ENGAGEMENT RING REQUIRED FOR VISA

[Zee Bee 61]

Acknowledged with respect, but again, this might backfire or be used against people who interview at certain consulates. People should consider the future ramifications carefully, is the point.

Agree with T-Bone on this. At some Sub-Saharan Africa consulates this is a no-no.

I wanted to choose our rings together once my fiance came to the states. He sent me a ring but we never mentioned it during the K1 process and it went smoothly. During our AOS interview we showed a pic with our rings over the bouquet as part of our wedding album. That was the first reference to rings during the process.

Nobody ever asked me that, you are just fine without it

Hi,

For my own opinion as in our casr co asked to ser our engagement ring,I mean u never know,buy cheap ring I'm sure u can find like 50 to 80 bucks nit bad,keep the receipt,as can add to proof relationship,is that make sense?

Good luck

I think it could be better in a way NOT to have it! You can tell the consular officer you're just saving money towards your future married life in the US :-)

If you're still overly concerned about the ring thing, then go buy a $20 dollar ring.

Well.....i doubt the interviewing consular will expect a ring!

offering to give the CO a ring might actually be seen as bribery i think

If the beneficiary is the fiance (male) he's not likely to be wearing an engagement ring so I don't see it as relevant.

The engagement party photos may well have more to do with the fact that there were other family in the photos, showing they approved of and witnessed the couple were together. If you follow the guides and take sufficient proof of an ongoing relationship, then you've got it covered.

We weren't asked, but my wife was wearing it for the interview and we had the receipt with us just in case..

was anybody approved for their visa without an engagement ring? i just want to have a wedding ring when we get married. due to economic situtaions i cant afford an engagement ring.

My wife never had and still does no thave an "engagement ring" She has a wedding ring we bought after she arrived here. No ring required.

We were approved in Manila on Friday. They did not ask about a ring. Had no engagement ring. Did have a silver eternity ring that was given as a gift early in our relationship as well as a silver heart necklace. She wares both all the time. Neither one was over $30 usd.

Swordfish,... get a ring from the gumball machine ;-) (25 cents)
