You'll just have to wait and see what happens then. The form does clearly ask to describe the circumstances of your meeting. Luckily Tinder is not an IMB (I know some people like yourself do find real lasting relationships on there but let's not pretend that's what most people use it for). So you don't have to worry about misrepresentation, but your issue is an incomplete package with missing information.

I am now wondering why they even approved it

Towards the end. It says “describe the circumstances under which you met”.

What it actually says is 

 

Which is completely different from "how you have met each other for the first time" I do not see question of that nature anywhere on 129F, just questions if you met via IMB.

See @Shiran's post above. That question is for describing your in-person meeting, not how you first met and began your relationship. So I think you're good actually. And they do not approve packages in the first step. They simply receive and accept them. They do a quick look first to see if everything is included. If something is missing, they reject the package and send it back. Approvals and denials only happen after the case is adjudicated.

 

I took a look at the i-129f and there's a section that clearly asks if you met through an IMB so I'm just not sure why this issue is coming up now.

Nope. Before that. I just checked mine and it’s question 34.

There were quite a few people on here who have reported getting RFEs for website terms of service. But that was all before the new rule.

Yeah this is how we initially interpreted that question when filling out the 129 form, it was not significant to us so we just forgot about it. I hope thats how the interviewer sees it.

question 34 on mine asks about previous marriages

In the same section?? I'm seeing #34 as asking if the beneficiary has been married before.

It is possible you used previous version of the form of 129F which worded thing differently?

Well that is specifically what that question is asking about on the form. So if you filled it out and attached evidence of your in-person meeting within the last 2 years, then that's fine because that's a requirement.

 

I was just asking why you didn't look into whether or not Tinder is an IMB while you were filling out the form because it clearly has a whole section asking if you met through an IMB.

Because we saw that and brushed it off as it must be a mail order bride service or something. We really should have done more research.

Oh I see. Well Tinder is not an IMB so it's not like you misrepresented. But you'll just have to wait and see if they ask for more info. Can't give any predictions on if they will send an RFE or not cause there's that new policy and it's hard to know how they'll operate with it.

I can tell you why I haven't looked into it. Because based of the nature of it it seems clearly those are separate businesses. I've met my fiancee online as well, but it wasn't even any sort of dating website/app, just a chat room. Us falling for each other was serendipitous accident, not part of either of us goal,  so I just answered "No" to IMB question without giving it a second thought.

The instructions say if you met online you must submit a copy of the terms of service so they can see the website is not an IMB site. Even with very obvious sites that they already have info for, you still must submit. Search on these forums, I believe the person who got an RFE a couple of months ago on here was talking about OK Cupid. You’ll find the info.

There was also someone who said they met on Facebook and they asked for TOS from that too. So look for those threads. I only talk about the denial because of the new rules, and these RFEs were from at least a couple of months ago when they were still issuing RFEs for everything.
