Met my spouse through my mom

[Karay 6]

Hello everyone,

 

I was wondering if meeting my spouse through my mom and his aunt a red flag? We are going through a high fraud country. My mom and his aunt are friends. Does anyone here have a similar experience? Thanks!

Shouldn't be an issue. Common red flags would be: large age gap (particularly the woman significantly older than the man), only a couple short visits, significant religious/cultural differences, etc

It really shouldn’t be a problem. I’d think it’d even be a good thing then since your families know each other.

Actually, depending on the circumstances, this can be a very bad thing, or a non-issue.  From Ghana or a number of other high fraud countries, family members arranging a fake marriage for immigration benefit only is a very common fraud scenario.  The full story and the real facts, along with how it is presented in an "evolution of relationship letter" will make all the difference.  This is not something to ignore, or really to deal with based on the advice of those inexperienced with this specific kind of case.

No, I don’t think 5 years is really a significant gap, shouldn’t be an issue
