Question 1relationship

When and how did you first meet your spouse?

I-130 officers use this to establish the relationship timeline and whether both spouses tell the same basic story.

A strong answer should cover

  • Approximate date or season
  • Place or app/social platform
  • Who contacted whom
  • How the relationship moved forward

If your answer is vague, practice these follow-ups

  • What changed after the first meeting?
  • Who else knew about the relationship early on?
