I-129F Question about how me met

[Lilith90 12]

Hi to everyone, I need help about a doubt I have. Me and my fiance are filling I-129f for K1 visa. In it there is a question about how we met, so we need to describe how we met and a short story of our relationship. I'm the beneficiary and I met my fiance in 2012 in U.S. when I worked illegally there. I was a nanny live in and I was with ESTA (Visa Waiver). I did not overstay, I stayed only 87 days. Then in the beginning of this year I returned again to work in U.S. with the same family. Again, I stayed almost 90 days.

The question is should we be honest say it, answering to the question about how me met or should we not say anything about?

I'm a bit worried about.. I would not get a denial

Always be honest. Never lie on any immigration forms.

tell them the truth and only the truth ... they're not going to judge you

Always be honest. Never lie on any immigration forms.

Yeah I know but I don't risk a denial in this way?

I do not think that illegal work in the US alone makes you ineligible for the visa since you did not overstay. However, misrepresentation can make you ineligible. You entered the US on the VWP twice with the intent to work, but I do not know that in and of itself equals material misrepresentation either. I would seek a consultation with an immigration attorney or two and see what they tell you.

Yeah, it is pretty tough. And I know I did a big mistake (double!) entering in US on Visa Waiver Program.. Thanks for your advice, I'll follow it trying to ask to an immigration attorney

Do you have to say you were working there? Could you say something like you two met when you were in the US and staying with a host family? this doesn't sound so bad I think
