so me and my fiancee are not legally married in any way shape or from, however we have a mock/religious only wedding in the Philippines so her family had a wedding to attended to. My fiancee was the first born and the first to get married and I did not like the idea of her family not having a wedding to go to her us. 

 

I feel mixed about using the photos as proof of our relationship. I feel like it could cause confusion and it would be better to not include it. I guessing if we label it right  and make it clear it was a mock wedding, rehearsal weeding or something it would be ok.

 

what are your thoughts ?

Don't do it.  Never submit ambiguous evidence to immigration authorities.   Appearing "too married for a K-1" is a real thing.

You should not do any mock wedding.  We thought about doing that but I saw on social media people getting denied for doing that so we withdrew and just did a CR-1.  If they have any suspicions that you are married, they will deny you.  Wait until green card, then go back and do the mock wedding later.

Wow, just wow.

 

Marry properly and go the CR1 route.
