H4 traditional marriage dates different from registered date

[Kansuph]

Hi Friends,

Here is my situation and I need your suggestions as early as possible...

Am in h1 visa and I have filed h4 for my husband. Due to personal problem, we have registered our marriage on April 10, 2011 with the help of our friends. After five years, on January 25, 2016 we have convinced our parents and married traditionally.
Also, I have registered my record as 'single' status when I apply for my h1 a year ago.

Will there be any issues in the PAI interview?
Can we explain this whole thing to the officer? Or can we lie them that our traditional marriage also happened on 2011?

Please suggest the best options.. Thank you

Never lie to immigration officers. What date is on the marriage certificate?

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thank you.. certificate date is on April 10, 2011

Then the only concern I see is if officer asks for marriage photos. You can show the 2016 photos and explain.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
