Wedding celebration pictures for AOS interview

[Andz 1]

Hello everyone,

well i have a question to you guys:

we did not have a big wedding ceremony here, we just had a small civil ceremony (with two friends of my husband).. but we did have a big wedding celebration (not official wedding of course, just celebration) in turkey, and my husband's parents also came to turkey for this celebration. well this was 1,5 months before my k1 interview, and i did not mention anything about this celebration in my interview because i was afraid maybe the officer might misunderstand this celebration and think like we had an official wedding .. so should i take my wedding celebration pictures to my aos interview, does it cause any misunderstanding for the IO? if you don't suggest that, i have only one picture from my civil ceremony here, and we also had a reception last month in my father in law's house, and i have a lot of pictures from that one too.. so what should i do? any suggestions?

Because your celebration was in Turkey before you came to US and got married they are irrelevant. Your civil ceremony here is whats important the real wedding ceremony and if you had a party at your father in laws to celebrate your wedding then yeah take some pics not a lot. Just your civil wedding pic and party at father in laws . Sounds like you had a wonderful celebration.

At our AOS interview, the IO wasn't the least bit interested in our wedding pictures. We had a small wedding here in the US with family and friends, and have tons of pictures, but they were not important to the person interviewing us. He was focused on evidence we brought regarding commingled finances, like evidence of our joint bank account, insurance, etc. I would put your focus on gathering solid primary evidence and not worry so much about pictures.
