Another Question

[Linguere 0]

I've been around Senegalese almost all of my adult life and I've known many people who had marriages performed for them in Senegal while they lived here in the states. We had the naming ceremony for our daughter performed that way as well. If you have someone to speak on your behalf, then it is not necessary for you to be there.

There was another member (not from Senegal) who did a traditional wedding ceremony and at the interview photos were shown to them of this ceremony that had not been distributed to anyone and were only in their personal email inboxes. The Senegalese embassy is not an easy place to deal with...had it not been for an ultrasound, they were going to deny my husband a visa, despite a huge file of phone calls, emails, chats and pictures with both families. I've known others who had 2 or 3 photos for a period of a few years and almost no evidence, yet they got a visa with no problem.

Best of luck to you!
