k1 introduced by parents

[t and k 5]

hello everyone .

me and my fiance were introduced to each other by our parents n then we started chatting for 2 months then we started talking on the phone for like once in 3 days for 2 months then we decided to meet n then she came to ind we met liked each other n decided to get engaged on july 21st .. then again we were talkin for 3 months on the phone for like 2-3 hrs everyday n almost 10-12hrs on the weekends .. n then we filed our k1 petition in november ..

my and her parents both live in the us .. my parents live in the us from last one yr . but our parents knew each other since 4 yrs .

so my question is getting introduced to each other by our parents is a good thing or a bad thing for our visa procedure ??

thank you !!

MAKE sure you keep all evidences & record of all those phone/chating records. As much records you have about your talking/meeting, its more helful in your interview. Try to gather pictures, letters & phone bills showing you called & talked that much long.

As long as the relationship is genuine, it does not matter how you met.

we do have all the records except the initial 2 months chatting record . because at that time we didn't know that we have to keep all these records .

will that be a problem ?

[MinnielovesMickey 4]

no!..just save everything u can,email,phone bill,letter,etc...doesn't really matter that u must have chat conversation from the start,we dont have first 2months chat conversation too but we just save our emails.Goodluck!it is great that both parents know ur relation,they might be helpful.

Hi there,

congratulations

just be aware that being introduced by relatives can raise questions from the officer side about 'whether her/your family just wants her/you to immigrate in the usa' (not sure if you are petitioner). Just take it as precaution and have your answers ready. Good luck !

Is this typical of Indian culture? If it is, then it is good to follow the traditional and cultural ways of the beneficiary's country. But even if it weren't good and typical, you could not change how things happened and you should definitely not lie about how things happened. I think it is good to have the parents approval since India seems to be a more traditional and conservative country in which parents' approval is customary and important (not so much the independent minded attitude which is the norm in other countries).

Best wishes!

In your culture, where parental approval of a marriage is the norm, it is a good thing. The embassy in New Delhi takes a dim view of marriages that don't have apparent parental approval and question its validity.

Have letters from the parents attesting to the validity of the relationship and their approval of same ready when the alien goes to the embassy. They go a long way towards proving this all important point.
