K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE!! Help please
You are talking about evidence of meeting in the past 2 years? The passport stamps will be added evidence. Send the pictures and put the date behind and write who is in the pictures and where. What about boarding passes showing that you were there.

Dallas lockbox and they will send it to the appropriate service center. When I filed I sent it to the service center and they re-routed it to the lockbox. I lost a few days for this mistake.

Yes the won't ask for 2012 since it is not the tax deadline. You can order tax transcripts online and it will arrive within 2 weeks usually.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPost NOA-2 Papers Help
I put a cover letter for each category. Proof of ongoing relationship, then I put pictures, emails, skype conversations under this category. Make sure you submit an updated letter of intent to marry. They want to know if you are still interested in getting married from when you first start this process. Organize the paper work in a way that your fiancee can easily locate what they will ask for.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F filed... now what?

Nothing to do right now because you are at the 5-6 month wait time now. Doing paper work now will only mean its 5-6 months old and you will have to redo it later again.

You will get notification in the mail of the case number in the next few weeks, you can then make an account on USCIS and put the case number in to follow any updates.

:thumbs:
And if you paid by check you can track to see if your check is cashed. That way you know that USCIS received your package.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat is the average length of a K1 visa process?

Of course parents want to be with their children. However, simply wanting to be with your child is not grounds for expedite. Not even close.

What's best for you and your family is for you to do the paperwork properly, get ready for their arrival in 8-10 months if everything goes well. That's what's best. Not filing for things you will be denied for. Have you read what meets the requirements for expedite? It's pretty serious stuff. And even people who DO have valid cases still get denied.

You will not be accepted. And that's not me being rude, that's me telling you the truth.

You are correct ... very tough for you to get approved by that time. Wait until you get approved to send out wedding invites. You may have to rescind the invitataions now before folks spend money for tickets and they will be very disappointed.

You can highlight that phone and explain that is was from a magic or similar device.

For your skype video did you type any comments? Also at the end of every session it tells you how long you have been on Skype. Just print out that history which would have the date and how much time spend on each video chat.

Here is a step by step guide on what to fill out for the I-129

http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide


Take pictures with you and her and the family in different settings. Save your boarding passes, hotel, restaurant, atm receipts from the Philippines. Print out form G-325 and have her sign her form while your are there. Also have a letter of intent to marry by her signed while you are there.

Again go to the link http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide and carefully study it. If you do some of the steps while you are there it will save you time, and money. That is what I did.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Denied :(

Hi Mike,

Well, to answer one question ..

Would not providing enough information or documentation result in a denial ? Yes

Exactly the same thing happened to us. Also before we discovered this site we left out our documentation - not intentionally. We sent the rest of our documents off with a copy of the NOA1 (initial receipt) when we received it about a week later - but they didn't match up with the I-129F we had already sent. After 5 months we were denied. We tried to sort it out, but after every effort it came back to the same thing. We had to start again.

I know how you're feeling right now - Looking back, I wish we had just taken a deep breath and followed the Guides on this site and filed a completely new petition as if the first one didn't happen. Ultimately, that was the only answer for us, but we had long delays in between trying to patch things up. Lack of documents is enough of a reason and thats all it took for our denial, so hopefully it will take some of the stress out of the situation for you.

(F)

:thumbs: This experience can give you hope.

If you marry after filing the K-1 then you have to begin the process all over and file for CR-1. The K-1 becomes invalid at the time of marriage.
