Why should visa promises be treated carefully in rishta discussions?

Direct answer
Visa promises should be treated carefully because marriage, immigration and sponsorship are separate processes with their own rules.
A person may sincerely want to sponsor a spouse, but that does not guarantee approval, timing or eligibility.
Families should not make a marriage decision only on the promise of going abroad. Verify status, documents and realistic timelines first.
This protects both sides. A proposal can be sincere and still face delays, refusals or practical limits, so expectations should be based on official requirements, not verbal guarantees.
