My partner and I were discussing what our plans are for the future and the K-1 process, and he broke the news to me that right now he can't afford to give me the engagement that he thinks I deserve. He said that he wants to have extra time to save and will have to one give me when I come back to the states for our wedding. He said that yes, for all intents and purposes, we will be engaged, the only thing missing will be the bling. I have a promise ring that I wear on my left hand that he gave me, so until the real thing is on my finger, that will be acting as my engagement ring.

From what I have read, not having a ring is not going to be a problem when we first file, because we just need to prove we have met and have a relationship. But what about when we get to the interview - will wearing my promise ring suffice? We may have the receipt for the real ring by then so we can have it as evidence.

What have been your experiences with this? Were any of you not even engaged when you filed, but wanted to marry regardless?

A ring proves nothing at either the US part or the consulate part. Evidence that you are really engaged is what is needed, not several 100/1000$ spent on a ring that any fraudster would do.

Rings are a personal issue, not an immigration issue.
