Facebook - Make or Break Your Case?

[John and Ann 10]

Is it true? The CO Folks at the Embassy check your Facebook activities to view you and/or your fiance's/spouse' behavior? Many people use aliases and many people have the exact same names, so how are they certain the accounts truly belong to the Petitioners and/or their Fiances with pending cases with USCIS?

If they are questioning any of your answers, it is very easy to use each persons email address. Inserting it in the search box of Facebook, will take you directly to the persons page. So they can see, that email correspondences match up to each, ie, timeline of relationship....

What is the big deal if they do look at your facebook? Mine is set on private for everyone except my friends and family but if they ever asked for my password i probably wouldn't have minded giving it to them because it would just confirm a 100 percent that my relationship was true and that I have nothing to hide.

Sorry but noone is perfect including my self I just don't think them looking at Facebook is a big deal.

I really don't understand the big deal here. My relationship is genuine, therefore my fiancee is all over my facebook, along with her family, photos of us all together and significant events like when we met and when we got engaged.

I would have thought that anyone in a genuine relationship could say the same?!?!

Couldn't have said it better!

Well, I don't really have bad stuff on my FB page but I have used this as an opportunity to do some house cleaning.

It may not bother you, but it may bother some people. Some question posted on here may not have application to you directly, so you don't have to answer if it does not apply to you. Also, just because a Petitioner and/or Beneficiary does not feel comfortable with their Facebook being exposed, does not signify wrong-doing. Some people just simply rather not have it viewed and judged by the Embassy folks, that's all. Just because it does not bother you doesn't me something is wrong just because it bothers someone else. People on VJ should not be judging others. We all here to encourage and support one another, not look down on them and pass judgement. Thank you.

I agree with you about FaceBook/

Regarding the bolded part, it's sad for sure and I think it's just frustrated petitioners taking off steam and I don't think they are really that much of stuck up troglodytes in real life

I am sorry if me having nothing to hide offended you. It is just my opinion just like yours is your opinion. That does not mean i am not enouragin members or looking down up on them. I just know that ever sicne me and my husband met and began a relationship he was a presence on my facebook and in my life even if he was a 12 hour flight away from me. My facebook is full of pictures of me, him, us, our families, friends and everything else it was like that before and after the interview and that was my choice just like yours might be not to put any of it on facebook (i dont know i dont have you as a friend im just giving an example). What i will say is that the Consul has to decide your relationship is legitimate or not and if it comes down to him seeing my facebook or not seeing it I would let him see it because it will just confirm that I have nothing to hide. Imagine saying no if they ever asked and than them thinking you have something to hide. Again that is just my opinon doesnt mean that I am putting anyone down I am just stating it. You are the one that came with your comment of "well you must be perfect" which I never said I was i just said i had nothing to hide.

I actually included many FB posts with pictures of us and our marriage well wishes ,etc. as evidence in our petition. It doesn't mean a hill of beans to me if they check my FB because I posted alot on there during our honeymoon with pics and all.

So in this case, Facebook can be beneficial to your case.
