Hi. I've been reading a few things about how (I'm not sure who to list here, USCIS? "Immigration"?) the authorities record/keep track of what information related to tourist visa travel. This should not be surprising, but it's something I hadn't considered recently. My first big question is, what does this include?

1 - What was said at tourist visa interview (?)

2 - What was said to immigration authorities in the airport/POE (?)

3 - What addresses were given (for where the tourist planned to stay) (?)

4 - Anything else?

My second question is, what do they use this information for?

12/30/10 - Engaged

02/09/11 - I-129F mailed

02/17/11 - NOA1

05/18/11 - NOA2

05/??/11 - NVC received petition

06/03/11 - NVC forwarded petition to Ciudad Juarez Consulate

06/??/11 - Consulate received petition

06/14/11 - Consulate sent out packet

Many people say they are married when they apply for a tourist visa thinking it shows ties to the home country. They if they apply for a marriage visa they are asked to supply proof of the nonexistent marriage. They take finger prints , a recent couple was derailed when they matched his family based visa prints with prior travel under a different name ( we never did hear how that ended ) It is always best never to lie.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
