We have been together in the states 2.5 years and I'm legal here in the states, but not having found a job in almost 6 months (I'm Canadian), we are obligated to get married quickly...

We will be getting married by a Commissioner of civil Marriages. Should we take pictures? Will they be needed at the interview? I will not be wearing a white dress!

Of course we will have "an appropriate" wedding ceremony in the near future...

Anyone with good advice?

I would definitely take pictures. It's better to be safe than sorry. But, you will have your marriage certificate to show that you were legally married when the time comes for the interview.

Good luck and best wishes.

We did take some pictures at our court wedding (nothing fancy) she wore a nice top and pants and I a tie (not just a tie! pants and shirt also:LOL:) However, the interviewer didn't even open the envelope with our pictures. So, don't worry about wearing a wedding dress or having to prove anything - you will have the marriage certificate for that! Good Luck

We had our quickie civil wedding in February and the big formal wedding in May, and we didn't take any pictures at the first one. Since our church wedding was just a couple of months later, I think that shouldn't be a problem. But if you have longer time between the two ceremonies, I would definitely take pics at the first one as well.

Good luck,

CW
