CR-1 interview HELP ( I - 130, immigration interview)

[VJ-fan 0]

Hi,

We seriously need some help regarding immigration interview for CR-1 catagory.Here is the little back group, I will try to make it to the point.

My wife and I got married in June. Wedding in June was just with close family members. Only about 10-15 people. We got the marriage certificate (with June wedding date) and filed I-130. We DON'T have much pictures to show for this wedding and invitation card and marriage certificate shows that wedding was at my HOME. And invitation card also shows that wedding was in the "afternoon".

We did our grand wedding in January with about 500 people (friends/family) and we have awesome wedding album to prove that. Invitation card for this wedding says that wedding was "at night at party plot" and ofcourse pics shows everything.

Here are the possible interview questions we are not sure what to answer:

Any suggestions are welcome.

We have to tell them that we got married in JUNE. And since we don't have picture for JUNE wedding, we will show them November wedding.

1) Should we go ahead and tell them that we had two weddings?

2) Should we not tell them, unless we are asked specifically about that?

3) Do we have to give them wedding invitation card? If yes, only from JUNE wedding, or both JUNE and JANUARY wedding?

Please HELP.

well i can't see how it would hurt to point out that you

love this person so much that you took your vows twice.

i would go ahead and bring everything with me, invitations from

both ceremony, and show it to them and explain why we had 2 ceremonies.

Since you filed after the June wedding, and your certificate shows June, then June it is. You do not have to answer any question you are not asked. You cannot use the later wedding since you had already filed your I-130 before then. Just explain that you did a little wedding with the little money you had then, and when you had more, you did a big wedding and show them all pix

Agree with VJ-fan and Tero. One question did you got married 3 times?

Tell them June, but when asked about the photos, explain you had a legal wedding and later a religious wedding/ wedding celebration. It is not uncommon; we had two as well, though ours were only a week apart.
