i seen something like that posted here before that someone setup a fake fb profile to catch someone in lies. and then afterward his case was dismissed. so i was wondering if the government has access to things like that?? do they take it into consideration??

I remember a case on here, last year I think, where a beneficiary from a high fraud country had "married" as their Facebook relationship status when applying for a K1 and ended up needing a second interview, but I can't remember whether they got the visa. There have also been several cases where the CO asked for the Facebook or email login details, and we've had cases where it was clear the petitioner or beneficiary's name were googled, so they do sometimes check.

I believe this to be True. Facebook requires your Name and other information if you wish to supply it. It is easily accessible to anyone.

There have been mentikon of online data in interviews and at least 2 subsarahan denials based on online stuff . Be carefull what you post.

The Montreal Consulate matches VJ names to applicants.

Moving thread from K-1 Process to General Immigration Discussion.

There is a recent thread where the OP sat at the interview seeing the interviewer had either the OP's fiancés fb profile or her own profile shown on the monitor. Here it is: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/313516-my-k-1-interview-at-moscow-embassy/

Whether or not they do more than just randomly check I wouldn't know.

They actually ask for your VJ name, or do it from people's posted timelines etc?

They match them from reading VJ. The beneficiary finds out when they get to their interview. For example, the VJ member will go to their interview and the Officer will say "Oh, so you're VJmembername."
