If it looks like you’re already married, then yes.   Married people are not eligible for K-1s.

You are going to know better your own culture of what people considered married or what looks like marriage, but any any any kind of marriage (cultural, religious, legal, etc.) counts as being married and will disqualify you from using the K-1. People in this forum often warn about having "engagement" ceremonies that look too much like marriage. If you are doing typical engagement party things that your country generally recognizes as engagement and not a marriage, you are usually fine. But if you do things that your cultural generally associate with marriage, and you just claim that it is for engagement, that is where there is trouble. 

 

For example, in the US if we did an "engagement party" but we exchanged rings, that would look like a marriage that was simply dressed up as an engagement party.
