[KP&RP 4]

Hi everyone! I have a question about showing pictures in the US embassy here in manila. Aould they allow picture from civil wedding? My husband and I only had a civil wedding ceremony and we only have few pictures because my digi cam git lowbatt on that say (bad timing) We're havibg our church wedding on Feb20124. My question is, Is it ok if i'll show them only few pics of our civil wedding? But I have lots of pictures of us together since we've known each other for 18years and been together for almost 8years. I also have a scrapbook full of pictures and memorabilyas of us being together. Hope to hear from you soon and tell me your interview exoeriance. Thanks!

They won't care what kind of wedding you had, a few pics of a civil wedding is fine. Your NSO CEMAR is going to prove you're married, not the pictures. Pictures are evidence of a relationship, not proof of marriage. A thousand pictures of a wedding would mean nothing without that CEMAR from the NSO. In fact there was someone recently complaining because his wife's visa got held up because they did not bring the marriage proof from the NSO.

I can't think of a single reason why pictures from a civil wedding would pose any problem at all. Marriage is marriage is marriage.

Okay,thanks! No problem about the marriage certificate, from NSO because I already have a original copy of that. Thanks again!

I agree with the others. My wife had her interview today and we just included three pictures from our wedding. The other pictures were just from the last 18 months together including one from 2010 of us holding a Manila Times newpaper up showing the date on it with a Christmas tree in the back ground. You'll be fine. Good luck.
