I didn't send anything like wedding invitiations fro my proof! My fiance jsut arrived in the State on July 4th! For the petition, I sent pictures of us together in Manila, I copied all my email chat between us, IM chats, phone bills, letters and gifts i sent overseas (UPS tracking reciepts) as my proof. My petition was approved in 3 months! Don't forget to send the declaration of marriage signed by her and you! As for the interview, I sent my fiance the same copies i used in my petition, but I also included my work information, and finanical statements and update information of our current relationship for the interview process.

In preparation for the interview we have assembled a photo album of our engagement party in Thailand and another with an announcment to my friends and family here along with their cards and email responses. Not sure if it will be helpful, but it certainly can't hurt as it demonstrates that we are a 'public' couple in the eyes of our friends and family.

I also think the questions and proof of ongoing relationship is different at the Embassy if the Beneficiary is Male or Female.

Why would you think that?

[Dave&Roza 748]

I don't know why people keep saying you don't have to prove you have an ongoing relationship but you do need to prove that as well as that you have met within 2 years. I would assume the invitation isn't necessary to send, like the previous post send follow this guide to a T. I made the mistake and just discovered this guide like 3 months after I sent out application and realized that I made a huge mistake! http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide

Because for the petition, the I-129F, all you have to do is 1) prove the petitioner is a USC, 2) that petitioner and beneficiary have meet in person within the last 2 years (unless they qualify for the exemption), 3) that both petitioner and beneficiary are free to marry, and 4) that both petitoner and beneficiary have the intent to marry within 90 days of the beneficiary's entry into the US. That is it. There is nothing about whether the relationship is legit at this stage. That is for the visa application at the Embassy/Consulte and each and everyone is different. Most people at VJ do recommend that you pre-load the petition with relationship evidence and add to it at the Embassy stage. However, the bare minimun required by the I-129F is to meet the four requirements listed above.

A wedding invitation does show that you have the intent to marry, but given the processing times it is hard to set a firm date. The letter of intent you sign stating you will marrying within 90 days carries the same weight IMHO. It is up to you how much relationship information to include at this stage. You could wait until the petition is approved and have an interview date before setting a wedding date and including that in the proof at the interview. I would not send it in now as the timing is so uncertain.

Good luck,

Dave

Is YOUR name correct?!! That is the most important thing. The airlines, CBP and everybody else will not care what the name of the petitioner is as he will not be present to show an ID. It is your name on the visa that must match the name in the passport and on the airline ticket or there will be problems.

Relax and have a safe flight,

Why would you think that?

That is a whole different thread. But, in a nutshell, if you are an older female sponsoring a younger male in the middle east higher fraud countries, it is most certainly scrutinized. There are a plethora of reasons, but the first they would say is because it is out of societal norm for that country. Religion would play a part to that answer also.

Let's say in another country, it is a country known for young females to be victimized and used for prostitutes (or slaves), and the petitioner is a male, then that particular scenario would be under scrutiny.

It's not too hard to see that the statement about "I also think the questions and proof of ongoing relationship is different at the Embassy if the Beneficiary is Male or Female." is on the spot. It just is. But, if the relationship is real, there is not any problem proving that. Because we do the things that all other couples do. We talk, we have pictures together when we visit, we meet the families, we send cards.. etc....

I see what you are saying. I thought the statement that person made was too general and not applicable to all situations. That's what I was getting at by asking the person why they thought gender would be an issue, it's not on it's own, which is what they stated.

As you state, there are many reasons for different questions/more scrutiny: if people met online as opposed to in person, if there is a significant age difference, if the couple have never lived together, if they apply after a very short relationship, if the religions are different, or simply the country in which they apply from. There are many factors which impact the questions that are asked at the embassy. Gender does not automatically mean a difference in questioning.
