Yes paro,it is registered. 

Nikah was done as registered in january (as u know how nikah without rukhsati are done)

Then attorney suggested us k1 (#######), we filed it. And we did rukhsati(actual wedding ceremony) in march. Ds160 was filed in july and in that we hided the fact we were married. Now what is the solution to all this. Even if i apply cr1,i get charged with visa fraud. Solution?

As has been mentioned I 601 waiver for MisRep.

Yes i will. But my problem persists, wouldnt it provide them documentary evidence against me if i show my nikah paper of january, wouldnt they charge me with visa fraud at first instance? Though i can explain that nikah was just a religious way of commitment. And yes ds160 was mispresented. Solution to that?

really good and probably really expensive attorney

The moment you signed the Nikah you were married under Islamic law and in the eyes of USCIS. Your only option is a spousal visa. Id anyone tells you anything different they don't know what they're talking about. I was married in Jordan, the moment I signed the Nikah I was married. Period. End of story. It does not matter that custom is that you are not "officially married" until you have a wedding party. The Nikah is a legal marriage contact.

i always wondered why people, especially from muslim majority countries (or of the islamic faith) had the idea that NIKAH is nothing legal....

The issue here is the ambiguity of your marriage. No one knows, or has not said, how U.S. law looks at Nikah. There is a cultural barrier here. Western marriage seems to be different from the act that you engaged in. It all depends on how Nikah is seen to uscis or the consulate. Is it legal marriage to them, or is it symbolical? I am not sure how to answer your questions with a definitive yes or not. I'd try to get in contact with the people who make the decision if its fraud or not if I was you. 

And who are those people? If you say attorney, then we were put on the wrong track to apply for k1 by an attorney too, despite we had done nikah and could have easily applied for cr1 and got it in hand by now

Many islamic extremist people use nikah paper to fulfil their lust only. For them, its like a photocopy. They fool innocent ladies, get them in nikah, and dump after using. For their nikah not being registered doesnt carry any worth in the eyes of law.

US consulates are knowledgeable regarding regional customs, religious practices, and they base these decisions on such.

The one who made us apply k1 is one of the top immig. Attorney in newyork. His office is in the city.

 

I think his intention was to get me in the usa at earliest. Our mistake was to show such photos which made CO believed we were married which we actually were 

 

Truly a photo tells 100 stories.problem here was choice of photos. 

The solution in my mind is to remarry in recent dates but i dont know what will happen for the previous registered marriage then. So confused.

well to those people, no laws matter - they will use an abuse anything that they think would allow them to get away with - including domestic violence etc. 

 

for the practicing (muslims) ones, they should know better

if that attorney is one of the best, you have issues.

 

no attorney worth his salt would advise you to LIE to immigration.

just apply for CR 1 and deal with any bans later (should you get slapped with a ban)

You can legally have only one marriage at a time.  Either you are already married...or you are not.......

Even if you have not showed the pictures and managed somehow to get into the US, later on they could catch on that you had a religious marriage, then married after and youd get your immigration benefits stripped away anyway

Ofcourse. A true muslim will never do that.

But when you applied for a K1 didn’t you know its for a fiancée visa? Forget the Nikah, but even after doing the Nikah why would you decide to get married while your paper are being processed?
