Wedding plans question during K1 visa interview

[Rinyuki 0]

Hey guys. Me and my fiance had made wedding plans, but we only talked about it through chat and phone calls. We have no official documents yet, that means no wedding invitations yet, and we haven't made an agreement with venues, officiants, etc. We're planning to do that once I get to the US.

 

If the CO asked me if me and my fiance made wedding plans already, should I say yes, and if they asked for proof, is it acceptable to show just the screenshots of us talking about it? Or should I say no?

When I had my interview, the consulate officer asked what my wedding plans were and I answered honestly -- that we haven't really been able to plan much due to the uncertainty of the K1 timeline, but that we were planning on having it at city hall with some close family members and friends in attendance. She didn't ask for any further information or proof, and I was approved.

 

Since this visa makes it very difficult to plan anything, I don't think they really expect you to provide concrete evidence of a venue or wedding invitations. If they ask what your wedding plans are, being able to describe what you guys are thinking of should be satisfactory, but it wouldn't hurt to bring along screenshots. Sounding unsure of your answer, or saying something like "oh we haven't really thought about it, we'll just figure it out when I get there" would likely seem suspicious.

This is pretty much what I replied back with. Told the CO as soon as we can book a JP we would get married.

You are obligated to tell the truth whatever the truth is.
