Previous tourist visa interview and CR1 interview

[684117 15]

Hello Members, 

 

Just out of curiosity, 

 

I was interviewed back in 2011 and approved for a tourist visa that expired in 2016, As I remember the interview was fairly short and I was asked the normal questions, of which was for how long I was travelling and the purpose of travel, I did answer that I was going for about 21 days (Which I did) and that I was visiting some friends, sightseeing, and roam around. 

 

Back in the same year I met my USC girlfriend (now wife) in the country I was working, and when I went to USA I was hosted by her family for around a week and spent some time with her. 

 

In the evidence provided to USCIS, We did submit pictures of my visit in 2011. 

 

 

Could that have an effect on my IV interview? ( Stating I was visiting friends, when later I saw my GF and her family?) 

 

Please note that I have also used the B1/B2 visa over 7 times in the past  5 years and always visited her family, never over stayed or never breached the visa law.

You weren't married at the time, and a girlfriend IS a "friend", so there may be a comment about it but it won;t affect your case negatively, especially as you never overstayed or otherwise miss-used it.
