I have recently been reading the forums and have heard this maybe a problem?

Right now, my petition has been accepted and we are at NVC. We really front loaded the petition with evidence. We are similar cultures and background. The biggest difference is music tastes to be perfectly honest!

Will this cause much of a problem at the interview, will the officer need more proof?

And her name is Kristin? Nobody seventy-four years old is named Kristin. More like Jean, Nancy, Alice, Mary, Linda, Christine, Cynthia.... That's why I think Bruce Jenner picking Caitlin as a new name is kinda off. That's a young person's name. Are you pulling a prank here?

Will your difference in taste of music be a problem? I sincerely doubt it.

Can I assume that you are the one immigrating? I might be a bit skeptical of the validity of the relationship if I was interviewing you as the intended immigrant. But that's just an opinion who knows...

Actually, I know a lady called Kristin who is presently 87. I also have a niece who is 11 and is called Ruby.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Going slightly off-topic but Ruby is quite popular here now. A lot of old names are back in fashion - George, Alfie, Archie, Harry and I have seen a few Florences too.

I don't believe the OP's claim.
