Hi,

My husband and I both agreed that we just don't care about a wedding ring--it's our love that counts. Also I really hate the feeling of rings.

Will this be an issue (I know it's not for K-1) for the CR-1 visa interview? Can my husband (who will go to the interview alone) tell them this reason, that we don't believe in rings and tradition? Or should we say something like that we want to wait until he's in the US to save up for nice rings? I'm just worried that they won't believe him and think that it's a lie.

Thanks.

Shouldn't be an issue. Just say the truth if they ask. Very unlikely they will.

Wow, so fast, everyone, thanks! I feel glad that they really don't care, and I don't have to buy some cheap ring just for show at the interview.

Just tell them the truth. I figure they only care about the actual relationship and not all that conventional stuff, per se. Plus, anyone can stage a wedding with some rings. It's the essence of the relationship that they're looking for.

I am the beneficiary.

Sept 14th 2012: Started Relationship (visited each other 20+ times since then)

May 1st – Aug 31st 2013: J1 Stay in US

Jan 30th, 2014: Married in VA!

Feb 11th, 2014: Back in Montreal

USCIS Journey

Feb 13th, 2014: Sent I-130 packet overnight (delayed by DC storm)
