hey guys.. i got married by proxy so i filled for fiancee visa for my fiancee back home.. the packet is at the embassy awaiting interview...if asked whether she has ever been married, what should be her response. yes or no and why

since the embassy did not acept it as a real marriage, you should say yes with an explanation bcs they already have you on their system, and when did your case got to Accra, my packet was in Accra last week and i have not heard from them, how long does it take them to give you an interview date,

Hello,

Marriage by proxy is not recognized by the embassy for you to receive an immigration benefit, you should have a strong reason to prove why you both never meet physically.

And you have to be frank with yourself,if you lie and they find out you will have implications that can ban you for entry to USA.

Pray and Good Luck

May God Bless Us All In This New World.We All Have Come From Afar And We Need The Lord's Guidance For Success.

NB:I am not an Immigration Attorney, All i say here is based on my personal experiences through K-1 visa process and CR1/IR1 visa process.

The answer should be on an attachment. You should say that you have had a proxy marriage but that it isn't consumated so that it is not a petitionable marriage. The form tells you to attach an explaination as additional sheets if needed.

Have you seen her in the last 2 years ?

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
