Interview Q

[MrsBruce5 0]

Hi ...

Seems I have gotten to know some of you, and your all such great supportive folks, as we're all in this together-so, here my dilemma-it may seem trivial-but it concerns us...

We're filing a CR1, his interview (God willing) will be in London, hoping for late June/July...

Anyway, Mr. Bruce and I met each other 4 years ago on an advice board. It was quite frankly a "sex advice board", which seemed to be more of a joke than a sex board...

Over the past 4 years we became GREAT, GREAT friends, and our relationship was one based on a very respectable friendship which was cultivated for 2 years before we actually met.

When the Mr. and I met, I was still married to my ex, although our actual meeting in the UK was nothing more than a holiday with my friend and his family (mum, dad, sister, and B-I-L)

Whilst I was there, there was undeniable chemistry. I recogized this, came home immediately and filed for divorce...

Now, this entire thing seems sordid, although truthfully it was not anything like that...

I am left wondering (as I have since Mr. Bruce and I decided that we were meant to be together) what exactly the adjucating officer will ask regarding the circumstances of the beginning of our relationship and how we met. The whole thing is a wee bit embarassing although nothing could be further from the truth. The relationship had always been quite respectable. I am however, concerned as how far they will delve into our past, and if we will be judged as adulturous deviants !!!

I KNOW we must be honest, but I'd like to keep the honesty as general as possible.

Any graduates of London care to share the types of q's they were asked? Just how personal do they get???

Thanks in Advance !

yes, being honest is fine but that doesn't mean you gotta tell him your life story.

You were friends before, then you fell in love. At what point you decided you wanted a divorce is irrelevant, I think.

It is unfortunately true that us foreign spouses and USC who have foreign spouses have to defend ourselves and our choices.

Keep it as brief as possible, just tell them the facts and don't lie.

But they don't need your timeline.

Thanks Angel...

The whole actual thing is quite funny reading my post from last night...

I was just really concerned as to what kind of dates they would be looking for, and was thinking about just how far they would go with details...and what kind of judgement (if any) would be formed due to my answers.

Thanks for the info !

Much appreciated.

You don't need to tell them every minute details. As long as you married legally and married after your divorce was final, you will be fine. Maybe tell them that you guys were friends and later you fell in love.

i agree with simple_male... besides you guys are already married.. NOT filing for the K1 fiance so you probably won't be faced with as many questions (if any at all based on others experiences) about the how when and why of your relationship... Crash's interview is Tuesday Rose so I (or he) will post as soon as we can and let you know what they asked... According to Amanda (Euro) they basically just asked her if everything she sent in was true and accurate and that was it. So I think all of in the CR1 may (emphasize MAY) not have to go thru all of the questions the fiances do...

Cool. I kind of thought so too, but my husband was getting a bit worried.

Thanks Cari.

All the best to Crash & Crash Jr. for their interview !
