Cousin marriage (Egypt)

[livetolove 2]

If you "don't know how it works," why are you confusing the issue? Engagement parties are obviously engagement parties - the lack of a white wedding gown in pictures being the most obvious tell-all.

OP, to answer your question, you should be fine.

W alf mabrook!

I wonder why you attack Sarah and Adnan, coz they have no any issues against any one, but, as a VJ member, he or she is trying to help.

Please let's respect the opinion of all VJ members.

I wasn't attacking anyone. I was stating the obvious.

And, as for you, are you the forum police?

Agreed... Egyptian engagement parties are the cultural norm, the CO should be aware of that. In most cases the actual marriage is so much more low-key than the engagement! I don't think any kind of proof is necessary to prove that they aren't married. As for the cousin marriages, as long as it is recognized in Egypt (which it is) and in the state that you will be residing in (which it is) then you shouldn't have any problems, other than the potential for the CO to be squeamish about it from his/her own personal opinion. It is somewhat taboo to marry your first cousin according to popular US norms so you may need to address that at the interview. I believe another VJer that went through Morocco had to deal with this during her fiancé's immigration, I can't remember what her user name is anymore, but her name is Kenza.

if the country (Vietnam) does not recognize cousin marriage but the state in which I will be residing approves of the cousin marriage, will this be an issue with the consulate?

I think it best you pose this question in the right regional forum. Other Vietnam members may be able to advise you better.
