Bill and Vicky probably didn't realise the fiance petition has that question on it. I don't think they were telling OP to give incorrect information, just don't volunteer what isn't asked. And since it IS asked, then there's no problem telling them. If the US government wants to know something, they'll ask you and you'll answer correctly and truthfully.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

Hey everyone, I have a situation that might be a little rare. I'm trying to bring my fiancé over from Lebanon but there's a small issue, she's my second cousin. I know it's allowed in all 50 states in the us but I'm afraid that they may deny us because they'll scrutinize us excessively and not believe we're second cousins. Anyone have a experience with this? Any advice regarding what we can do to improve our chances of being approved? Should we send any particular documents? I'm kinda desperate and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch in advance.

Be honest, they dont make a big deal. Just make sure you live in a state where it's legal to marry a cousin. Provide sufficient evidence that both of you are in love.
