K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWHAT? do I need my passport??
QUOTE (ZeeNusah @ May 7 2008, 06:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
The petitioner needs to prove that they are a USC in one of the following ways:

1. US passport
2. Birth certificate
3. Naturalization certificate

Any of the 3 will be enough.

The point is that, it is A LOT better to read the instructions on each form and guides carefully and then ask any questions that you may still have. Believe me, once you understand them and learn about the whole process you will feel at more ease and more secure about this journey you are about to start. good.gif

Read them over and over if it is necessary, once you really understand them you'll realize is not that complicated.

Your use of disconnected pronouns results in your question making no sense. Can you include what on what? You can use any address you choose.

Be careful not to over-think things. The forms ask for an address. Give the address of the person. Keep it simple.


Maybe the person is dyslexic.


thank you I am

I want to know if I KNOW i need to put the PHYSICAL address on the form for the 1-129f

HOWEVER we do not want them to mail it to his PHYSICAL address due to others opening his mail.
CAN we send a SEPERATE sheet of paper on where to mail it SO it can arrive in his PO BOX???

Hi,just a few questions...1st. I am waiting for my fiance's G-325A forms in the mail whistling.gif She used EMS international world-wide postal courier network...has anyone heard of it? I have the tracking number,but nothing comes up for it...it was mailed 5 days ago express and my fiance e-mailed me a copy of the recipt so I know I have tracking number right. It was mailed from the Philippines. 2nd. I have read in the forms some examples on how to assemble the I-129f package and seen some photos put together on the same page...I like the look..but will they except photos put together like that or will they want them like stated in the guides...I think it said separate photo's with dates and location written on the back? The photo's all on one page was a cleaner look..was it done on MS word? As all my photo's were taken with my digital camera. 3rd. Last but not at all least WE just found out WE are pregnant kicking.gif I am 40yrs old never married and no kids...Geraldyn and I are very,very excited,she just had the first visit with her doctor and all is going well...but the doctor is saying no traveling. I know from reading the forms and looking at time lines that it is a 50/50 chance to get approved before or after the baby is born....God willing biggrin.gif My question is...on the I-129f it asks to name any children she has that will be traveling with her? What do we put? We want to file now to try and lessen the wait...but I have not found any information on petitioning while being pregnant helpsmilie.gif Any information would be greatly appreciated,We thank you All good.gif Attached File  my_trip_to_phillipinnes_197__3_.jpg   705.25KB   20 downloads



EMS is the express courier service of the Philippine Postal Services, it supposed to be express delivery but it depends on what province in the Philippines the mail come from. I used that service also before and it took more than a week to reach my Fiance. So hang on there and you will have it in few days.

About the Photos, i suggest that you paste the picture in a bond paper and put the caption on it. You can put 2 or more pictures in one bond paper depending on the size of the picture. You can do it in MS Word or in Photoshop just don't edit the pictures and use the Photo Printer for better picture quality.

Congratulations! Im sorry i can't answer you about the pregnancy and baby thing, i sure there's someone here can answer your questions.


are you in an age gap relationship to?? I am in one and love it...

wanted to wish you a HUGE GRATZ on the baby!! I cant wait till I can have another to LOL

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about Proof

QUOTE (Bitsy @ Jul 23 2008, 06:27 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Okay so. My fiance and I are a little puzzled about proof. He's come to visit three times, and I went over there once, but we no longer have an itineraries from this and who knows where the boarding passes are. However, the last time he was here he stayed the entirety of the 90day visa waver. Would copies of his & mines passport stamps and his bank statements(he withdrew money over here on four occasions throughout his stay) be good enough? We have very few photos of us, and the ones we do have aren't very good in quality. We also chat online nearly everyday and I phone him multiple times a week. Would copies of my phone bills and our emails help as well? I don't want to get a RFE and delay things longer. Thanks!

From what I understood, primary proof are passport stamps and boarding passes while pics are secondary proof. Anyways, I think if you have passport stamps (where you can read the dates pretty well) and bank statements and 3/4 pics of you two together, you should be good to go...I don't think quality of the photo is very important...hope I could help! =)



Maybe see if you can get records from the airlines for that past flights OR the travel agency..not sure if they do that BUT worth a shot

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarrying on B-2 visa and HB returning home??
I thought most places that you want to get your marriage lisence TO marry required an id card from the U,S and a possible social security. I know in my state you have to have a US id card to show

Why do this?? Honestly you will be waiting LONGER marrying on the b-2 visa for the k3 visa...I have heard many people waiting longer then the normal wait period of the fiance visa!
so why not go with the fiance visa and do it the legal way so you wont have so much red tape.

Kai and I thought about doing that but after reading the horror stories we said NOPE..we love each other and this short period of time is NOTHING compare to all the red tape we would have to go through!

So denied for admitting to crimes involving moral turpitude? How recent was this? It appears a 10 to 15 year rehab period is required.


From what a lawyer told me, this is a complex situation because it involves some gray area like "he said this / she said this". It's going to be hard to prove. Just wanted to see what others think.

Tnx every1 for the replies. No one including the congressman made any promises to me or my fiancee. Thankfully we have a lot of support from family and friends, and thats how we got a referral, but once again with no promises made. And just to clear things up, although we only filed out papers in June, we have been apart much longer than that. It took us a few months to decide on the k1 and decide on a good lawyer. Our whole process has been based on a lot of research, at the end of this we will both know we tried everything to be reunited as fast as possible. I appreciate all the feedback.



sweetie My fiance and I been apart 1 year and 5 months now. YES it sucks but in the end it will be sweet. Most people who get a lawyer will have the SAME waiting period as those who do it on their own. Just because he or she has a law degree does not make it go faster. There are some folks on here who used a lawyer and are waiting JUST as long as us folks who did it on our own...best bet sit and wait and visit while ya all wait for this k1 visa

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat age gap
QUOTE (Mrs.J06 @ Sep 25 2008, 08:44 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My husband is 16 years older than I am. We did not have any problems whatsoever in any step of our visa journey, and we were both married before.

From a personal point of view I think this age difference is pushing it. I could not image having a 20+ years age gap. But that's my personal experience, quite a few people here have huge age gaps and seem to be fine.

When we started dating I was almost 30. Big difference to dating a girl in her early twenties, believe me!



true BUT I am in a 21 year age difference BUT he is more mature then my ex who was 11 months older then me. It depends on what the younger person has experienced to. My fiance has experienced things that no one his age should have. Abuse will either make you grow up faster OR it will retreat you. He grew up faster (I will not go into details of his past as it is a harsh horrible story)

I have seen younger people who have it 100% together and older people who do not..SO depends as not all younger women or men are immature:)

I have seen people get visas with a 20+ age difference so if he can prove it is full legit then I see no issue...AGE is JUST a number:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat age gap
Wow Some people are extremely immature in their answer.
I have been with a younger man for over 2 years and it is the best relationship I have ever been in.
Just because you are closer in age is NOT a guarantee it will work any better then if the partner is older

There are MANY and I mean MANY age gap relationships that are working and many are together for over 10 to 20 some years. I find it CHILDISH that some bonehead will make a rude comment about a couple who are in love.
Every relationship I was in with someone my age FAILED AND it was the most boring, abusive relationships.
I am not saying because they were closer to my age they will be abusive; BUT that was the case for me.

I would love to invite EVERYONE over to AGELESSLOVE. It is a support site for older women/younger men
Older men/younger women AND even same sex that are in age gap relationships.
YOU WILL FIND TONS of us on there that are in working relationships.
AGE GAP SUPPORT...agelesslove

My relationship works JUST like any other relationship. I did not CHASE him; nor am I a cougar. He chased me. I get SICK of the cougar term to. There are only a HANDFUL of older women who are COUGARS, most of us get pursued by the younger man. I can also tell you I have see many younger men who have had bad relationships with younger women because they were to immature for them (same goes the other way)
IT IS A PERFERANCE...IF you like an older person to share your life it is NO ONES BEESWAX. Who gives a ####### what other moronic closed minded people think. Why should WE be judged? We are normal people who just love someone older or younger.

IF the two people ARE consenting adults OVER the age of 18 then it is; LIKE I said, NO ONES BUSINESS, It is not families business or friends who can tell you who to date, THAT is YOUR choice.

In the end it is YOUR relationship and if you are happy then GO FOR IT!!

We are and so far so good it is truly the best and most amazing relationship I have ever been in. I feel 100% blessed to have this man in my life and I look forward to spending the rest of it with him (OH and if your concerned about CHILDREN...THAT is already taken care of)

PS I know many on that agelesslove site WHO have received the fiance visa AND marriage visa...SO do not sweat it....IF it is a legit relationship AND you can prove it..YOU will be okay..I welcome you to the site I posted for support in age gaps....also JUST ignore the ignorant folks. They have no real idea what it is about:) also many folk HAVE DIVORCED...some more then once AND received a visa...

Due to who we are and the lives we've led, everyday is an effort to just stop ourselves from breaking down. It's just these past weeks that have been the most difficult.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy fiance has unused and expired K1 visa and in the process of applying B2 visa
EEEK I just have to say I would not even bother with the b2 visa and just redo the fiance visa. It will be a HUGE issue with them because of that K1 visa and I really think your fiance was denied BECAUSE of the k1 visa issue.
This will only continue and I can see it being a waste of time, money and heartache to even try it.

Not trying to sound like a meanie and it is none of my beeswax; but why did he not finish up those projects BEFORE the k1 was even started??? Sounds to me like you both wasted all that time and now are missing out on a beautiful life together:(sad.gif



hope it goes good for you though and will keep you in my thoughts

You should put the SSN, I have a SSN and worked with authorization while I was in USA (I studied). I had no problems, no RFE, nothing and I got the visa.....it's better to put everything, they will find out eventually....good luck!!!


Great, thanks!! Now if only he could find his number... hahaha. smile.gif

I wish people wouldn't pass judgement on someone just because she's trying to do this with her heart AND her head. I did the same thing myself, used my heart and my head, not because I didn't trust my partner.. but because I wanted to look logically at all of the aspects before making such a big decision and leaving my previous life behind.

As someone said THERE IS NO WHAT IFs. If you trusted him 100% there would be no questions of what if he does this or that. What If I am deported. what if what if. If you trust him 100% you would not be thinking ANY what ifs ecspecially about him divorcing you.


Comments such as this are, in my opinion, naive.. you have to know that just because you would finally be together with your loved one, things aren't going to be "happily ever after".. there is ALWAYS a chance that a marriage might fail and it usually happens to the person that doesn't expect it. There is nothing wrong with looking ahead at her options should her marriage not work out.

Let's face it, how many times has someone posted here when their marriage breaks down, asking if there's a way to stay in the US after divorce? Were they simply not "trusting" their partner? As much as I agree that you should trust in your relationship and in each other that you'll work things out, I don't agree that there is no such thing as a "what if?" In fact, we should know by now that there is always a what if in immigration; what if I can't get granted a tourist visa, what if I am denied entry at POE, what if I can't see my love for the entire process, what if our application is denied, what if I can't make enough money to support him/her, what if we face problems in the future - and yes, what if it doesn't work out. All reasonable thoughts.

To the OP.. I suggest you look at the guides first. You could get married wherever you wish, but the type of visa is different depending where/when you choose to do so. There are options for you if you entered the marriage in good faith and it didn't work out.


I was NOT passing judgement had you read it properly you would have understood that I was saying IF she has issues with the what ifs then WAIT. Like another poster stated ..get the things you want FIRST out of the way before you make a full blown commitment. Rose colored glasses do come off and then the reality hits.
YES she is loving her man and YES she is smart enough to be thinking about these issues. MY POINT WAS that IF she is thinking about these issues and saying a ton of what IFS then she does not need to get married just yet.
There was a question of trust. SO therefore it was far from naive my friend.
I was IN HER SHOES 2 times and I cant tell you how many times I wish I would have stated the what ifs INSTEAD of wearing the rose colored glasses and thinking that it was a fairytale

NOT once did I say her thoughts were unreasonable. whistling.gif mad.gif blink.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI need your help......
Hi first let me introduce myself, Im from Thailand, im a fashion designer and im 24. My boyfriend lives in California he is 25. We met last year in Dec.2007 and ever since we still contacting each other (long distance relationship). In May 2008 he send me a plane ticket to go visit him and our relationship sort of elevated from there. He did ask me to marry him so that we can be together but it was too sudden and I was a little skeptical. Now I realized that I want to be with him, because we survive many months of not seeing each other and that have proven to me that we have a strong foundation. He will come and visit me in Jan 2009.

You were not sure about saying yes on your visit and to sudden I agree BUT it sounds like you are still not sure what you want.

At first i was going to go there using a tourist visas and see what it would be like with him there. So if everything went well, we will get married there and then apply for the K1 visas. I must admit although we knew each other for only a year, but I do trust him. But the future is uncertain, if he ever decided to divorce me or some terrible thing happen, I hope not, where does that leave me and how do i deal with it? I feel like I should plan ahead of the worst thing that can happen. The last thing I want is being deported, because I secrefied my dream job here. I don't want to go back home divorced and unemploy. The thing that scares me the most is the complicated processes will drift us apart. So I would like to know what is the best way to approach this situation

As someone said THERE IS NO WHAT IFs. If you trusted him 100% there would be no questions of what if he does this or that. What If I am deported. what if what if. If you trust him 100% you would not be thinking ANY what ifs ecspecially about him divorcing you. You are not even married and you are thinking about that. I honestly do not think YOU are ready at all to let go 100% of your life there and be with him in the USA. I do not think you are ready because your thrust level is not that high. (it may be high BUT it is not 100%)
You have only been together a year and this is called the honeymoon phase. Many people get married within the 1st year of dating and many do divorce that do this (no no NOT ALL DO but most)
IF you love each other THAT much this complicated process is NOTHING compared to a lifetime of happiness with your loved one. IF you are THAT in love it should not bother you. I say wait it out a while, your relationship is still new and if you have doubts, then DO NOT DO IT YET!!!

I understand you must be smart..and this is the time to think about these things YES..BUT if the love was 100% strong you would not be stressing and worrying SO much about it. I think you need to wait like I said and visit THEN once those doubts are gone THEN go for it


Best wishes
