Interview question about divorce

[alicekitty 8]

Do the officers ask about divorce in detail or at all? Such as why did the previous marriage not work out and so on? (London embassy)

How much detail should be provided?

Thank you.

It depends on the overall case but yes, they can ask in detail; if it is the beneficiary who got divorced to make sure it wasn't to gain immigration benefits via marriage to a USC, and if it is the petitioner, to make sure the beneficiary knows about the USC's history.

Everything is on the table to be asked about.

Yes, they can ask. Most, however, do not. There are stories of unethical questions being asked. You can see them in the forums. I would have the info, but don't get overly nervous about it.

Thank you for your very helpful tips.

Can anyone who's been asked that question share their experience? How detailed? How did you answer?

CO asked me what the reason for my divorce was. I just told her the truth. My ex connected with a childhood friend and cheated on me with that dude and that was that. CO didn't press for any further information regarding my divorce after that explanation.

I got half a remark, not even a question, at my interview about my than fiance being divorced. Don't worry about it to much. (easier said than done I know).
