I-129F question 19

[zackandrivi 0]

I have read a lot of information here about this topic but have not seen any specifics on how people are answering the question. I met my fiance on latinamericancupid.com in Feb `06. Is it recommended that I answer yes or no to question 19 on the I-129F? I appologize if this has been answered previously.

Thanks

I guess you'd have to make your own decision, based on the definition of a MB brought by IMBRA and how the site you used works. From what I've read, people who were not sure whether to answer yes or no, tended to answer yes and explain the reasons why they gave such an answer.

The second most difficult question on this forum. Answered millions of times but not one of us can say for certain. I answered yes as I know many others have...with an explaination and contact information. They MAY be exempted, but I wouldnt take the chance and make it look like I was hiding something. Best to be as open and honest as you can.........all my opinion, but I have talked to a few others that drew the same conclusion.

BTW: The first most difficult question is 'when will the CSC start approving us!' hehe
