I'm starting to think that the fiance visa might be a little mismatched to OP's expectations

I got all of your points. In the Middle East, everything is so different than even Europe. I have to make a decision this week about which application should I pick whether a Fiance or Spouse visa.
I can not wait and I have faith that a Fiance Visa might be better and faster. I understand the consequences of it too.
I wish it was not that hard for US citizens.

I am also concerned that the council/embassy in my county may ask for this contract "engagement contract" since it is very popular to have an engagement agreement/contract.

Is this contract you mention a nikah nama?

You have met formally face to face so either K1 or CR1 is fully credible

 

Also understand that now the K1  process takes as long as CR1

and  K1 with AOS in US and further ROC is more expensive

I opt for CR1 personally

 

Are there any red flags that would concern the CO?

Take a look at the site below and if any red flag issues are there,  I would marry,   do the CR1 ,  spend as much time together as possible to prove the relaitonship as bona fida marriage

Hello,

How can I prove that I am single and I can marry? I can not find anything in the United States of America to provide the marital status of being single. Did anyone face that?

Where are you planning to get married?  Were you married before, and now a widower, or divorcé?

Ok.  Who is asking you to prove that you are single and free to marry?

Me and being American to my family girl.

I do not understand what you mean. 

 

There is no "proof" available for what you want in the US.  If you are abroad, and it is required, you can look up the local embassy page and they'll explain how to produce proper evidence in that country.  

In France, for example, it is found under What is a « certificat de coutumes » and “certificat de célibat”? on this page

Can I post pictures of me and my Fiance Visa where we are home or with very light clothes? Are there any restrictions on pictures? or what to show and what not to show?

Thank you.
If I put intimate pictures, they may think we are married not engaged. Am I right?
Such as pictures of us cuddling in front of the TV or in the bathtub.

They don't care about age, as long as both are adults and the relationship is bona fide.
