  If the OP is from a country where engagements are seen as too married for a K1 they won't have to worry about the wedding they will be having , they will be declared no eligible for a k1 .  They stated they included engagement photos.  

you think they will see the engagement party like a wedding? we provided photos with our families and other people who were invited. This is what I am mostly worried about. We can cancel the wedding and wait for K1 approved ,if they don't approve it we will be wasting our time which is the most important in all this journey. 

Thank you everyone, realized we have only two options : cancel the wedding or fly back get married and apply for cr1 ( which I wonder if that will look supsicious in the eye of consular, why did we change the forms) has anyone else here have the same experience? would be very helpful.

If you really want to get married in your home country, have the USC withdraw the K1 and apply for a CR-1. 

Thanks a lot

Depends on your idea of "party". 

 

If your idea of "party" is just going out to a nice dinner to celebrate over a meal together, or a night out on the town drinking with friends as a sort of bon voyage gathering----yeah, no real problem.

 

If your idea of "party" includes decorations, exchange of rings, cultural wear, photos, an officiant presiding over any type of religious ceremony/prayers---big problem.

 

Always better to cancel any sort of engagement party plans and have a reception in your home country AFTER marrying in the US.

 

The fact that you've referred to your party plans as a "wedding" twice in your post leads me to advise you to cancel your plans.

Yes it will be with exchange rings ,photos and cultural wear .etc

We also had a big engagement party and we provided some of our photos in our aplication, Will it be a problem to even get the case approved? Because we can cancel the wedding but we are not 100% sure we will get approved. It will be a big waste of time and money. 

Hello everyone,  I am new here and I really need some advise from your experiences. So we have applied for k1 visa and are waiting for our noa2 which is supposed to come in few months meanwhile have planned our wedding in May, everything is set up , not an official wedding just a party with our loved ones. But I've been reading here other people who say that is to risky for the embassy even though we will have the wedding after I get the visa. What should I do? Cancell the wedding ?or applay for spousal visa?
