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

Question - Would it be too risky to just send copies of each page of my passport? Am I just begging for an RFE? However, the form clearly states either BC or passport.


Many petitioners have sent a copy of their passport and it has been fine. Just be sure to include copies of ALL pages - even if they are blank.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhich One to Choose... K1 or K3 Visa
If you apply for the K-1 with your fiancee in the US, then no, she does not have to leave automatically, if that is what you are asking. She can stay for the entire lenght allowd by her visitors visa. She would need to return home for her medical and interview though and also to collect all the necessary information. Be sure not to overstay though.

However, would this post help you? Is this the situation that you are in?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAny risk....or not?
Whether or not to risk the flight is completely up to you. Nobody can tell you if you will have a succesful crossing or not as it is entirely up to the customs officer. However, if you do decide to cross, make sure and take as much evidence as you can to prove that you do intend on returning. Many people have taken their K1 information to show that they are going through the process legally. However, because you have no timeline, I don't know how far along in the process you are.

As far as how a possible refusal of entry would affect the petition goes - general consensus is that it does not matter too awful much at the K1 level. How accurate this is, I do not know. Nor am I sure if this will impact anything during the AOS portion. Someone else will have to help you there.

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDeclaration of having met in last two years.
Don't overload them will too many bills and things. Your transcripts will be fine, but what with your flight info from the Summer trip, that's proof enough of what they want to see. Phone bills do not prove having met, so don't bother to include that bit. Credit card spending, or post-marked envelopes can also put you in the same place together. Just try to back up what you write in your statement with photos - then it creates a whole picture.

Good luck.

I think you have a great idea here, but I just aced myself out of your club by mailing in our I-129F packet this morning! :D Hoping I got everything correct, but figured I could pour over it, stress and worry until the end of time... Felt like it was best to just do it, our visajourney has officially begun! (L)

I read somewhere that all pages had to be signed by the petitioner. David initialled and dated all of our evidence papers and all of the attachement/supplement pages. If this was unnecessary, oh well. But I think it was a good thing to do anyway.

Photos are secondary evidence....anything can be created with the right software.....so one needs more than just a passport stamp and a photo to prove an actual meeting took place.


Hmm so what would your suggestion be for the proof to prove that?
Jonny VornMaleCambodia2013-02-06 02:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFacebook Chat---Ongoing relationship

Don't you have some copy of a visa or stamp in your passport? That works.


I actually do. Would that substitute the boarding pass or plane ticket?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFacebook Chat---Ongoing relationship

Hey my friend,

This is what my fiance attached with I-129F packet:-

1. Photos (maybe 10 or something)
2. Yahoo chat conversations (A few pages from each month)
3. Plane tickets (2 times of visiting)
4. Boarding passes (2 times of visiting)
5. Hotel receipts
6. Engagement ring receipt

We received NOA1 in a week, and NOA2 in 76 days without any reference requested.

When the interview date came, we brought more proofs like:-

1. Emails
2. Post Cards
3. Flowers delivery record
4. Express sending record
5. All of our photos
6. More yahoo chat conversations

Tip: US embassy in Cambodia does not accept plane ticket, boarding pass, hotel receipt, engagement letter, and parents consent as the proofs of relationship.
So I suggest you to send everything that you have now to USCIS because they will look everything in the packet that you send.

Hope this help :)


Thank you my friend. It was really helpful and our case seem to be familiar. Are the plane tickets or boarding pass required?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCertificate of Naturalization

We were lucky enough to get approved without sending the back side of my naturalization certificate. You might not get the same luck as we've had so follow the instructions

Good luck on your journey!


Was that the only thing you sent to established the citizenship? Along with the front page of my certification, I also scanned and printed every page of my US passport.
Jonny VornMaleCambodia2013-02-08 20:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCertificate of Naturalization

The information in the instruction/guide is the culmination of many, many people that have already successfully been through their visa journey.

Perhaps the recommendation for the copy of the front and back of the document is to not only show what is there, it could also show what isn't there…..? :content:

Good luck on your visa journey. :yes:


I do believe the instruction and guide which they provide in VJ. I copied the front and back of the certificate but I didn't see anything in the back. I was thinking about scanning it and print it out?
Jonny VornMaleCambodia2013-02-08 20:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCertificate of Naturalization

As was said, some of the stuff you don't need to include in your petition. It won't hurt to include extra, but it will have no bearing on your petition case. The extra fluff will be just going to the embassy for them to review it after your petition is approved. At the same time, you want to send a fairly compact petition that won't take ages to go through because it could prolong the approval process.

As far as how to assemble your petition: use paper clips. Keep like items together with smaller clips, and use a big one to hold everything together. I did this with my petition, and then I went to the post office and slid all my paperwork into a priority mailer and mailed it. It's that simple.


Ah I see. Thank you soo much. I'll apply for my petition today!! Finally got the Journey started.
