I do appreciate the help, but Im not sure if I'm explaining it correctly. These aren't friends that I had and then I introduced her to them, or vice versa. The whole reason we met was because we made the same friends at different times through different mediums. So most of these people were both of our friends way before we even met each other. Which is what makes this part confusing for us.
Then just put whoever met the person first and explain the situation on a separate sheet.

Again, you are overthinking this.

Ultimately it's up to you, but that particular form/section of the application is designed to list people who were introduced to your spouse ~after~ you met them.
That section is to show that other people know of the relationship, not that they were introduced after the relationship started.

I was going to stick to family members since there isn't even enough space for all of our combined immediate family. My issue is do we combine parents to fit more people on or just end up with 4 parents and pick a sibling?

ok fair enough. Thank you for the explanation. This definitely makes this section a little more straight forward now that we understand the purpose for it.

We appreciate the help!
Hi,

I know its been more than a month since you posted this but I am having a similar problem and was wondering what did you end up putting down for this question? My husband and I went to high school together (a very small school where everybody knew everybody) even though we only started dating 10 years later. Most of my best friends are from high school so they were never "introduced" to him after my husband and I started dating. They all already knew each other from HS. I've of course listed family members but wanted to list some close friends as well. Also how long was your list? How many people did you mention?

What we did was basically fill out the form with people like parents, siblings, etc. We then added an extra sheet with more people that fit the actual question where one of us met the friend/etc after we started dating. And then on top of that we wrote a little explanation and added another little section listing close mutual friends and when we both met those mutual friends. Not sure if that makes sense, but I figure more info is better than less.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

we are currently working on this form and have doubts about whether or not to include an extra sheet with all the people we have met from each other's families and friends (a lot of them).
Is it worth it or does the CIC just want to see we can fill those 5 spaces on the form?

Also, the question about the date; wouldn't thay be askinh about the date they met 'the other person'? Eg. When my mom met my partner? When I met his dad? Etc...

Thanks!

Hello,

I am stuck to this question. The spaces are only for 5 people and I don't know if I should put both parents or 5 friends? Or add everyone that knows us and just add a separate sheet?

I'm confused there-- not when they introduced after the relationship started? Or got introduced after the relationship started?

Pick whoever you want. If they wanted you to list everyone, there would be unlimited spaces. List 5.

How many should we put in this part? Should we put all the immediate family of both sides? And a number of friends?
Or can we just pick a family member on each side and few friends?
Any advise? Thanks.
