While researching and preparing for this issue, I repeatedly came across wedding planning articles with negative language. Many of these articles emphasized how stressful, expensive, and frustrating the wedding planning process is. I beg to differ with these so-called “experts.” You are marrying the love of your life — your soulmate — and you are going to celebrate that, honoring the gift of love and being loved in return. Look at the beauty of a wedding through a golden lens. You will see excitement and fun! Throughout this issue, we have done our best to remove the negative language while still being realistic and practical.
On behalf of myself and the rest of the Desh-Videsh Media team, we hope your journey of planning YOUR wedding is as fun, rewarding, and inspiring as the actual Big Day!
Happy Planning and an even happier ever after!! Raj ManagingShah Editor
After working with wedding professionals, and several brides, grooms, and families for 15+ years, the most important advice I can impart is that the phrase “It Takes Teamwork to Make the Dream Work” is absolutely true. You need to assemble your “Dream Team’’ to ensure that you don’t look back on your special day and wish you would have done a little more or sprung for that little extra. It all starts with your fiance. He/she needs to be on the same page as far as what the two of you hope to see happen on your wedding day. Also, please do not forget to hire an event planner. Those old days of counting on your cousin or uncle to plan your wedding are gone — or probably should be. There are professionals for a reason. Assemble your team — your wedding party and the professional vendors. Support the wedding professionals who are advertising in this issue and who are listed as preferred vendors on our website.They will listen to what your vision is and do what they can to make it happen. Build and assemble a team you can trust to make that special day what you’ve always dreamed of!
The team at Desh-Videsh Media group would be truly honored to be a small part of the memorable journey you are about to embark upon. It is one of the most important and exciting times of your lives, and we sincerely hope you enjoy every minute of it!.
Dear Readers, What a difference a year makes! I can confidently say that we are on the other side of the pandemic. (I hope!) I can also — with even more confidence — declare that weddings are back! In fact, the wedding industry is gearing up for its busiest year in 2023 — an estimated 2.6 million weddings are projected to take place according to a latest report from the market research firm The Wedding Report. That will mark the most weddings we will likely see in nearly 40 years. I can attest to this recent boom, as we saw a record number of brides, grooms, and families that came to our MyShadi Bridal Expo in Orlando last month.

DivyaKush &
Both of them are physicians and have known each other formally. However, it was the rhythm of the dance that made them fall for each other. Divya Aickara and Kush Shah fell in love as competitors in a dance competition in Fort Lauderdale in October of 2013. Divya won both the competition and Kush’s heart as they began dating. After a six-year relationship, Kush proposed to Divya on New Year’s Eve, 2018, in Miami.Divya said “Yes” and the couple started planning for their marriage. However, the Covid-19 pandemic upset the celebration plans initially. After the restrictions were over, they decided to have the formal wedding ceremony on January 22, 2022, at Omni Orlando Resort. Both Divya and Kush are great supporters of wedding planners to ensure a stress-free and organized function. Among the pre-wedding ceremonies, they had the Mehndi, Pithi, and Sangeet/Garba. The Mehndi was an intimate affair with close family and friends in attendance. The backdrop was beautifully decorated with bells, roses, and multi-colored umbrellas. There were two canopies where the artists applied Mehndi to the guests.
Just after the ceremonies were complete, the couple went out on the Baraat Jeep for an intimate photo session. It was the most precious memory for both of them during the entire ceremony and celebrations. The reception theme was elegant and classic with shades of champagne, gold, and white featuring pink and white flowers. Candlelight was used extensively through the background and along the stage edges. Light pink and golden yellow up-lights were lit throughout the room. The couple along with the bridesmaids and the groomsmen gave stellar dance performances with Bollywood, Hip Hop, Pop, Reggaeton, and other music. All 260 guests had a wonderful time. This was how the newlyweds celebrated their memorable day — with excitement dominating.
20 SEPTEMBER 2022 - WWW.DESHVIDESH.COM
The Pithi was also an intimate event where the couple appeared in matching yellow outfits, Converse All-stars, and Aviator sunglasses. The Sangeet was full of energy, color, and fantastic décor with a canopy of multi-colored kites and flags as well as market lights. Excellent dance performances from both families and fantastic food made the event a majorThehit.wedding ceremony was supposed to take place outdoors, but cold weather and rain shifted the celebration to inside the ballroom. It featured a dark wood Mandap with a floral frame highlighted by portraits of both Divya and Kush’s grandparents opposite the Mandap as a mark of respect. Kush arrived at the venue dancing with his family and friends on a Jeep while the groomsmen carried an elephant on a stick. Live Dholi and Bollywood songs dominated the music.

&Jessica Shyam Pixel Collection Photography
Shyam fell in love with Jessica the moment he laid eyes on her… picture. It was a chilling January night when he met her at a mutual friend’s party. Within a few days, they met again and began their love story. The utterly romantic Shyam proposed to Jessica at Bunkers of Carmel in Barcelona. It was November 23, 2019, when the couple traveled to what is considered by many the most scenic viewpoint in the entire city even before the crack of dawn, allowing Shyam the opportunity to propose to his lady love with the rising sun as a witness. The couple decided to tie the knot two years later — almost to the day — in 2021. November 27 would be the special day. They chose The Bibb Mill Event Center in Columbus, GA, since Jessica and her family were from Columbus and Shyam and his family were from Madison, GA. Among the pre-wedding festivities, both the bride and the groom celebrated Ganesh Puja, Graha Shanti, and Haldi at their residences with simple and traditional decorations created by their mothers.
The wedding took place in the morning, inside a banquet hall. Fortunately, the big windows of the banquet room allowed sunlight to enter and create a positive and festive vibe. Apart from the Bollywood (old school and new), bhangra, American/Indian like Jalebi Baby, and American hip-hop set the musical mood. A solo performance by professional Bollywood/classical dancer, Maria, before either the groom or bride entered kept all the 250 guests mesmerized. Wedding decorations were simple and elegant with pastel shades and fresh flowers. Shyam arrived in a G-wagon, with the baraatis dancing on the way to the ceremony.
The reception was a gala event with lots of music and dancing by the bride and groom and all of their family and friends. The decoration was simple with pastel shades featuring three-tier floating candles at each table for the centerpiece. There was a cake-cutting ceremony with music while a live dhol player and DJ created the joyful ambience with almost all of the 300 guests joining the celebrations. It was a happy and fun-filled event that created countless memories for the couple.

&Rajsee Abhinav NSPG Media
Acasual introduction at middle school summer camp turned out to be a lifelong bond for Rajsee and Abhinav. After the summer camp, they remained in touch through social media. Fast forward 13 years and the now mature adults rekindled that chemistry from their childhood through a dating app. Their common interests and lengthy contact with each other made them an adorable couple. After dating for a year, Abhinav proposed to Rajsee at Mizner Park in Boca Raton in front of a beautiful gazebo in the presence of their best friends and siblings. The wedding planning was a collaborative effort for the happy couple. They did all the preparations and decorations by themselves. Although both reside in Florida, they chose to have the wedding celebrations in Orlando, as the venues were beautiful and budget-friendly. Lake in Maitland was finalized for the Sangeet and Garba while the Sheraton Orlando North was perfect for the wedding and reception on May 28, 2022. All 130 guests who attended the wedding stayed in the Sheraton Orlando. The duo celebrated the prewedding ceremonies of Ganesh Puja, Mehndi, Pithi or Haldi, and Sangeet. The first three were celebrated in the backyard of their homes which Rajsee and Abhinav decorated with touches of class and creativity. It was a morning wedding inside the ballroom. Rajsee’s mother Bhairavi Pandya solemnized the wedding ceremony as a female purohit (priest). She explained all of the Sanskrit mantras in English which was a great experience for the guests. The color theme for the wedding was
purple, red, and gold. The mandap was square-shaped and decorated with colored fabrics and florals with a floating Ganesh backdrop. Rajsee was escorted by her uncles and grandmother as she reached the aisle. Abhinav arrived at the wedding venue in a Tesla with his friends and family dancing alongside until they reached the hotel entrance to meet the bride’s family. Bollywood songs dominated the marriage ceremony. The reception was a gorgeous and colorful party with a blend of Bollywood and American pop songs. There were dance performances by both sides. The groom’s side entered the venue first followed by the bride’s family and friends. Royal blue, purple, and gold were the main colors. The centerpieces were tall candelabras with purple and white flowers while the stage featured a gold loveseat wrapped with gold sequin and blue fabrics.Rajsee and Abhinav planned everything together which made their big day all the more special. Their creativity, innovation, and love for each other made them the perfect couple.

The wedding ceremony took place inside a banquet hall. It featured a touch of the Royal Indian wedding, as the groom arrived on a white horse with a mix of hip hop and bhangra music in the background. Classic Indian movie songs were played during the wedding ceremonies. The couple along with the groom’s family left in the horse and carriage. It was indeed a royal experience for all 250 guests in attendance. The reception theme was dreamy and glamorous. Silver and pink accent pieces, textured lighting, and cold sparklers throughout the night created just the right ambience and effect. The stage was decorated with the names of the bride and groom, and the first dance song was “Ghost”
The dream wedding began with the Garba dance celebration the night before the wedding. Pink was the theme color, and both Radha and Aalok were draped in beautiful pink lehenga and sherwani amidst matching décor.
Love is never planned; it is predestined and happens suddenly. That is what happened to interventional cardiologist Aalok Patel. His exhaustive virtual search for a soulmate was futile until he met physician Anuradha Bhavsar (Radha for short) on a dating app. There was an instant connection and great communication. Love that was hard to find was finally found just 70 miles away. They fell in love, and it was marvelous. After nine months of dating, Aalok proposed to Radha up in the sky on a helicopter ride capped off with an eager “Yes” from hisThelady.couple decided to tie the marital knot in a traditional Indian ceremony held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Orlando. It is Radha’s hometown and Aalok’s present residence. That is why Orlando was the perfect venue for both parties. The third weekend of January 2022 was booked, the date being January 22. The couple hired a decorator, photographer, caterer, makeup artist, henna artist, DJ, and finally a wedding planner for a pictureperfect wedding.

&Marvi Ibrahim NSPG Media
They came from different backgrounds and cultures. Yet, their mutual love and eternal bond made each the perfect companion for one another. Marvi Qureshi and Ibrahim Gul were introduced to each other in their medical school in Orlando and felt chemistry right away. Both families were delighted with their bond and wanted them to tie the knot. Ibrahim proposed to Marvi following the traditional Islamic culture known as Mangni. The wedding took place in a Mosque according to the religious customs in the preCovid time of December 2019. After this, they exchanged rings at Waldorf Astoria. The Covid pandemic and the related restrictions delayed the celebrations. Hence, the wedding and reception took place more than a year later, on June 19, 2021. The duo enjoyed elaborate pre-wedding ceremonies organized by their close friends. Marvi had the privilege of celebrating at four different bridal showers hosted by her four bridesmaids. They also had four Dholkis celebrated at their friends’ places. There was the Mayoun event, too, where they had a flower separation sitting on the same couch while Marvi was putting on the bridal Mehndi. The wedding ceremony at the Hyatt Regency-Orlando proved to be a grand event attended by 500 guests. Ibrahim arrived on a BMW i8 along with his family. Marvi appeared on a moon for her entrance driven by her brothers Mansoor and Kamran with songs and smoke permeating the room. “Floating” through the aisle and dance floor on the moon, Marvi dismounted and walked down to her groom. They cut a beautifully decorated five-tier cake and enjoyed songs and dance performances by family and friends of both. The couple left the venue with sparklers in hand as they entered the baraat car. The reception, or Valima, venue was at Waldorf Astoria-Orlando. It took place during the day with beautiful décor that featured floating

The couple performed two dances highlighted by a special moment in which Ibrahim lifted Marvi, who looked gorgeous in her Mehndi-colored outfit and heavy bridal jewelry. It was Father’s Day and so the darling daughter enjoyed a father-daughter dance to the song “Dilbaro.” The Kashmiri tea stall at the wedding and reception was a grand success. It was indeed the melting pot of two different cultures united by love.

Binny Dewang& Franzi
Annika Photography
The incessantly rainy night had a magic touch. It was the first real meeting between Binny and Dewang after virtual dating. They met at a Wine Bar in Garwood, NJ. A Rainy night and glass of wine created an instant bonding between them and they could feel that they had found their soulmates. Binny being a great fan of wine, Dewang arranged the proposal at Unionville Vineyards for a private wine tasting where Dewang put a sticker with “I love you, will you marry me” on the bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, Binny’s favorite wine. The couple wanted a destination wedding within the USA. Binny is a lover of greenery and Dewang is a beach person. Wild Dunes Resorts in Isle of Palms, South Carolina had the perfect coordination of both greenery and beach, which fascinated both the bride and groom. Hence It became the destination of their wedding ceremony on November 21, 2021.
Dewang arrived at the wedding site in a 1965 Red Ford Mustang, with all of his family and friends. The music consisted of hip hop and EDM songs with a blend of Bollywood. The color theme for the reception was black and gold. There was a lot of enjoyment, music, dancing and a skit on the love story of Binny and Dewang. All the 220 guests including the family and friends of the bride and groom had a gala time. There were first and last dances, Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances were synchronized together. 90s hip hop, EDM and Reggaeton dominated the musical background.Theexquisitely creative bride designed all the invitations, wedding signs and above all her own, the grooms, and the bridesmaids’ outfits! Among all the festivities, both of them loved the exchange of letters the best. It was an exclusive expression of love and a sense of belonging for each other.
The venue is so beautiful with an outstanding location, they did not give much emphasis on the decoration, keeping the natural beauty of the surroundings intact. They had a combined welcome party and Mehndi night at the poolside. Vidhi and Haldi were celebrated at the beach and the Sangeet was on the rooftop of one of the buildings of the resort. The wedding ceremony was in the morning. Binny and Dewang wrote letters to each other which they opened during the first look. The outdoor wedding was on a grassy area overlooking the beach. The palm trees and the greenery all around with a cool sea breeze created a soothing atmosphere. Both Binny and Dewang were dressed in shades of purple and the theme color was also shades of purple, yellow and white.

David N. Sachs Photography & Arpan
Noveen
The dating app Bumble played the matchmaker for Noveen Moinpour and Arpan Bajaj. Following a number of years together, Arpan decided to propose to Noveen on the fourth anniversary of their first date. It was a pleasant surprise for Noveen as Arpan proposed to her during their Napa trip in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. At the next stage of their relationship, the couple decided together to follow rituals from both the bride’s and the groom’s sides. Noveen being Persian and Arpan Indian, they had two dates and separate venues for two sets of weddings and receptions. The wedding weekend began with the Indian wedding which they celebrated on November 19, 2021, at Pier 27 in San Francisco. The Persian wedding followed the next day on November 20, 2021, at Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco. The lengthy guest list of 450 required hotels large enough to accommodate them.
The marriage was a perfect blend of Persian and Indian cultures where traditions, music, and celebrations were a happy combination of both traditions and ethos. Indian pre-wedding ceremonies, such as the Pooja and Mehndi, were celebrated at Arpan’s parents’ house. Despite being a Persian, Noveen participated in the Mehndi beautifully decked up in bright jewel tones of pink andTheyellow.Hindu wedding ceremony began at 4:00 p.m., followed by a cocktail and reception. With the San Francisco skyline as the backdrop, there was a simple mandap featuring burgundy and green flowers representing fall. Arpan arrived in a red Ferrari and the music was a blend of Hindi, Persian, and English songs. The Indian reception was a combination of both reception and Sangeet highlighted by speeches and dance performances from family members and friends. There were Mehndi artists and a bangle bar for the guests.

The Persian wedding ceremony was held inside the Gold Room at the Fairmont Hotel. A platform decorated with gold and white accent pieces was set. The flowers were green and white. The pillars had love poems in Persian calligraphy. The theme colors for the reception were black, gold, and white. The entire theme and festivities of the dual-culture marriage made it all the more memorable for the couple. They received blessings from almost everyone for this beautiful marriage and both of them embraced and enjoyed each other’s traditions with love and respect.

1st (EB-1) Current Current 2nd (EB-2) 01 April 2019 01 December 2014 (a wait of almost 8 years) 3rd (EB-3) 22 April 2018 15 February 2012 Sep 2022 Visa Bulletin 2022 -
Employment-Based China - Mainland Born India
The second burden of an EB-2 NIW is the National Interest Waiver (NIW). If the job or “endeavor” would be in the National Interest of the United States, the NIW allows you “self-petition”. Unfortunately, which jobs and applicants would qualify for a national interest wavier are not specifically defined by statute. The USCIS uses a 3-part test to prove National Interest and we use evidence that your profession is both important and essential along with being in short supply. As an Immigration Attorney who specializes in such visas and waivers, I use my own experience and intuition to determine if you would have a reasonable chance of success with your NIW. Obviously, the stronger your application the better your chances.
68 SEPTEMBER
Question:
EB-2 visas and National Interest Waivers (NIW)
“I’m a 40-year-old airline captain from New Zealand with over 15 years of aviation experience currently flying in the Middle East. While my parents are from India, I was born in Auckland. Could I qualify for an EB-2 NIW? What is an NIW and what are my chances of getting an EB-2 NIW? Great question! I currently represent experienced foreign airline pilots in your exact situation. Since my father was a pilot and a US Air Force Major and Vietnam Veteran, I grew up around aviation and really enjoy working with pilots. It is challenging but also exciting to determine whether you would likely qualify and if it is worth applying. No attorney can (or should) give a guarantee on your exact chances of approval since the decision by the USCIS is completely discretionary and seemingly has some elements of randomness. It is very important to realistically manage client’s expectations and remain transparent throughout the entire process. After an in-depth consultation of your C.V., work experiences, and possible references, I will give you my honest appraisal on whether you have a strong case, weak case, or something in between. Once I assess your chances, I will tell you the strengths and weaknesses in your case. While I like challenges, if on its face you do not have the qualifications and experience, I will advise you about otherOneoptions.advantage with the EB-2 NIW is that you do not need an offer of employment or an employer sponsor … you can “self-petition”. Because you can self-petition, the strength of your application is matters even more than usual. The first burden of an EB-2 NIW for a pilot (or any other profession in this category) is proving exceptional ability. This is defined by the USCIS as having, “a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered”. Experience alone is generally not enough. We will need to be able to prove your talents and demonstrate your quality.
Question: “I’m a 35-year-old nurse in India and my cousin told me there’s a hospital in St. Louis that desperately needs to fill its nursing shortage. Could I qualify for an EB-2?”
Yes, there is a nursing shortage all over the United States. Medical facilities are looking for solutions to hire more qualified nurses, including sponsoring foreign talent like yourself. If you hold an advanced degree or possess exceptional ability you could qualify for an EB-2. Since the EB-2 is an immigrant visa (and leads to a green card) all applicants are still subject to the visa bulletin. If you were born in India, regardless of your current citizenship or nationality, you would be subject to the long visa bulletin wait times from India (estimated at almost 8 years for the 2nd employment preference under an EB-2 classification). Unless you are currently in the U.S. working with another visa or can get one (such

I can think of one possible solution to get around the long EB-2 visa bulletin wait … the EB-1 (which was covered in more depth in the July 2022 issue). If you are a nurse with extraordinary ability including exceptional experience, qualifications, achievements, and awards you might qualify for an EB-1 green card. The September 2022 visa bulletin for the 1st employment-based preference category (EB-1) from India is current. Yes, an EB-1 approval for a nurse will be quite challenging and it may not have a high chance of success, but a strong applicant combined with the work of an experienced and creative immigration attorney could result in a successful petition. As unfair as it might seem, if you were born outside of India, you could potentially qualify for an EB-2 green card as a professional nurse avoiding the long wait time for your green card to become available. Due to the labor shortage in certain occupations, nurses (and physical therapists) can apply for an EB-2. However, you still would need a petitioner with an offer of full-time employment at the prevailing wage.
