INTERVIEW QUESTION ( Mumbai Consulate ) Help needed!

[swapnil.soni 2]

Hi everyone,

I am a US citizen and my wife is scheduled for an interview in few weeks. We just found one thing that may be an issue and we are kind of freaking out.

We had our friends who lives in the US and were our neighbours in India, submit an affidavit of support letter explaining that the marriage was genuine. This letter was part of other documents we submitted for i130 petition. At the time of our marriage they were in India and attended our wedding and they have mentioned that in the letter. But we do not have a picture of them in our wedding photo album. I am worried that the interviewer may ask where is the picture of the neighbour who attended the wedding. We have pictures of some their other family members but not them. Because of this I am just hoping that this doesnt create a problem. Any ideas?

Any insight on this would be helpful.

Thank you

Swapnil

first of all .. did you register your marriage,, you have a valid copy of the civil document... also if you done religious ceremony .. copy of the that certificate.. then there is no need for affidavits .. any way you submitted it... they are not there to find all your faults.. if none of you have prior marriage or no red flags then the interview will go smooth...

Thank you for your reply. Yes we did register the marriage and have given the marriage certificate a civil document for that. Both of us were married before. We have given our divorce papers as well. Does that mean that we should be prepared for a prolonged questioning because we were married before??

What state are you from? .. Are you petitioner?.. where is former spouse living (both) ?

I'm not sure how they would even know that those specific friends are not in the pictures. They don't know what your friends look like.

Hey Swapnil.

Just go in the interview. Dont freak out. They dont know what your friends look like. If they happen to ask you the question, just tell them that the photographer may not have taken a photo of them during the wedding because there are several thousand people in our indian weddings.

There is nothing wrong with not having a pic. of them.

Do you live in US?

Do you have any income?

They might ask you additional questions to make sure that you guys dont start milking the government assistance once your spouse moves here...thats all. Where as..they may not even ask you any questions pertaining to this thing.

I am in MA and the petitioner. Ex-wfe lives in the same state but different town with her bf.

Thank you - that makes sense. I live in the US and my income is above poverty level.

No yaar. Interviewer won't ask such questions..They may ask your wedding or honeymoon pictures but if you have already submitted your pictures then they will not ask it again..in my case interviewer did not ask anything other than my wife's name.
