  1. No family in the country just my fiancee. I am also not a Muslim which is kinda obvious from my name but I was born in a different Muslim country by chance and that is listed on my passport. I am a naturalized US Citizen.
  2. I was selected for secondary screening as I'm brown, was traveling alone to a muslim country high on the so called terror list, and had stayed there for two months. From my experience this is common for USC who look like me and spend longer time periods in certain countries in the middle east. They asked me what I did for work, what i was doing in that country for two months, asked me questions about my family members, personal life etc etc. It was quite annoying actually and I didn't respond honestly as I felt that it was none of their business but just now realized that it could possibly cause trouble for us in the future. She didn't have to go through secondary screening only I had to.
  3. In 2020 me and my then to be wife travelled to the US on the same flight from her home country and were married two days later in the US on a prescheduled appointment. We travelled separately and I used the USC line while she used the travel line for foreigners on a visit visa. I was taken into secondary screening and was asked about my dating/relationship status and I told the officer that I was not seeing anyone at that time. She asked me why and I said I wasn't really looking to date at that time. We stayed in the US for a month and then returned back to her home country where we had our proper wedding and have been living here ever since. I'm curious if this could cause issues for us down the line? My wife didn't have secondary screening and was asked for the purpose of her visit at the counter and she said it was for shopping and visiting family. Our marriage in the US was more of just a procedure as I didn't want to have a foreign marriage certificate that had to be translated etc and was done via zoom. Our main wedding with family and friends was held later in her home country. We eventually plan on moving back to the US via CR1/IR1. Thanks in advance.
  4. I am a naturalized US Citizen via my first marriage to a US Citizen and currently married to my second wife, living overseas and expecting our first child. I will be filing for a CRBA for our child once he/she is born in a few months and also plan on filing CR1 for my wife a short time after. As I am going through some of the paperwork and forums, I am worried about what information I will need from my first marriage as it was a long time ago and I don't have too many records from that time. Is proof of bonafide first marriage generally required for CRBA and CR1 even though I am a citizen? My first marriage was in 2000 (23 years ago) and we were divorced in 2004 and didn't have any children. I became a citizen in 2010 and my second marriage was in 2020. Thanks in advance for any inputs.
