CAN SHORT TIME IN MARRIAGE AFFECT CO DECISION

[LIB09 0]

HI, I AM NEWBIE, I AM VERY GLAD TO COME ACROSS THIS SITE; IT HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. I JUST READ A POST FROM A MEMBER ASKING IF THE LENGTH OF COURTSHIP AFFECT CO DECISION. IN MY CASE I AM A NEWLYWED, I met my husband through a family friend, we started communicating via phone and emails at the end of October 2008. The long distance relationship was getting very serious, I wanted to be sure that I do not invest lot of energy and time into a person that I have not met. By the Grace of God, as RN, I had an opportunity to travel to Nigeria in January of 2009 on a medical conference. Fortunately for me, during my busy scheduled, I found time to meet Mark (my husband) in person. We had time to get to know each other well, we are both compatible. We both want the same things out of life, such as family, kids, stability, and careers. In the short time we met, I find Mark to be very honest and trustworthy, I feel I can trust him and depend on him, and vice versa. On January 14, 2009, Mark and I legalized the relationship and became husband and wife. I am back home, in 2/09 I file for both I130 and I129F; I received the first notice for both. Therefore, I would like to know if the short TIME getting to know each other; leading to marriage affects CO DECISION

if you are legally married then K-1 does not apply to you. Go and read through the CR-1 guide to assist you.

Best of luck.

From what I have read from others, yes it does. The common advice is to build an extra strong case with as much evidence as you are able to gather. At least one more visit would be highly advised, along with sworn statements from relatives, such as yours and his parents. Emails, telephone logs, any shared bills, etc. would all be recommended as well.

All the best!

The single short visit will not impact petition approval but you will be wise to visit once or twice more and for longer if possible before the interview. This all goes to show a genuine ongoing marital relationship with your spouse. It's critical to any family visa process but particularly so when the foreign national is coming from a high fraud country. Anecdotally, there are "high fraud" countries and then there's Lagos. Strap in for an exciting ride.
