Hello Everyone!!

Me & my fiance met in August 2012 in India. After 10 days of his vacation he went back to US. Since then we were communicating over phone, e-mails, chatting. Finally in December 2012, he proposed me over a phone & we decided to take our relationship to the next level. (This happened while he was in US & me in India) So he applied for K1 visa in the month of January. Now he is planning to come for a vacation in April 2013 & we intend to have a small engagement ceremony with our closed ones. My question is, whether having a engagement ceremony after applying for K1 visa will affect the process? Do we have to take any extra care while arranging the ceremony? Need suggestions...

No problem at all... According to Brazil Consulate, you could even get married, but RELIGIOUS ceremony ONLY!

As an example, I'm having my engagement lunch on March 29th. He is coming down to Brazil... But we could get married and that would be ok, since the wedding ceremony was just religious!!!

Hi dear,

Your Bf filed for K-1 Petition in US and now you guys are doing small get togther (like ceremony), that sounds okay... it wont create any issue. but remember while interview you have to tell the truth always.. if they ask about any date of engagement etc.

Also start collecting as many as proofs you can collect because its only 8-9 month relation... US Embassy probably look into more evidences at the time of interview. Start collecting all emails, letters, facebook log, photos of boths, air ticket, family photos etc.

Best of luck for your journey!!!
