MrHopeful2013 got a reaction from sara..... in K1 Filed, can we do a wedding ceramony and not register it?
Do not do it, do not even think about it. A religious marriage in India is considered legal for all practical purposes, whether or not its registered:

US Consulate in India is conducting investigations more frequently now because many people are opting for K-1 because they think its faster than IR/CR-1. They are also aware that in Hindu traditions sending a girl away before marriage is generally not considered acceptable, so they are being even more thorough with the K-1's now.
I urge you to dismiss the idea, the outcome could potentially be disastrous. Google Marc Ellis and read his articles regarding a refused K-1 and how it could possibly lead time to a lifetime ban.
