Hello all! I have a question concerning the best and absolute valid route for my case. First off I am a Muslim so arranged marriages are common in my culture as well. I have an uncle whom I have known since I was very little introduced me to a niece of his and no she is not my cousin I just call him uncle. I am a US citizen and I have been talking to her for 4 weeks now and we seem to be on the same page concerning what we want. I am planning on visiting in about a month. I placed my dowry already but due to our tradition we cannot date before marriage. Should I marry when visiting this coming month and get a marriage certificate or just do the k1 since I have done my dowry. If I choose the k1 route what evidence do I need to produce and if spousal what evidence will I need to produce. Please share your inputs thanks in advance.
