If asked if my husband came to Canada, which the answer is yes, many times, do I need to stay clear of the fact that one time he came here and we had a religious marriage ceremony so that our families could meet and share in our union ? We were married civily 6 months prior to the religious wedding. I don't believe this is against the rules... but I remember reading that it might be frowned upon.

Also, my husband is flying down from Colorado to come to the interview with me. There's nothing wrong with that either is there ?

Hi Catou,

I don't think there is anything wrong with either of those things.

As long as the religious ceremony is not legally binding, it shouldn't be a problem at all - what ceremonies you and your Husband choose is really no ones business but your own

I wouldn't hide it and I wouldn't volunteer it.

We had a court house wedding (real 1) and then later (before the interview) a family wedding!! Montreal never asked anything to do about the wedding!!

Very basic questions: How we met, what my wife did in the USA, what my plans for employment was and that was about it!! It was very very quick and painless. Best of luck

I'm confused. Why would it matter if you had two ceremonies before applying for a K-3?

Good point. I didn't even look to see which visa it was, I just assumed a K1 that's what you get for giving a rushed answer - sorry about that Catou.

We did the exact same thing...we had a civil ceremony and then a church wedding in Canada. My husband is coming to the interview. I am bringing pictures from both ceremonies in case they ask for them. I believe you are good to go.
