engagement ring

[K and A 0]

Hello,

My engagement ring is what you would call an eternity band. One with similar sized diamonds about half the circumference of the ring. In India there is no specific type of engagement ring. I liked the band and told my fiance that, besides I am afraid of having the ring with one big rock.It attracts too much attention.

Will the Co look at this like we are married? I know some people have been questioned as to why they don't have a ring. Of course I wont be wearing it at POE but My guess is that the interviewing CO would have more of an idea of Indian traditions and that we don't have any specific type of engagement ring.What do you'll think ? Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it. People have all sorts of different ring styles and some people don't even wear an engagement ring or sometimes even a wedding band. The material things like that shouldn't matter. I didn't have my engagement ring when I went for my interview as it was still being made.

In Eastern Europe, women often do not wear engagement bands, so it wouldn't matter. Consular officers are usually aware of the custom in the country where they serve. You might want to post the question in the correct Regional Sub-forum to get the opinion of folks familiar with the embassy you will visit. Good Luck!

Thanks for the replies. I guess I shouldn't be too worried about things like this
