My spouse and I met on the internet, do you think they would find this suspicious during the interview?
To be more specific, it was on Myspace a long time ago lol but we have been a real couple for over a year (saw each other regularly) and we are a completely legitimate couple and it fears to think about being denied because of some suspicions they might have against us because of how we met. So we have been dating for over an year and plan to move in around the same time as the marriage, I know the interview thing is a bit further away but I can't help not to think about it and prepare for it mentally.
I don't know if anyone has any experience with this but if you do, please share!
 
It doesn't matter how you guys met in the first place. You need to prove that your marriage is an authenticate one; keep records of your meetings/encouters, visits to places, etc.

Talk to a good immigration attorney specialized in family immigration.

Good luck

It's the 21st century. Lots of people meet on the Internet now. I wouldn't worry at all about that.
 
It could be a problem if you met on the Internet, proposed on the Internet, and saw each other in real life for the first time on the wedding day or maybe a few days before.

But that is not what happened with you. It's not a problem if you say you initially found each other on the internet on __Date1__, and then started meeting each other face to face on ___Date2___.

i see. but we don't need specific dates for things like that, right? (such as when we started talking and the day that we first met)
 
The interviewer sometimes will ask for dates like that. You don't need to give an exact date, but for a relatively new relationship like yours you should be able to say a month and year (or at least a season and year, like Summer 2009), and both of you should say the same thing if asked separately.
 
I agree on the 21st century thing... It is pretty common nowadays to meet somebody on the internet... If your dates are consistent and you can guide them through the beginning of your relationship, then there won't be any problem...

Hey... of course watch out... if the interviewer is some kind of old conservative guy that uses "the internets" and quite doesn't understand that; he might put a little more pressure... if your marriage is real anyway... you should never be worried :)

yea thats what i was a bit worried about. if my interviewer happens to be like some old guy or lady who has no clue about the internet and has only heard of the horrible news that goes on about it on TV lol
 
You have no control over that... so... hope in luck... and DON'T LIE... if you are caught in a lie... because you don't want to tell him about the internet... then you will see your application rejected for sure; smile... be absolutely natural... and remember that there's love :) and as you know... "all you need is love" :D
 
I met my wife over the internet, but it was a long distance relationship till she moved in with me.
my interview is next week. i'll be taking receipts from flights/rentals i took when i visited her.
 
I doubt Triple Citizen met his wife online... I need to see proof...lol!!! For all online couples out there, be prepared for an extra scrutiny from USCIS, because of the amount of fraud involved in the green card business. As such, prepare all evidence to stand a better chance of being approved.
