The How we met questions

[jandk 6]

Hello- I am new to the forums,

I have a question when it regards the question "How did you meet," in the immigration interview. I met my wife through my best friend of 10years+ he is married to one of her sisters that was adobted and brought into the US at a very young age.. of course now she is 22. Me and my wife started to talk about 2 1/2 years ago as friends and then things blossomed to us getting married.

When it comes down to the question and if we give them the answer of "We met through his friend who is married to my sister in the US," is that setting us up for a skeptical response to "Did you get married for immigration reasons."

I feel honesty is the best policy but @ the same time I dont want to raise an eye brow. We have a child due in June 2010, so I mean there are ties with us to show that it isnt just about immigrating as to why we got married. Any opinions. Thanks

Tell the truth.

I met Umit because a friend that works in the same company as I has a niece that married her brother - we started talking and the rest is history

Yeah, just tell the truth. It's hard to hide/cover your body language when you're being evasive or untruthful about something, and I'm sure they're trained to pick up on the signs. Good luck!

you're absolutely right! honesty is the best policy.

besides they would not see your getting married as a means to migrate fast because you've known each other for over 2 years, plus you have a baby on the way to prove that.

so relax, god bless and congratultions!

The purpose of an interview is to obtain accurate and complete information from the subject and to make a determination regarding the subject's credibility. The fundamental objective is to obtain the facts necessary to make a correct decision.

Be sincere and honest. if your marriage is authentic you should do fine. Remember it's the 'totality that counts', not just one part of the petition.

Moving to Embassy and Consulate forum from DCF as this is not a DCF matter, the OP has filed for a K3 and not DCF, and the matter at hand is dealt with at the consulate stage.
