Evidence of genuine marriage

[patracy 1]

We had simple civil marriage and had dinner with friends n family. We have tons of pictures together with friends and family. We are looking to have our dream wedding some time in the future, but we can not afford it now. Is it necessary or mandatory to have wedding pictures to proof marriage is genuine?

I would say absolutely, you must have wedding pictures. I also had something on the simple side, although I did have a gown, professional pictures, and a reception. But I don't think that a big wedding is necessary...as long as they can see that some type of ceremony and celebration took place. I think whatever you have will be fine.

Is mandatory, no; is it necessary, IMO, absolutely, even if you only had a small civil ceremony.

We have already perform the customary rites n all, but we do not have lots of pictures of that event< cos we really kept it real simply n low budgeted. Do you think the 5 pictures of us with family n friends is fine. The rest of the pictures are simply just us on honey moon n other trips or events taken together.

How about making a collage of photos? That's what I did to fit more pictures into a page.. Goodluck!

Yes we have pictures taken at the civil marriage. We are not in our wedding gown or tux though....we simply had on a dress n suit n with few friends n family. Then we later on perform the customary rites, also with few family n friends. However, we have tons of tons pictures of just us on several trips n on our honey moon.

If more pics are just 2 of you then that kinda raises the flag, but again it call all depend on who is reviewing your case.

Normally they want to see the pics as it is customary in your country and culture. They want to see marriage pics where they have friends and families in them.

I sent them pictures of our Civil ceremony (we had our big wedding after starting the i-130 process). My dress was not white, Hadrien had a brown suit.

Absolutely no problem.

We have other eveidence as well apart from the few pictures with friends n families of our simple customary n civil marriage.

We have assets together such as house, lands, car, insurance, joint accounts, call logs, emails, video chats, money transfers, I have visited home 5 times within two years just to be with my spouse. Also in the plans of a major wedding coming up soon.

I'm sure they prefer more pictures but you can only give them what you have. Just as long as you have a timeline of photos to show a consistent relationship, it should suffice.

I think we took the photos with us, and that they were not looked at.
