interview at consulate

[tweety&irv 5]

my fiance and i are planning to have an engagement party, reason being that we are worried about really proving that we are engaged so we plan to take alot of pictures of family and friends cause we thought would be good and also to officially get engaged with ring and all. just want to know if this is a good idea and if this is neccessary.

If they think it is a wedding from looking at the pictures and not a party they can deny you because they believe you to be married. Be careful.

Proof of engagement is not required. Proving that you have a legitimate relationship and not for visa fraud purposes is required.

Having a party does not do anything towards proof of a relationship. Buying a ring is also no proof. Have the party but be warned that it, of itself, is not proof of anything but you like to throw a party.

It depends on the country. Fiance participation in a traditional engagement ceremony (Dam Hoi) is almost a neccesity with the consulate in Viet Nam.

Not sure if that applies in your particular situation, but others saying that engagement ceremonies are not important as a blanket statement is misleading.

Thanks for pointing this out, si man. The OP should read the "Embassy Info" and "Reviews: Embassy" for the Kingston embassy, and also search through the Jamaican threads in the Latin America/Caribbean regional subforum.
