So, she was so nervous that she had a small vomit in the hotel room the night before interview.(She will kill me for mentioning that :rofl: ).

Anyway, we spent SO MUCH time, money, and effort preparing all supporting evidence, chat logs, phone records, pictures, documents, etc....($300+ to send all that to her), they asked for NONE of that.

But, they did ask to see 1 document that is NOT listed as a requirement for interview. I will get to that one later.

They asked her only 3 questions. 1) "Who is your petitioner"? Reply: My husband, Thomas P______ J_______.

2) "You have a son"? Reply: Yes

3) "Oh? You were married before? Reply: No

This is where all you IR-1/CR-1 applicants who have a child will want to listen.

Interviewer: "You will need to go apply for your "CEMAR" to show that you have never been married before".

My wife: "Oh, I have that already" :yes: ...the interview had a look of surprise on her face.

Interviewer: "Ok then, your APPROVED!

My wife said thank you to VJ....that CEMAR was her "Saving Grace"! APPROVED!!!

I am not talking about the marriage certificate. I am talking about CEMAR(the advisory of marriage form).

CEMAR......not marriage certificate

This is a document for a married person that proves they have no previous marriages.

CENOMAR is for single person never married before.

Yeah....I don't remember the form number

The CEMAR is a form that shows if a married person has ever been married before.

It's like a CENOMAR for married person.

Congrats!

Thank you codygrace... :)
