i'm the petitioner (USC), here is our experience with the process from the beginning.........

last time we met was Aug 2011, spent the whole time in Philippines from Aug 2011-Jan 2012 with her, then Jan 2012 i have to come back to US, to work and start the process, I searched about getting my GF here and found alot of choices, at first i called FilipinaFianceVisa, they said everything will cost me almost $2000, so i said forget it, i searched again and found VisaJourney, i spent a whole week reading comments, post, threads about K1 process and the married one, after those readings i talked to her about what i read, she said "i'm here to help you out", so there it is, i started the process, February 1, 2012, gathered all the Documents from my side, (US Passport, Naturalization, Birth Certificate, Parents Naturalization, Parents Passports, Divorce Decree, you name it everything that has to do with me), then the next day i told her to gather everything too. then After a week, i followed the steps on here, the K1 Visa guides, K1 Steps, i FOLLOWED STEPS BY STEPS, filled out I-129f online, G-325A online, sent her a copy, she printed out and sent to me with her original signature, then i finished all the required Documents while i was waiting, then off to finalizing the package, this is what in the package i sent to USCIS,:

-Check for $340

-Notification Paper

-Table Of Contents

-I-129F

-G-325A for me with my SIGNATURE, and her with her SIGNATURE

-Letter of Intent, one for me with signature and her with signature

-copy of my WHOLE PASSPORT, from front cover to back cover

-copy of my naturalization

-copy of my Divorce decree

-boarding pass, pictures of me and her 15 pieces of pictures, NO TIME STAMP, i wrote our WHOLE NAME, Place where the Pic was taken, date on the back of every single photos i sent, we have pictures kissing together, about 5 of them.

-skype logs, fb chats, yahoo emails,

****i went above and beyond with our packet, FRONT LOADING is what i read i think**

then i check, check, check then checked again, then had my mom checked it, then my friend checked it, then i checked it again, then after checking maybe for a week, i still missed something on G-325A, from me and on her, so i have to wait again for her new G-325A, then again check n check again, a lot of checking. then finally her G-325a came in and all good to go, did the final check and everything looks good,

SENT our PACKAGE APRIL 4,2012, then from there, NO MORE CONTROL AND IT's in GOD's Hand, a week later NOA1, then After that 4 months Later AUGUST 17 2012, receive a text from USCIS, APPROVED..NO RFE.. then 1 week later it was sent to NVC, then to USEM, then it was time to schedule her Interview, SCHEDULING INTERVIEW WAS A PAIN TOO, during that time there was no available date but i was calling every hour, i MEAN EVERY HOUR, then i finally got a date OCT 4, then Sep 24&25 medical interview for her, passed, then for me it was time to buy ticket nd fly to Philippines for her INTERVIEW, i brought with me, i-134 and letter of employment from 2 jobs dated 2 weeks prior to the interview, lots of fb chats, skype logs, yahoo emails, and skype photos, original divorce decree. and all the ds, ds156, ds156k, ds157

USEM INTERVIEW

You need to sign your G-325A and your Letter of Intent to Marry. Send the originals to your fiancé, and keep a copy of each for yourself. Also, send some U.S.-style passport photos to your fiancé.

You don't need to sign the I-129F.

If you haven't already, you should read the VJ Guides for K-1'ers. They are very helpful: Link to K-1 Guides.
