Hello! 
 

I’ve noticed there really isn’t a place for LGBTQ+ couples to discuss their experience with AOS as they are different! 
 

If anyone has any experience with their AOS process and interview please put it down here so we know what to expect as a LGBTQ+ couples. 

(if u don’t have any experience/ don’t have anything nice to say please don’t say it—— this is a safe space)

A quick review of the VJ ToS sounds in order.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Hi there.

 

I am also a part of a same-sex couple who has now completed the WHOLE immigration process.  Honestly, you must approach this process as if you are no different than ANY OTHER COUPLE.  You will gather data in the same manner as a straight couple.  The one thing I would say could be helpful (but NOT required) is any evidence that your families-of-origin are supportive of you as a couple (if this is true).

 

Do not hold yourself out as "different".  By law, you are not to be treated any differently (either better or worse) than any other couple.  You must believe this.  If your relationship is true, then you need to project that confidence in all you do in the immigration process.

 

Best of luck to you - believe in yourself and your relationship.  That's what you need!

Please review the TOS. We don't restrict anyone from posting. As long as it is not abusive or derogatory.
