Hi All,


Pls. advise if anyone knows, how background check process is performed by Consulate/ NVC in India on the beneficiary (specifically how do they check marital status)?


This is regarding my friend's case. He is currently under F2B petiton and received welcome letter from NVC. (Category -Unmarried child above 21 yrs, his father is Permanent Resident is the petitioner).


My friend (Beneficiary) is Unmarried and above 21, however he is in a Live in relationship. But in a country like India where Live In concept is not that common, everyone (his friends and neighbours) belives that my friend is married which is not the case.


He is concerned about what if Consulate in India or NVC performs background check regarding his marital status on him and ask people there (neighbours/police etc.), they will say he is married which is NOT TRUE.


pls. advise the process and what can be do to avoid this?


Thanks in advance.

Thanks amkhan for the reply.

There are no papers because they were never married.

However, I do want to understand the background check process, how does it work in India? Does Consulate/US embassey officials really go to benificiary's place and find out from people over there?

Can you provide some more details about the background check process in India?

Thanks

As long as you are not legally married, that doesnt matter.

My husband used to be my live in partner for 7years. Initially his petition was F2B. He left last 2012, leaving me with our 6month old baby back then. And now he's petitioning me and our daughter as F2A.

If councilor finds answers inconsistent while interviewing the immigrant, he will put case is AP(administrative processing). If they find him lying then 10 year ban can be impose. Live in relations or marriage or whatever it is, they are not obligated to give you(its not friend) visa if they have reasonable doubt. Immigration officers are very good at reading body language so good luck.

Thanks Jhez.

nilx25.

I completely agree with you. So that means only check regarding marital status is performed at the time of interview ? Is that correct to say?

Also, In case Immigration officer gets doubtful and they conclude that Beneficiary is married (which is clearly not our case), will it affect Petitioner or Joint sponsor?

I am asking as I will become joint sponsor so don't want to take any risk. Do they take any action against petitioner and joint sponsor?

Pls. help,

No action against petitioner or joint sposor because ban is on immigrant but next time if you file for someone else then get ready for tons of red flags by nvc. I would prepare well the applicant with all answers and tell him to be confident at interview. Dressed well and be short and simple in answering. Sorry for being rude earlier as many people say friend of mine has this and that and I like people to be honest because we try to help here only.

Thanks nilx25.

Again, this is not for me, it's for my cousin, I have agreed to become the joint sponsor that is why I am so concerned regarding NVC/consulate's action againt sponsor/joint sponsor.

But I am totally releived with your reply. I think my cousin can proceed with his application without any doubts.

Also, at the time of interview, if officer asks him about his marital status(not sure if they ask this question), should he reply "Single" or "Currently in Live In Relation"?

What do you advise?

Thanks
