I would like to know if we have any red flags

1) we met in social network, talked for 5 months.

2) met in 5 months later

3) 2 months later we married

4) I never being married, neither my husband. I have one child ( in my teens) My son now is 17. my husband does not have kids.

4) I was a resident alien before I married him, then I became a citizen.

5) I had been in turkey 3 times last year, this year will be 4th time ( I am going for his interview)

6) my husband is not working for the past 6 months.

7) I never petition anybody before.

8) he had never requested any visa to come here( this is what he said)

I told my husband to take my passport to the embassy for them to know I was there.

( He has copies of my other entries)

Am I good ? I hope God will bless us

Atop every VJ page are links for "Embassy Info" and "Reviews." In each, read everything you can about YOUR consulate. Interviews are very embassy-specific, so only those for yours will apply to you. Pay special attention to the WORST stories, so that you and he can be prepared.

His presenting your passport to the consul is an outstanding plan (especially in consulates in third-world or high-fraud countries) -- doing so might turn a borderline interview into a positive one or provide a fighting chance if the consul had made up his mind to refuse the visa. You WILL be on the premises, correct? (Presumably, since you're loaning your husband your passport!) You could be invited in to the interview, which would be a very good sign.

If you're considerably older than he is, or past childbearing age, it could be a sticking point if cultural norms for that country indicate that a man without children typically would marry someone able to produce them. This is another reason for you to be on the premises for the interview.

I'm looking at your timeline. Looks like you met a year and a half ago. That's ok. I am also a naturalized citizen. I became one after I met my fiancé. They were pretty tough on him in his interview. But he knew everything about my job, my daughter and my life in general. They were firm on making him speak English. But in the end, everything was by the book. Finances in order. So they approved. They might be tough on your husband, but this is to protect you. Have a long talk with him about your life. Cover all your bases. Then you will be just fine ;)

Has your son met your husband? If yes, have him show pics of them together. If no, be prepared with a good reason why. Either way, he should be able to talk about your son, showing knowledge of his school, hobbies etc.

Well my husband does not know my son in person but he always see him in skype. My son in unable to travel to turkey due to school( he is in high school). furthermore he would not traveled so far. My son just say hi to my husband " he his not too happy I got married" My son asked me why I waited 16 years to get married. I hope everything goes fine.

I would not be able to get inside. Ankara embassy does not allow. I am giving him my passport to show I am there + the itinerany of my others flights. I hope than can work in our advantage. I told my husband he better dont lose it or don;t let them keep it. I am kind of worry in that part, Also to answer your other question. He is just 3 years older than me. I hope

As long as he understands what they are asking him, he will be fine. They don't say he needs to speak quickly. Don't worry about him.
