[sana001 0]

Hi,

I got my nikah done 24th of september and my wedding was on 27th of September. If they ask me at the interview when did I get married, what should I say? 24th or 27th?

And I don't have any pics for my nikah.

Thank you.

I believe it should be date of nikah as that date will be on nikah namah.

Give USCIS the date mentioned in Nika nama, wedding ceremony can be happened later that is understandable. And they will never ask you the date of ceremony except interview (there is a bit possibility).

Asslam you must have wedding pics if the nikkah was all male the consulate doe not care about that event. They care about the wedding event so you must mention the wedding date and you MUST have pictures of you and your spouse together and it would be better that if possible if the pictures have date marks on them. you should have couple pics of you two with the family and at other places you traveled together believe me I have read a lot of reviews of Pakistan consulate and they are tough so the more strong evidence you show of a couple the easier your life will be. Believe me my wife failed her interview for not having pictures so if you do not have good pictures of you two together then do not bother applying until you have it

In our case our Nikah happened on 1-31-12. Our wedding reception from bride (Rukhsati) side happened on 2-1-12 and Groom Reception (Valima) on 2-3-12.

We did mentioned date of marriage 1-31-12 on I-130(When we signed the marriage certificate AKA Nikah Nama with witnesses signatures from both sides).

Technically, on I-130 application I stated date 2-1-12 on Question 21 in which you have to give address and dates from - to where you both (husbands & wife) live together. Because Rukhsati (Bride Reception) was happened on 2-1-12 and we all know very well in our culture that Bride don't live with husband until Rukhsati done.

When we registered our marriage with NADRA (Marriage Registration Certificate) they also stated date of marriage as 1-31-12 the day when we signed the Marriage papers with witnesses signatures.

In ISL, the US Embassy very well knows the difference between Nikah and Rukhsati and in few cases they did asked in the interview to the beneficiary if the Rukhsati has been done or not.

In our case we don't have Nikah photos as we don't think about it but we do have photos & video of Wedding ceremony for both receptions.

Our case still at NVC for a final review and still waiting for the Interview date. Let see what comes out later...

Respected Members!

In my case my Nikkah was on 30-April-2010 thats what we mentioned in I-130, but Wedding Ceremony was in 23-March-2011.

On top of that i do have all the pics like Nikkah, Heena, Wedding Reception, Valima & honeymoon. So kindly advice me what should i say if CO will ask about the wedding date? if ill say my wedding was in 2010 and reception was in 2011 ( is that a issue???). Plus my baby was born in US couple of months ago and he is USC is that beneficial for me show them his Birth certificate and passport copies?

Your reply will be appreciated.

Regards,

Kashj

I got married on may 2013, I am permanent resident of united states and on the travel documents till march 2014. I got filled the i130 form, biography forms, got nikkah nama. My questions are

1. Do I have to fill the i130 with the spouse name after the nikah?
2. Is there any extra documents required to file f2a visa?
