Hi,
My Company is applying L1A Blanket for me. My interview date is by January at Chennai(India) Consulate. Iam planning to apply L2 for my husband. But our marriage is after 4 months. We are planning to register our marriage before January.

Is marriage certificate alone enough to obtain L2 Visa or marriage photos are a must.
If marriage photos are must, then should we postpone our L2 Visa stamping after april.

Please Advise.Thanks in Advance

All you need is an official marriage certificate. I never heard of a request for photos...confused
Make sure that your marriage licence/certificate is available in English (OFFICIAL TRANSLATION!!!!) that's it.
Your husband will be able to get an EAD after getting the L-2 which is great if he wants to apply for residency.

Good Luck! And of course congratulations on your marriage!!!

Thanks a lot for the response.

The information given in the website of US Consulate says that marriage photos are required

What if someone doesnt follow any marriage rituals and gets only registered. In that case photos are not possible.

Please Advice

OK Kartick, I am sorry. You might be right, I don't the answer.
I am on an L-2 and I did not have to present a marriage photo, only the marriage certificate... It is also true that I got married here in the States and I am originally from Europe so the customs in India or the requirements for Indian citizens might be different. I am really sorry that I can't be more helpful. You might need to call the embassy to clarify the situation.
I hope you can solve this issue.

Best of luck!
