Thanks Everyone

... And the answer to the question would be "NO"...No traditional wedding done nor dowry paid.

Since Its a K1 visa...

Quick question for everybody: For the K1 visa, When a CO ask if you've done a traditional ceremony and if you've paid bride price..what are you supposed to answer???

I heard that if you answer a "Yes" to the above questions that you would be rejected and told to go file for a CR-1, because that means "you are married"..Please can somebody help with this question?

And @ kunleseun, can you pls tell us what your fiance answered for the traditional ceremony/bride price question?..

Thanks!!!

Thanks!!!

You're rite, suaverikky. That's what I heard too. A traditional Ceremony and/or paying bride price is as good as having the bride to yourself. I was told that if this is true, you will likely be told to go get a wedding certificate issued, and apply for a K3, or whatever the spouse visa is called.....lol, and especially that ASIAN lady too. I am still laughing from that question.
