 Congrats! It seems they are going thru August quickly? Im an August 28th filer. Sitting here at 138 days... lol hoping to hear good news next week 😬😬💪🏽

Thank you. I hope you and our fellow August family get approvals soon. Just have a little more patience and prayers. Just stay positive and just think of the real reason why you're in this process...😉

You're right! Oof. They're asking my answer to: 

 

Did you meet your fiancé through the services of an International Marriage Broker.

[ ] Yes [ ] No 

 

Do ya'll think I should simple answer NO or provide some context and information that Instgram isn't an IMB? (Apologies if this is off topic and needs to be moved to another thread)

Do you have a copy of your original 129F? Did you answer question 55, or did you forget to  check that box?

Yeah, I just looked at the copy. I had "N/A" listed on all the spots about IMB except a [x] NO. for if I used one. Looks like this is a simple fix thankfully.

 

My plan is to make copies of the letter I was sent then send the info with some sort of tracking back to them.

Did you mention Instagram in your letter to them? And yes, I do believe this is just missing box 55 that prompted this.

Hmm I answered question 55 with No and left the rest related to IMB blank. I hope that's not a confusion to them. Good luck with th rfe, it does seem like is a simple fix.

I'm sure you're fine. It's ironic how I went above and beyond but missed the basic answer.

I did mention Instagram. Yeah I'm going to send this off today to get this squared away ASAP.

If you answer 55 with a No checkbox, it will actually grey out all the following boxes (boxes 56 to 61), so you cannot fill them out, so you are fine in that regard. What CAN happen though, if in your "love letter" (answere to question 54) you mention a specific online service, in some cases even something innocuous as FaceBook, you might get RFE with "please prove this is not IMB" It was one of the reason why in my answer to 54 I was intentionally non-specific, mentioning we have met online, but without specifying non-dating community by name.

On that letter I didn't mention any site because we met through a friend in common that we had at the time. We met in 2010 but didn't start dating until 2013. I just mentioned that we've been on a long distance relationship since 2013 but I didn't really mention that we met through a friend. Hopefully that's not a problem either lol.

I see! I'm actually wrong about that, I just read my copy of our letter and I was also non specific. I do have instagram photos of our meeting but that's it. Sounds like since I haven't mentioned any specific sites and sworn it's not a IMB I'm okay.

So the only reason you might have gotten an RFE would have to be that you didn't answer Question 55? But you said you did specify No, correct?

Please fill in your timeline with your NOA1 and RFE date
