Yes he paid the lobola only. I'm sure you're aware that here you  can't ask the parents of your bride for a white wedding without paying that. 

Thank you so much everyone. You really opened my mind. 

We didn't know they is such .It's bad for us then because for us to marry here in my country he must have almost 2months of leave days which he can't get since he is a truck driver. The process of marrying a foreigner is also very long here. My government is also very sensitive about the issue, since they discovered fraudulent marriage of investors who didn't want to pay taxes. 

After he asked a number of questions which I answered correctly. He said I want to give you the visa but do you have proof that you will get married within 3months. I didn't know what he wanted because  we gave every evidence to prove that we are real. Maybe it's only in Zimbabwe where they want that kind of proof  🤷‍♂️.

Thanks you so much. Last time he denied me for that reason saying I didn't have proof that I was going to wed. Everything else was okay. Culturally we are married, he paid the bride price which is a requirement in my culture. 

We already have our I129 approved and this is our second application. The  last time they said we didn't have prove that will get married within 3months ,yet we had plans to do a court wedding. I can't be there to plan things and yet he hardly have time. My question is there anything from the court house that we can have signed to prove that we will surely wed. Right now we have honey moon receipts which we paid for but I feel it's not enough. To those who did court wedding how did you deal with it at the K1 VISA interview.

If you are going the K1 route, you must be unmarried when applying to the consulate. When already in the USA you are free to marry in whichever official manner you like. For instance, my fiance and I are planning a court house marriage as soon as possible, ideally within the 1st week after POE. Maybe a small reception afterwards if we feel like it. If you have a true marriage and follow with adding you to his insurance plan, opening a joint account etc, whichever is intended to make you a happy and cared for new wife, it will be more sufficient than a fancy wedding. 

Hie everyone. My fiance and I plan to do a court house wedding ,is there anyone who tried it here and how did you prove that its genuine at the consulate. He is a truck driver and he doesn't have much time to be planning things.
