K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Pictures	Hi how are you? I met my fiance in the US in 2004 in the USA. She was in the US with a J1 visa. She returned to her country about 2 years later. My question is should I show pictures from when she was in the USA as well eventhough it was more than 2 years ago? nop, they want see if you have met in the last 2 years What should I put in the picutres? Where should I put the pictures in a zip lock bag or paste them in a blank paper? How many pictures is a good number? pictures are secondary evidence, 5 is a good number What if I have my flight itenerary but not my boarding pass is that good enough? Thanks for your response. I really appreciate the help. your itinerary doesn't prove you boarded the flight and any person can do it, IMO, it doesn't work as evidence Primary evidence is hotel receipts, passport stamps, airplane boarding passes, something to show you were together during that time (last 2 yrs)	dakay ?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Medical exam help	Hello I'm pablo from colombia and I'm beneficiary, I'm going to take my medical exam soon and I'm afraid, I have not big healthy problems I am HIV negative and no tuberculosis which I read are the main reasons for a visa deny, but I have high pressure sympthoms and I was check by the doctor and I'm going to begin a treatment and I am taking a deabetes test too, my question is do you think high blood pressure or deabetes can be reason for deny of the fiance visa? I will start a treatment do you think I should take a paper telling them I am in treatment? I am really scare this will make me not get the visa, I would appreciate your help with this. Thanks hi there, high blood pressure and deabetes are not reasons to deny a visa. I do not remember if the doctor in Bogota asks for these diseases, but if you're going to start treatment before the interview, IMO, is a good idea if you bring a paper saying that you're in treatment.	dakay ?
