To be honest, i really don't know if it's legal in the state where i live. I live in Florida. A lot of people said in this forum that it IS legal in the state of Florida, but i'm really not sure. Where can i found this out?

We were married in Iran. we have a marriage certificate and everything. We have applied for a IR1/CR1 visa, and are now in the process of the NO2 stage. I will definitely take everyone's advice about being honest at the interview. I reallyyyyyyyy hope everything goes well, and I hope that noone asks anyway. .

Thank you everyone for all of your advice. At least it calmed me down for the time being. i will always be nervous. I can't wait to start my life with him! Good luck to all!!

Well, we both want to finish school. So it wasn't a complete lie that he wanted to be a student. But, the main reason was for him to be close to me. Would this be an issue? I just hope and pray that noone asks. Thanks everyone! Good luck to all!

Thank you everyone. I don't mean to annoy anyone with my worries

I'm just very nervous.

Thank you. This is exactly what i am worried about! He did go and apply for a student visa twice to be with me! I told him to do this because i thought we were too young to get married then. Now we are married. We have been married for over 1 year now. We have a lot of evidence that we were together even when he applied for a student visa. Would this help?? Should i be worried for being cousins and him applying for a student visa twice in the past?

U are awesome. Thanks.

We were married in Iran. We have applied for an IR1/ CR1 visa. Thank you so much for your reply!!!

Thank you. We are maternal first cousins. In the state of florida, i believe it is illegal. What should we do? We already have our case filed.

Thank you. We are from Iran. I hope this helps.

Thank you again!

Any info will help!

Thank you so much for your replies. I am still very nervous that (God-forbid) we will be denied for this.

What happens if God-forbid we are denied because of this?

Does that mean we can never be together? (God-forbid---I don't even want to think about it

Yes, you can admit you are cousins. In fact, if you lie, you will most certainly be denied, so you must admit you are cousins.

Thank you. I've heard that if you DO admit you are cousins, you will (God-forbid) certainly be denied because it is against the law. Is this true??

did you admit you are cousins in your interview?

how can i be sure?

i'm very nervous!

thank you so much!!!!!!

Hi All,

I am a US citizen and my husband is a foreign citizen.

The question here is this---my husband is my cousin. In our foreign country, if there are no genetic issues, then we are legally married.It wasn't planned, we just fell in love. We have been in a relationship for 6 years---(I went to see him every year, lots of e-mails, phone calls, etc). I was the type of person who NEVER thought i would marry my cousin. I was born and raised in the US. We love each other dearly.

I am nervous that at the embassy, when they ask if we are related, what should he say??

He applied for a student visa two times, and both times he was denied. (i told him to apply for the student visa because that could be a way for us to be together--we were too young to get married).Now, I am 24 and he is 25. On one of his student visa applications, he wrote that he is going to live with his aunt in the US (he wrote down my US address).

When asked why he applied for a student visa, what should he say? And if they (god-forbid) look further and ask him why the US address he used for his student visa (the one he said he would live with his aunt) is the same US address for his wife, what should he say??

I am sorry if i have confused anyone. I love my husband dearly, and we have been together for almost 7 years now. PLEASE HELP! Thank you!
