i have a question about using the promise ring my boyfriend gave me as an engagement ring. Do I need to show pics of an engagement ceremony if the ring is used as an engagement ring?

I would be very hesitant to show USCIS/DOS any pictures of a 'ceremony' (engagement or otherwise). This makes them sometimes wonder if it wasn't an engagement celebration at all, but was instead some kind of legal ceremony - making you ineligible for a fiance/e visa.

An engagement ring is no requirement for a fiance/e visa - we didn't have one (like many others) and were approved with no problem.

i know when i did the interview, they didn't really take not of that.. but I had a ring though and all our photos were just photos of us together. If you have photos with family, have him bring that along too

Unless you are from a country where such things are customary (Viet Nam for example) you do not need either. DO NOT let your fiance know about your boyfriend, there are no girlfriend visas.
