Virtual Marriage

[dobasa 2]

Hello please I need to asked if our paperwork will not be affected because we do the virtual wedding online around April and used that to file our paper work. 

I’m from Nigerian and me and my wife have our honey moon in Dubai meeting for the first time, please I need suggestions and what to do base on our paperwork 

thanks

You married on first meet, that is likely to be an issue.

 

Will she be staying with you until the interview?

When did you meet before April or after April?

The marriage is only valid for immigration purposes if you were together during the wedding or met after... 

Did you include proof of meeting in your package?

Age difference?

Assuming you took your honeymoon after you married because why would you call it a honeymoon if you weren't married.

 

Did you marry online through Utah or another state? As long as you were married virtually and then met after you are in the clear. I uploaded the electronic marriage cert and also scans of the original marriage cert from Utah just to cover all bases.

 

What specific paperwork are you worried about? If your wife is a US Citizen then she should be processing your immigration paperwork.

The process starts with action from the US Citizen.  Get her here to read the guides and do her homework.

You said in your original posting tat you met in Dubai... Here you say you have never met in person... Which is it, have you met in person or not?

Make sure you meet in person in Dubai or another place a few more times before the I-130 is approved. 

Then submit the evidence of meeting when you submit I-864 and DS260. 

Then try to meet a few more times before the interview.

Nigeria is viewed as a high fraud country so they might question the bonafide of the marriage because you married BEFORE meeting for the first time... and they might question how well you know each other if you've only met once before filing. 

 

Is there an age gap? Who is older?

I think just a tense problem.  They married in April and met in May.
