[Hirudin 21]

Hello Friends,

we dont have any pcitures of us together. What are the chances of passing k1 interview without these thing. I have other proofs though like Tickits, passport stamps, chat, mails, ecards, phone logs etc.

Any cases of k1 approved without pictures together...

Pleas advice

Hey Hiren, if you don't submit pictures now, you will more than likely have RFE (Request for Evidence) when your file goes to an adjudicator for approval. I also did not have pictures when I sent my packet, but I had done a stamp paper signed by a notary showing evidence by witnesses present that we met in person plus your entry and departure stamps plus your tickets and your emails and phone logs and all would be great. Hope this helps.

Each case is unique. Someone else's approval/denial may not have same result for your case. For interview stage, you really have to bring the proof for bonafide relationship. Pictures are most important. Going for interview without pictures is not a good idea. Ask your fiance to visit you and then take the pictures before going for interview.

Thank you so much...

Can you please provide more clarity on

1) Notary thing you did was on US stamp/Indian stamp paper?

2) Number of witness

3)I have all the things that you have mentioned...Did they ask you why there are no pics. Actually mine is arrange marriage so you know girl side will never allow for pics at your first meeting....Though we met 3 different days. But still we cannot take pics rite (you know Indian things). Will they understand this thing.

4) Apart fro this I have pics of bth family members interacting in a social function which needs to be done once both families agreee for marriage (1 Rs coin is exchanged in that)....Will this help?

Hiren,

PM me (email address edited out for security concerns) and I will more than gladly provide you all the documents and lead to the right path. I had the same thing, but mine was more open minded to let me spend time with Dhruvi and all. So message me there and I will give you all the details you need. In the mean time here are the answers:

1.) Get Indian stamp paper Rs. 20 or higher in English stating that you have met your fiancee in person and that the witnesses present during your meeting can sign it. I would suggest members from her family and yours.

2.) I had Dhruvi's two brothers who were witness do that and my aunt who lives here in the U.S. was there at the moment and present so I did her statement here. I can provide you a copy of what it looks like. But at least a two would be great.

3.) You will need pictures I know in arrange marriage situations its highly unlikely if its an orthodox family, but I went to India for 45 days to spend time with Dhruvi and have a formal Indian style engagement with 200 plus people with lots of pictures so that helps too.

4.) Family pictures are useless, its about you two so you and her have to be in pictures together and next to one another. So you need to do something about that, if not down than down the line when your interview or an RFE comes in for more evidence.

Thanks.
