Generally most would say on here any sort of traditional/engagement or what ever kind of part/celebration should be avoided because these have often led to getting denied.

 

Don't do a party or anything. Just plan to go back later on after you've married here in the US and gotten AP with the AOS, then do a celebration/ceremony there.

I am not sure about Pakistan but in Malaysia, nikah is the solemnization of marriage for the Muslims. It is an actual marriage. If it means and is the same thing in Pakistan, you really should not do it because you will very likely be denied by the officer. Some members on here have mentioned that consulate/embassy officers are familiar with the local culture and customs so beware. 

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

For you to be in Pakistan to bring her over or attending the interview with her is not an issue. The issue would be if you went through any ceremonies or processes that may be deemed "married".

Thank you for the feedback guys. Is it safer for me not to go to Pakistan to bring her to US to avoid any complications for interview or entry to USA?

Going there is fine, just avoid having anything that could be called a ceremony. You can always go back and have one after the legal paperwork in the US is out of the way. You're almost there!

Its actually better if you go to Pakistan and attend the visa interview with her. But when it comes to Nikah that will be considered as marriage and will jeopardize your K1 Visa.

 

Anything else. Pm me
