No wedding photo as proof

[SusDan7 2]

Dear Folks,

Need an advice desperately here!!

Me as beneficiary and my wife who is LPR currently in US registered our marriage in Local marriage registrar back Oct 2013, As we are both living abroad and due to the holiday season we are unable to make a wedding reception during that moment.

All we have is our marriage certificate & relationship certificate duly certified by ministry of foreign affairs, air tickets to home of last year Oct, family & friends photographs with her and her recent trip to UAE ,Visit visa copy, air tickets, hotel reservation, photographs etc..

However, we don't have any wedding pictures , does it impact our refusal on USCIS and at the time of interview.

Your opinion will be highly appreciated.

Regards

SusDan

I did not send any wedding pictures to USCIS whatsoever, in fact, I did not send any pictures to USCIS at all. There were no photographs in our evidence folder. Now in the hindsight, it seems kinda stupid thing to do, but at that time we did not know any better. But we had other solid evidences such as our apartment leases together and affidavit from one of our close friends who went to university with us and who knew us very well.

So, gather whatever you have and send it over, get some affidavits from friends and family regarding your relationship, that counts a lot. At the consulate stage, they might ask you for wedding pictures, but then again they might not. If you have enough peripheral evidence, the wedding ceremony itself is not such a huge deal, although they are gong to ask you the reason for a civil wedding. Answering honestly is always the best policy, because not everyone gets to have a big fancy wedding, many people have many constraints such as finances, distance, living at different places and not having enough time or money to arrange a big fat wedding etc.

Good luck, you will be fine. Whatever evidence you have, make sure they are string evidences and arranged nicely with description etc.

I meant "strong", not "string" evidences, above :-)
