Maybe also when they hear our full background on how we met etc, they will realize there is no fraud involved, is not as if we just met and got married.

Re: Got my interview date in the mail
On the video taping aspect, does anyone else have experience on what the USCIS policies are here? Is a little concerning to think that they might be going into our interview with a preconceived view that our case could be fraudulent.
Anyone know if video taping an interwiew (as stated in our letter) definitately means they are looking for fraud?

Is always a worry to think that a USCIS officer might have a preconceived view of our application. By our paperwork alone it should be obvious that we are a legitimate couple (even our age is only 3 months apart
).Thanks again
