Recieved RFE

[raisan29 0]

Alright I recieved my first RFE for more evidence of having met in the past year. I can send a copy of my military orders as evidence as the RFE states, but my problem is that I will have no evidence of my fiancee having been in Korea, she worked there for two years and is from the Philippines. After she returned to the Philippines she had to get a new passport and no longer has the old one that had the stamps in it.

Basically, I've come to the realization that I will have to make a trip to PI to visit her, but I'm curious how that works. Will I have to re-submit a visa application and start this whole process over again? Of course I'm going to have her look in every nook and cranny of her house for a shred of evidence she was in Korea during the same time frame, but barring that I'm thinking it's going to get denied:(

Most countries return the old passport with a corner cut off to the passport holder with the new one. Are you sure she does not have the old passport?

If you make a trip to PI to visit her, you will be starting over and filing a new I-129F petition, evidence of meeting needs to be from before the I-129F filing NOT after.

Thanks YuAndDan, I had thought so. The reason for the new passport was because the old one had an incorrect first name. That would probably have raised red flags too, but I did include that name on the application as "Other names used".

have you send photos ..for you and ur fiancee in the place you have met and they still asked for more??if may i ask, what evidence have you sent so far?

[DavidsPrincess 1]

I got an RFE for evidence we had met and I sent in a picture dated AFTER the date of the RFE because he was here at the time. I don't think the proof has to be before the I-129F, honestly.

I sent photos, emails, letters, copies of envelopes mailed back and forth, and phone bills (both landline and cell). What I failed to do was recognize the difference between "proof of having met" and "Proof of ongoing relationship". When I was following the step-by-step procedures here at VJ it grouped both of them together in the box so I didn't realize the BIG difference. Being military I didn't travel using a passport, so no stamps for me, just my orders which I can send with this RFE. Military orders should be added as an example IMO though, I didn't know I could use them.

Maybe contact the airline or travel agency, see if they can provide an travel itinerary or issue a copy of the boarding pass? any chance you might have saved your boarding passes?

Looks from your list that you are missing primary evidence (look up the K1 guide for differences between secondary and primary evidence of having met), hence the RFE.

Good luck,

She has to have some kind of proof she was working there or why she was there. The Philippines has to have some kind of record of her going there

Your fiance can request to have her stamps transferred to her new passports. She have to go get a letter from her Embassy to take it to the Korean Immigration so they can do that.

Thanks everyone. We're attempting to retrieve her old passport/work visa, she left them at her mom and dad's place in Mindanao and they(whole family) are all in Quezon City now. So we'll check into getting stamp transfers, xerox copies etc once her uncle mails them to her. *prays they don't get lost in the mail*

Alright! She got her old passport back. Time to cross my fingers that it's enough and they don't make a big deal about it having a different first name. She called the Korean Embassy there in Manila and they have no idea about doing any stamp transfers.
