Do I tell the truth or not?

for those that has not been through an interview or AOS. let me tell you this.

sometimes the questions can go far deeper than just " how did you meet ". The CO or Ajudications officer can ask some pretty detailed questions that some would reguard as " its not their business " - hince the Strokes interview. so maybe you should be honest and truthful. you should realize that this IMBRA stuff is no big deal compaired to what they really can ask and will ask!

Honesty is the best policy. My mom always says "tell the truth and you won't have as much to remember." That being said, my understanding of the IMBRA is to protect people from abuse and stuff (I could be wrong, and I freely admit I don't know everything). Anyway, what I got out of it is that you have to provide contact information for the internet site on which you met; and you have to disclose stuff like restraining orders filed against you and convictions for domestic abuse. GOOD LUCK!!!!

My wife just received her conditional green card after USCIS adjustment of status interview. They asked about marriage agency 10 times. We denied that we met through agency. We did not get background check. They delayed decision for adjudicated review and checked with the embassy in Kiev. They approved the green card. You can deny that you met through agency, but you must also say that during embassy interview. USCIS will try everything to get your wife to admit that you met through agency. You must keep story straight and be ready. If they can't prove that you met through agency, they will approve her green card.

If you say you met through agency, but didn't get background check, you should now get a check, and have her sign a statemtent that she has seen the check.

Be honest and tell the truth. You will save yourselves a lotb of trouble later on. Its not just 1 question 'how did you meet' and at interview stage, they can scrutinize and ask for all kinds of details and evidence for whatever you answer at any stage. My husband and I met on a matrimonial site and we were ok coz we told the truth. All the best.

A few months ago I filled out a free profile at a international dating site. A number of people contacted me but I saw something very special in just one. We decided to meet not long ago and it went even better than I hoped.

Should things continue in this mode I wonder how the new law concerning IMBA could effect me. Other than getting her free email forwarded to me in the beginning we had all contact and meetings on our own.

Now I worry if I claim We met through this typical dating site (which deals with a large volume of international folks) without filling out some form we might have problems.

Maybe it is better to just say I was on vacation and we met on the street or via skpe or something?

* there is always a fly in the ointment.

Dating on the internet isnt news anymore, its how a lot of people meet these days, there was a thread here asking how people met their spouse and the bulk of it was online.

Il say be honest ... and i know of someone here in particular... meeting on the internet was no issue for them nor was age.

So like the previous poster rightly said "be Honest"
