Long Wait Times and Foreign Weddings

[clairegie 265]

What i'd like to know what is the distinction between having a farewell party to traditional wedding to a point where it can get you denied?

Me and My Fiance would like to have a farewell event in his Home Country, nothing official but i will be wearing a traditional dress just for the hell of it and i was wondering if it puts our status in any kind of Danger?

The distinction would be that it is not customary to wear a wedding dress to a farewell party. I'm worried for you. It's simply just too risky.

Many of the cases I've seen where this happened were due to ignorance on the effect that such behavior would have on the visa process. People did what they thought was best, was customary to that country, not knowing how it would look like later on. Even though CO's supposedly are to take local customs into account, the fact is many simply don't.

And to add.....and to the lack of realization early in the relationship process that international dating and immigration to the US and the need to abide by those rules, requires a relationship to be conducted differently than "normal".

Would my wife had liked to first be married with a big ceremony in her country....yes for sure.

Did she and I realize this would not be possible, yes, early on.

Did we discuss this....yes.

Did we discuss this with our family and friends.....yes.

Was everyone in full agreement with our plans....no.

Did they still support us and only want what was best for us.....yes.......we both have great families and friends.
