Sure.

Authenticity = real and genuine. What has the couple done together that can be considered vital in a real/genuine relationship? I am not talking about just 100 photo albums but perhaps photos of specific events that real and genuine couples do together in private and public. My wife and I for example rented two bicycles and we road around Angkor Wat. We don't have many relatives ( perhaps it's a good thing ) so we don't have relatives in every photo. It's just us two doing crazy, funny, stupid, and human things.

History = Past events that the two people have done together. My wife and I are actively involved in charity work so we include photos of some of things we do together. We took photos with young, homeless, abused, and stranger children. We also have photos with people at work. Photos of us bowling together. Photos of her living her life with me. Our photos and events are quite different from the traditional photos of people standing in line for a photo. COs don't know and cannot tell if the people standing in the photos are real or were paid to stand. History also includes a sequence of activities that connect the relationship like 1-2-3.

Duration = How long has the authenticity and history of the two people together? In 2005 I was introduced to a girl that I never know/never met by my Aunt in Cambodia. She sent some photos by email to me. I did't really like her at first. A few months later we started to talk and chat more. Later she mailed some music to me. By the end of 2006, we started to talk almost every day and my phone bills increased from $50 per month to $200. For new year 2006, I went to Cambodia to meet her with my family. I decided this was the woman I wanted to be with but we were not quite ready for marriage. So we continued to email and chatted on phone and skype throughout 2007-2008. In 2008 I married the woman of my dream.

Today, I have known my wife for 6-7 years and married 4 years.

When you look at the statistic for divorce of 1-2 years, the three factors above are important to show relationship validity.

Further to the 3 points listed, I noticed many petitioners are careless about their love one's date of birth, when they met, their phone numbers, has the petitioner ever been married? Why did s/he divorce? etc..etc..

These are important things that authentic couples with history and duration know about each other.

Authentic couples with a history and duration can respond to the COs questions without hesitation. Certain questions like who does your husband work with and what is the population of your husband's State in the U.S. are not as important. If you know great, if not, just say you don't know. I dont believe that any CO in his/her right mind will reject a spousal or fiance visa for not knowing the population of a state or the names of work colleaques.

But not knowing your husbands date of birth, phone numbers that you call everyday, date you met, what his mother's name is, and how many children he has is ground for denial.

If the beneficiary hasn't taken the time to understand and know her husband's biography, past, and personal information, chances are she is more interested in the greencard than the husband or finance.

This is the best information I've received on this site thus far concerning interviews in Cambodia. A reality check at the least and actionable information at the most. Instead of telling us Cambodian Petitioners the regular information that leads to disappointment, best to let us know what's going on there and help get our heads straight so that we can "properly" prepare for the interview.

THANK you. 

 

I would like to add that today is 2017 and I am still married to the same girl I posted above.

 

We have married almost 10 years and my wife has naturalized as a US citizen.

 

History, authenticity, and duration works.  So do yourself a favor and let the process of immigration help validate your decision.

Politics is not helping my visa process or other's. More disturbing news coming out of Cambodia in addition to "strained" relations between the US and Cambodia.

Oh yeah and congratulations on your upcoming 10th anniversary. That is very encouraging. If it wasn't for your post here I would have wasted my time on evidence that any scammer can manufacture instead of offering evidence of a genuine relationship over time. And like you said, let Immigration validate our decision instead of trying to "convince" them.
