Hi
My fiancee applied for this lottery for the first time in 2004 and has been applying each year since then , we met in 2010 , then in 2012 he added me as his spouse on his application, no ceremony was done but he paid the bridal price then , the agent we applied through sent us 2 different confirmation numbers one for my husband and one for me but using the same usafis account number then my confirmation was picked in the lottery and our custom marriage is in the next 2 weeks meaning the marriage date on the marriage certificate from the government will be a recent date after the announcing of results , but he added me on his application in 2012, what proof would they need to show that we have been married traditionally (bridal price) and only getting the custom certificate now , do we have chances in getting this or there will be some complications , one good thing is we have the proof of when he added me to his application wont that be enough proof , and we have been travelling together for holidays our passports can prove that we have been together long before the lottery results were sent out and this marriage wont be a fake one , please advise how to go about this as we need to fill in application forms and send them through but dont know what date to write on the forms for marriage the date of when he paid the bridal price or should rather wait for the customery certificate and put in that date and send the forms , will appreciate your help and advices in this . we really stressing out
