Hi Guys, so I’ve been reviewing interview questions. There’s one that has me stumped.

Why are you getting married in the US?” OR “Why don’t you get married in Nigeria?

Please what’s the best way to answer this question? seems like a tricky question without a right answer. Would appreciate people who have been asked during their interviews to help out or anyone who has a helpful answer.

By the way, my response would have been: Because she has her whole family and job there and I do not intend to disrupt that.

Seems like an inadequate response to me though because I also have that here in naija.

Looking forward to helpful contributions.

Saw this question once on vj. So I screenshot it for future purpose.

Lol. I thought I asked for helpful comments o. So your advice is to get married before applying for a K1 visa? shocked shocked shocked
I take exception to your cheating comments sir! I’ll assume it’s not directed at me though cos u don’t know anything about me.
Please I need helpful comment oooo
Yes, married a Nigerian way with all family and friends around shows you and your family accept and respect this marriage. US embassy knows some cases when the Nigerian husband even hides his American marriage saying it's a job visa and have a Nigerian wife and kids back home which is supported by his family and the American wife doesn't have a clue about it.

And no, it's not directed to you, it's a generic answer related to your question, suits to everybody.

Saw this question once on vj. So I screenshot it for future purpose.
Like I said, the best response to that question is the truth. If these responses posted by a vj member is the truth for Disguy1, then he can provide it as his answer if asked. However if its not, the CO might find out he's lying and that could affect his approval. The CO' s are experts at probing if they suspect sth fishy.

For instance, if they suspect you said sth that's not true, they can probe further by asking leading questions. The first option given by the vj member is to "test waters". The CO might ask why are you testing waters if you truly love her. They might also ask why don't she come to Nigeria to "test waters" since its much easier for her to come to Nigeria (since she is both Nigerian and American) than for you to go to America. Options 2, 3 and 4 doesnt apply to you since you are a guy. But even if you want to reverse it, they can still probe further by asking why. For instance, if you say you want her family in the States to get to know you, they will ask why not she also come to Nigeria to get to know your family....you get my drift?

Concerning frypuffpuff's suggestion, they can ask why don't she first come to Nigeria to meet your parents? They know the Nigerian customs and know that our customs value both parents of the bride and groom. They know that your parents are meant to see the bride and give their blessings as well. So they can probe along that line.

So, like I said earlier, there is no standard answer to that question. The only standard answer is the truth and nothing but the truth. If the truth is that you feel america is the best place for you and your future wife because it has a better economy than Nigeria or better security than Nigeria. Then go-ahead and say it. If the truth is that you also want to study in the US after marriage then say it. As long as you truly love your fiance, you are fine, the CO can't come in between your love for her. They can't deny two love birds coming together to get married. But if you don't love her, then.....I have nothing to say :-x. I trust you do love her.

You should delete the persons contact on your phone.

If you do that, only the phone number will show on the call logs and text messages.

What do you need the letter from the beneficiary's place of work for? Totally unnecessary for your k1 application.

GREEN CARD APPROVED.

Hello People.

I got help from this channel during my process. Hopefully someone gets help from this post too.

My Green Card petition got approved today.

Here is a summary if my timeline.

-K1 visa got approved in Lagos mid June this year

-got into US mid July

-filed for Adjustment of Status late August

-Biometrics late September

-Interview Scheduled mid November

-EAD got approved last Friday (yet to receive it)


-GC nterview held today (approved )

Interview Details:

-was scheduled for 12 noon

-we got there 11:2am

-went through security

-Got called in at 12:09

-CO separated and interviewed us individually.

-Grilled my woman for 15mins.
- Took her out, called me in and grilled me for 15mins.



Here are some of the Questions:

After oath,

-He first went through the i-485 form with me to verify if anything has changed after filing, He asked me same questions as contained in the form.

Asked a bunch of questions like if I am a terrorist, here to overthrow the govt, ever involved in child trafficking, ever removed from the country etc which I answered "No" to all.

Other questions in no particular order:

-How did you meet?

-who proposed?

-Describe your reactions when you arrived in the US.

-where did you guys first drive to?

-how many bathrooms are in your apartment

-what does your wife love doing?

-what meal does she love most?

-what meal do you love most?

-How much do you guys pay for rent?

-what's your wife's phone number?

-where does she work at?

-how many Tvs are at your apartment?

-what is your address here in the US.

-what are the names of her siblings?

-Names of her Parents.

These and several other questions, some of which were follow up to answers I had provided

At some point, he Said My answers corresponds with my wife's and therefore he was not going to waste too much of our time. Called my wife in and gave us detail information about what it means to be a permanent residence, said GC is valid for 2 years after which we will file for removal of conditions.
Said I can apply for citizenship after three yrs of becoming a permanent resident.

ADVICE.
You re good as far as your relationship is genuine. Panic not. Be patient, try not to get into any problems during wait period. Be sure you both have same story. Know your apartment

Get all your facts straight, above all, be real, be truthful, you just might not know what your wife was asked and what her answers were. However if you both are truthful, your answers will definitely tally.

Again, Make sure your story corresponds with your wife's. You might be interviewed separately.

Finally lIke many have said on this platform, put God first. My process went 3 times faster than I expected. It's a thing of surprise to get GC within 3.5 months of filing.

You have any questions? I will be happy to help with answers.

Goodluck to you all.

Hi everyone. Pls I sent a letter of intent to my fiancé in the USA through EMS since I heard that it has to be a wet signature. I sent the letter and my passport photos last month as priority mail which supposed to take 10 working days. It’s now 20days and my fiancé is yet to receive the mail. Has anyone used EMS before? Is it necessary that the letter be wet signature or can it be scanned so that he can get it in time? We really want to send the I129F this month. Thanks
