Bonafide Relationship

[Victor&Cory 1]

This question might have been asked before but I think is easier to have all answers in one post. Or at least be directed to where I can find some answers.

Question #1

This one goes mostly to those who have their visas already. At the moment of the interview....what kind of evidence you brought to prove your relationship? Not amount of them but what kind.

Question #2

Regardless of embassy.....What could cause to have the K-1 denied? Do you know someone that had the visa denied and the cause of it?

I'm really sorry to ask this but my SO asked me the same and could not give her straight answers. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

PEACE...........

I'd suggest that your SO do some reading here on VJ. There are so many different situations and amounts of evidence information needed/presented/requested.

Sadly, there are also many tales of denials. Is she coming through Bucharest? Go to the Europe and Eurasia regional forum to ask others going through that embassy.

Probably the main reason for denial would be if the Embassy/Consulate had reason(s) to believe there was some type of fraud or the K-visa being used as a way of circumventing other immigration methods.

Question #2

Regardless of embassy.....What could cause to have the K-1 denied? Do you know someone that had the visa denied and the cause of it?

I think the Guide shows some pretty good examples of evidence (see Item 7 and examples that follow). http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1guide

We brought...

Email log of all emails, and four each sample emails throughout our relationship

copies of all phone bills and long distance calling card call log

travel documents from 6 visits, plus some receipts and misc.

about 100 photos from all the visits

western union receipts

They LOOKED at exactly four photos and nothing else. But I would bring it all again, who knows what the next guy wants to see. we had a "no questions asked" interview

There are lots of reasons visas get denied and they vary by consulate. Read the forums for all the horror stories. I have not heard Bucharest is particularly difficult. Kiev is known family visa "friendly", or has been until now. Positive test results for illegal drugs is a sure denial thing. They DO test for illegal drugs at the medical exam. Check the consulate reviews for Bucharest.

pertains to the embassy/consulate, so moved from K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures to there

We had a huge briefcase full of evidence, but the CO asked for none of it. He only looked at the forms we submitted at the Embassy stage.

The briefcase contained about 100 pages of printed emails, chat logs, skype logs. Phone records for the past few years. A fat stack of photos. Boarding passes. Addresses from many of the packages we sent to each other in mail. Some postcards and letters. Some receipts. Probably a bunch more things I can't even remember right now.

We wanted to make sure we had anything and everything available, if asked to show more proof. However, none of it was needed.
