DS260 question

[Oko Vicki 55]

Hi VJ family,

 

I need help deciding what to do regarding DS260 question about willful misrepresentation and fraud. I was denied a K1 visa in 2019 due to counterfeit divorce certificate. It was not willful at all as I did not even know said document was fake until the Consulate found it to be and informed us through my then fiancee's congresswoman's office.

So my question is, do I select  no and give my explanations if/when it comes up during my interview or select yes (would this not mean that I am admitting I did it willfully)??

Thank you.

 

PS: CEAC website keeps taking me back to sign in page when I clicked next from the first page of DS260. is it my connection or is anyone else experiencing this?

Be sincere in your answer, which is YES and explain still in the ds-260 form the reasons, because whether you answer yes or no they know what happened but just waiting for your honesty. They will also ask you same question at the interview and you still answer exactly as in the form.

For connection, check your internet speed.

Okay. Thank you for your advice. For connection, the site is working fine on Internet Explorer, that issue was with my Google Chrome for whatever reason.

Did you go ahead ticking yes to willful misrepresentation and explaining what happened?. If so, please was it a problem during your interview?

I did. No it wasn't a problem at the interview. Please go to my profile and read my Consulate Review, I mentioned it there.
