Initial K1 filing

[ACGeiger 0]

Hey all,

Just registered today. I wasn't nearly as nervous as asking my fiancée to marry me. On June 15, I was engaged to a very beautiful Swedish girl. We met in school about 2 years ago and have been together since. However, as of Friday, June 19, I had to returned back to the states and she stay in Sweden.

I have two questions:

1. I have the K1 packet with documents including the fallows:

-Payment in the amount of $455 Filling Fee

-I-129F

-I-129F Supplement: Part B, Question 18, explanation of meeting in person

-Original Letter certifying the intent to marry by petitioner

-Original Letter certifying the intent to marry by beneficiary

-Proof of having met, as well as on going relationship including:

• Swedish Newspaper Article Discussing our Relationship

• English Translation of the said Newspaper Article

• Airline Tickets of trip from Copenhagen, Denmark to Amsterdam, Holland

• 15 Color photos of throughout our ongoing relationship dating from Jan 2008 – June 2009

-G-325A and passport style photo for petitioner

-G-325A and passport style photo for beneficiary

Should I include an I-134 affidavit of support with this? Also, I am having a co-sponsor to help, should an I-864 be included in the initial filling or do you wait on this? If you do not have to include initially, would it hurt to include it?

2. Because of the process time and the fact that we have been connected at the hip for the last 2 years, would it hurt if she came on a three month tourist visa while we wait for this process to go through?

No you do not include an I-134 affidavit of support with the initial filing. They will ask for the most current information later in the process.
