Engagement Ring

[Redlove76 28]

Is it really necessary to show proof of an engagement ring?

Not a requirement, but we did.

Thank-you!

I dont think this going to goive them solid reason for your relation, but other things are important to show on going and past conversations. Take always you never know what they ask or will like...

I don't think it's a requirement, there are plenty of other things you can bring as evidence of your relationship.

My fiancee wore her engagement ring to the interview, but I'm not sure the consulate officer even noticed. She was approved with no problem.

I don't have an engagement ring, never wanted one and wasn't asked about it

Not a requirement, I didn't give her one.

Engagement rings are nothing more than a marketing device for retailers to sell more diamonds. Wedding rings are a lot more important, if you are into this stuff to begin with. Take her on a really great honeymoon instead.

My fiancee was never asked to show her engagement ring

Not a requirement, but it probably helps. My fiancee didn't wear one, and she told the officer that we were waiting to buy a better quality ring in the US with better warranty terms.

Just a note though - even though I say it's not a requirement, you should check with other people that have gone through the same embassy as your future spouse is going to head to. There's some embassies out there that have crazy demands on proof of a relationship. Really, any question that you ask about the interview process should be directed at someone who has gone through it already at your specific embassy. You're just going to get a broad generalized answers here. It's unfortunate that the embassies sometimes work differently from others and not consistently everywhere in the world, but it does happen.

Now that is money well spent.
