Depends on your country

Depends on your past

Depends on if you were talking to your fiance at the same time as another or other women.

Depends on alot

Yes, I know a couple people who had their cheating past brought up at the interview

One overcame it cause the fiance had confessed to her everything so when the CO ask her about it and she said yes I know her and her name and I know what he was doing.

So if you were talking to another at the same time you said I love you to your fiance you should tell her everything so she will not have any surprises at your interview

good luck

May 24, 2011 NOA1

Sept 11, 2011 NOA2-took 19 days to get case number

Sept 30, 2011 NVC number and IIN received Friday-gotta wait till Monday

clear that since I'm with her, I have not participated in any page of dating, but i forget to close some,

only wanted to know if that matters, even she knows i forget the password of this pages.

and I also like to know if what I hear is true, that they intervene email accounts?

to which they have database access?

are questions that perhaps most people think, but I think it bears mentioning.

I have a question,

it is true that they investigate on the email accounts?

I forget to close pages,because the password, but never again went back to using its a problem??

The investigate information about you that even you don't know about.

USCIS can only check an email account if you tell them it exists.

USCIS dont know how many people of the opposite sex you are talking to unless you tell them or the email account you tell them about contains incriminating emails.

anyone who tells any government department (especially immigration) about an existing email account that contains incriminating emails is just dumb and deserves everything they get.

Wait a minute... are you saying that the United States government will hack into an email account and read emails there if the account is mentioned? I find that difficult to believe. Especially since we give our email accounts to the USCIS for notification purposes.

May your visa journey be smooth and speedy.

im not saying they do... im saying that they can only do so if you tell them you have an email account. it wouldnt surprise me though if in certain cases they checked email and social networking accounts

The investigate information about you that even you don't know about.

i would definitely agree with that

Even if they are told that an email account exists, under what legal authority would they have the right to hack into that account and read the contents? After all, they don't have the password to such accounts.

As for social media like Facebook, yes that's pretty much public to anyone so there's no legal limitation.

But hacking into email accounts? I seriously doubt that.

i would say it was highly unlikely but i wouldnt say with 100% certainty that it doesnt happen

Again, can you cite the legal authority granted to USCIS or DOS to hack into an email account?

I don't mean to belabor this, but the OP is clearly concerned that the US government would hack into his account and your answers keep leaving that door open. My answer to the OP is that no, they won't hack into his email accounts.

So please, if you do have a reference for a legal authority granted to the US government to hack into the personal email account of an immigrant petitioner or beneficiary... provide that reference for us. Thanks.

May your visa journey be smooth and speedy.

There's this little act called the US PATRIOT ACT...

Which means if the federal government thinks you are up to something you shouldn't be they can tap your phones, intercept your email and keep you under surveillance with out a court order. Now this only pertains if they think you are carrying on or engaged in terrorist activities.

USCIS is covered under this act. They will investigate and find things about you, you didn't even know about.

"Access was given to the Department of State and the INS to criminal background information contained in the National Crime Information Center's Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III), Wanted Persons File and any other files maintained by the National Crime Information Center to determine whether visa applicants and applicants could be admitted to the U.S.[99] The Department of State was required to form final regulations governing the procedures for taking fingerprints and the conditions with which the department was allowed to use this information.[100] Additionally, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was ordered to develop a technology standard to verify the identity of persons applying for a United States visa.[100] The reason was to make the standard the technology basis for a cross-agency, cross-platform electronic system used for conducting background checks, confirming identities and ensuring that people have not received visas under different names"

If you have nothing to hide, it's not a worry.

I don't think they're going to hack your email to see if your cheating on your significant other.

There was a woman here with a problematic immigration journey from sub sarahan, way back when I was a newbie that claimed at their interview the CO had pictures of her in her traditional wedding dress ( They were applying for a K1 ) and emails where they used husband and wife. She claimed that he was the only one that she had sent the picture to and that he said he hadn't forwarded the picture. They were ultimately denied totally for misrep do to a fake passport issue in his past. I have no reason to believe that she made up her story. The government has long had the right to monitor emails from outside the US into the US ( Shortly after 9-11)

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

I have read several interview reports where people were asked for their facebook or email password. You can refuse to give it of course, but they can deny your visa, of course... This is much more clever than hacking, and just as efficient.

Now for the "they investigate information about you that even you don't know about", come on, let's not be irrational. USCIS and DOS have access to governmental databases: criminal and immigration-related, mostly. They don't read people's minds.

Over dramatic.. maybe, but there's no such thing as anonymity on the internet.

If a person is doing or has done something they shouldn't have it can and probably will be found out during this process.
