is this a willful misrepresentation?? plz help

[Joe_2012 0]

I'm married to USC and soon is my CR1 visa interview, but the problem is that last summer i was in usa based on B1 visa (tourist 1 entry) to visit my friend(her cousin), after that in x-mas i requested another B1 visa for the same reason, the OP asked me during the interview if i was single (my answer was : yes),gf? (my answer was :NO) and then she smiled to me and told me to return few days later to collect my visa and passport, wasn't my intention to lie or hide the trust but i was confused since our relationship back then was really complicated since her family don't accept a bf/gf relationship neither accept the engagement without the presence of my family (traditional families from middle east )

so my question is that is this consider a willful misrepresentation ? if yes is it serious since i didn't overstay or misused my visa

How soon after this trip did you get married? But she WAS your GF back then?

9 months, she was my best friend and were in love but i never touched her and you have to understand that in our culture it's not acceptable for a girl to have a bf so we never say we are bf/gf

What culture is that if i may ask

I guess I don't get it...were you or were you not married at the time you got the last visa?? If not, then you were single, and all is OK which is what is implied here. single means NOT MARRIED...it has nothing to do with girl friend, engaged, and so forth.

no i wasn't married at that time, i was single , but i'm worry because i didn't mentioned my relationship with a USC during the b1 visa interview, can this be used as misrepresentation and cause a problem in my CR1 visa interview?

absolutely not...you truthfully answered the questions you were asked

but let's say someone have a fiancee (USC) and the OP ask him if he have a gf, his truthfully answer should be" no but i have a fiancee" but if he answer by no only he's hiding the truth right?

you are making this way too complex...the question apparently was "are you single" There was nothing to hide--the answer is NO--period--end of story--stop worrying

well, maybe I shouldn't be so adamant. You were single, and you had a woman friend who you eventually married but was not your girl friend in your culture, but in the US would be deemed a girl friend, so it isn't black and white. The odds of it coming up in the interview are exceptionally small and even if it does, you returned home and played out the entire CR-1 process, so there shouldn't be any problem at all

Joe the question is if she was the same person who sent you an invite on B1 visa and she is de same person you got married to after 9months and you were askd if u had a girlfriend and you said NO,then i see a red flag comin ya way cos they would if you lied to them,cos between that period she qualifies to be ya gf or fiance and also every answer you giv during a B1 interview is key into their computer for reference. The gud tin you did well was wen askd if you were single you said Yes. But if she was not the one who gave you the invite for your first trip etc then you are cool. But dont worry this is a minor red flag,it could be over looked during ya interview. Just prepare ok. My interview is in dec. Hit me up. Am in TM

Oh My husband was the one who give me the invitation letter for B1 visa as well. We got married 9 months later after I got my B1B2 visa, but at the b1 visa interview they didnt ask me if I am single or not. I dont know whats gonna happen at my interview either.
