we used a matrimonial website (https://www.chavaramatrimony.com/) to find her. We also employed a matchmaker's help to better verify the match

Question

Did I have any say in this?

Answer

Yes, we had/have plenty of say in it.

Question

What does Noel do?

Answer

Noel works as a contract admin at a warehouse similar to Amazon warehouses. She coordinates and handles shipping for her contract. She completed her Master's in Finance in the UK and is currently working there in extension to the study visa.

Question

What's the plan after the wedding?

Answer

We both plan to come back to Grand Rapids area after the wedding where she'll join me. Until the first stage of Green Card application (i-140) is complete, she would not be able to work though.

Question

How to get an Indian visa?

Answer

I have not done this before, but I usually start the process these days by asking ChatGPT or Gemini a question similar to below: "Im an american citizen. I'd like to go to India for a friend's wedding in November 2026. What do i need to do to obtain a visa?" or "You're an iq 145 immigration specialist. Im an american citizen. I'd like to go to India for a friend's wedding in November 2026. help me get the necessary documentation"
