Can we believe the officer? What are they really AP us for?

Am I missing something ? According to your post he lied and said he no longer talks to you and the CO told him later that was a lie.

It has nothing to do with not remembering anything.

You both were dating and talking, he said no which was not true according to your own words.

Not that it matters now since the CO is willing to let him slide through anyway.

So enlighten me how that was not a lie ? You are contradicting yourself.

You are confused and looks like you did not read my post to which you are replying. But I will clarify and, hopefully, this post will be read fully.

In 2014, during a tourist visa interview, my husband apparently was asked if he still talks to me, and he said no. That was a lie, because we were dating at that time.

Over time my husband applied for many other visas and went to many interviews. He did not remember what happened at each of these interviews, including a single question in 2014.

In 2016, during an immigrant visa interview, CO brought up the tourist visa case from 2014:"In 2014 you applied for a tourist visa and you were asked if you still talk to her, to which you said no, but that was a lie, correct? Because now you are married to her and your evidence says you two were dating at the time." My husband said he does not remember this question from 2014, and the officer replied that it is written in his file and it did, indeed, happen. My husband agreed that it happened and it was a lie, since he simply did not remember every detail from 2014 and CO had a proof. Interview proceeded as I described in the first post. Later that day we tried to recall every detail from 2014 interview and my husband said he vaguely remembers the incident and has no idea why he said no. Chances are, he did not fully understand the question - his English was lacking.
