How the relationship began
Prepare an accurate timeline of how you met, when the relationship became serious, and important milestones. Dates do not need to be rehearsed word for word, but major events should be consistent with the petition.
In-person meetings and travel
Review when and where you met in person, trip durations, who paid, and which family or friends were present. Use travel records and photographs to refresh your memory.
Communication and daily knowledge
You may be asked how often you communicate, which apps you use, languages spoken, time-zone differences, and ordinary facts about your fiancé's work, residence, and family.
Engagement and wedding plans
Explain the proposal or engagement and the practical wedding plan after entry. Plans can change, but your current intention should be genuine and understandable.
Previous marriages and immigration history
Know divorce dates, children, prior petitions, visas, refusals, and other material history for both partners when relevant. Complex histories should be reviewed with counsel.
Financial sponsorship
Understand who submitted the financial support documents and the sponsor's basic employment and household circumstances.
Practice without manufacturing detail
Do not invent romantic details to sound convincing. Genuine couples can remember events differently; accuracy and honesty matter more than identical scripted answers.
Practice checklist
- Verify your dates, organizations, people, and funding against the application.
- Answer the main question in the first sentence.
- Use one relevant supporting fact instead of a long speech.
- Disclose prior travel, relatives, refusals, and other material history truthfully.
- Check current instructions from the embassy or consulate handling your application.
