Engagement Ring Before Filing K-1

[MariaElizabeth 0]

Hello,

Do you need an engagement ring before filing for the K-1 Visa or can you file the forms before having a ring? Thanks!

Having an engagement ring is not a requirement for filing the petition. In fact, I never had an engagement ring

Good luck

Okay, thanks. I am going to visit my boyfriend and we have decided to pick out a ring when I am visiting, but since we have all the paperwork ready, we were unsure if we could go ahead and file the forms without actually having the ring yet.

Not all can afford an Engagement Ring. In many cultures there isn't an ENgagement Ring at all, but there might be some type of ceremony or cash and payments of jewelry.

Sometimes the Embassy/Consulate will only grant the visa if there is evidence of the ceremony and many times there simply is no way to be sure. In the case of the Western world, they do seem to like to see a ring by the time of the visa interview. If you get a ring by the time of your interview, show it.

Good luck.

A ring is not a requirement. I'll repeart what Audy_Rob has already said, show it if you have it.
