I-129F Petition and Social Media

[ToNhi 3]

Hi! I have a question about social media. DS-160 Form will ask for social media handles and identifiers from my fiancée. Since USCIS officers can only see posts/information that are set to "Public Only", will it be a problem if they don't find any evidence of a relationship. My fiancée and I try to live pretty private lives and only set our romantic posts, photos, and relationship status to "Friends Only" or not at all. We just send photos and posts to one another through private chat messages anyway (everything saved on our phones and computers). 

For evidence of a relationship, we will bring a ton of evidence to the Consular interview instead since Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City Consulate) is a tough nut to crack. 

Thanks!

Not an issue, we were/are the same way (do not like posting on social media). I believe the social media section on DS-160 is more for security/background check purposes rather than relationship evidence.

Proof of a relationship is not something that is determined in the petition phase

@IWander Thank you! So bringing evidence to the Consular interview stage should be sufficient?

Consulars are not obligated to look at any carried in evidence but at your stage about the only option you have.

We interviewed successfully yesterday at HCM.  They did not look at one single piece of evidence we brought.  It was not at all what I was expecting.  Follow Pkt3 for document preparation and you'll be fine.  Obviously not every case is the same but it was not unpleasant in the least for us.

Don’t worry about the socials at all! I think it could only hurt you if you’re posting things on there that could incriminate you or make you non eligible for the visa. (Example: already married to someone else, criminal activities, terroroistic posts etc.)
