Mine was "was this an IMB" and I should have checked "no" but I didn't check anything. However, I did put "none" and "n/a" throughout the whole section I just did not check the box! Also, At the very end of my petition and I included a page that states the legal definition of a marriage broker and how Facebook is absolutely not and IMB  as well as the terms of service off the Facebook website. Also the terms of service have been updated since February 2018 so I printed out the new version just for my fiancé to take to the interview FYI.

so long story short, maybe having all that other ####### in there made them realize oh yeah it's not and Ill cut her some slack.  Maybe if I had not checked the box AND  not done that other stuff I would've gotten an RFE 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow. I made the same mistake with question 55 ! 😮 Thanks for share with us

I've read some mixed things about unchecked boxes on various reports. One guy said they got their NOA1 in July 2017 and had to get their congresswoman and sue to get USCIS to finally give them a decision. Two weeks later, he got an RFE for not checking some box. Stupid. My guess is USCIS was just looking for anything at that point. But a couple other people had unchecked or unfilled boxes too that didn't have such dramatic cases. They were mostly "I didn't think I had to fill this in because I checked NO to the question above." I left a bunch of lines blank to questions under "if you answered yes to...then..." instead of putting NA or something. I hope they don't give me a hard time on that. If they do, I'll be quite aggravated as I don't remember reading that as a suggestion/requirement anywhere in all the guides I read. 🙄I guess time will tell!

I did the same thing. Indeed, on the PDF, it wouldn't let you put in NA for some of the boxes. They were really sloppy in creating the PDF. To the OP, it would seem a bit silly to have to explain or provide proof to anyone that Facebook is not an IMB.

It is silly you are correct. However, I was told here on VJ that once in a while, when the officer wants to be a **** s/he can request proof that the social media platform you met on is, in fact, NOT an IMB 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was just covering my bases

I've actually braced myself for an RFE over this. My fiance and I met through a relatively new gay dating app called Surge and I did not include their TOS to prove they are not an IMB. I did mention it was a mobile dating app but I've read mixed RFE results of people who met through dating apps.

#######. I just realized I put Okcupid.com as my meeting place. I did describe we met in person at in n out but now i'm freaked they are going to just flag my case and say "IMB" sigh, this whole thing has been terrible from the start.

Hi guys! Congratulations on everyone getting approved this week! I’m just curious, what’s the new website everyone has been logging into to see the case status? Mine still says case received on March 1st. Any help on the link for the new website is appreciated. Thanks everybody!

For most well known sites there’s a big possibility of them not asking at all. Unless you forgot to check “no”.

 

we met on Facebook, checked no, didn’t sent or asked for any proof.

If they were to come back and say that we needed to fill in all the NA boxes, how would we do that? Would they send the 129f back for revision? I swear, if they do that to us, I'm going to file a complaint with every official at head of USCIS and cc congresspeople and senators.
