Can I do K-1 paperword TOO early

[polarbear 0]

If I understand the question correctly, this is exactly what I did....

I had all the paperwork ready on my end, all the forms filled out, and had informed my SO of the need of the translations,ect. It actually took longer to get the things together on his end, but we didn't need that until the packet 3 anyway. We had agreed to get married on the phone, but hadn't made it "official" yet.

I visited, had him sign the appropriate documents, and left a full set of copies for him. We had met in person before this and I had all the evidence we needed, so I didn't need to add anything to the packet later. You will need to send 1 package right before your interview date with evidence of continuing relationship, but it's only once and it's nothing compared to the amount of money you will be spending on this whole thing anyway

Also, if I'm not mistaken, you must file from the US, not from the Ukraine. There are no documents that you would need to leave with her in the Ukraine at this point. When it gets closer to the interview date there will be, but those documents (proof of ongoing relationship, affidavit of support, etc.) need to be current. Just go meet, get plenty of evidence, have her sign the G325A papers and bring some passport photos of her back with you. It will be months before you need to send anything to her FedEx, and as I stated, those documents will need to be current. Good Luck and Safe Journey.[/color][/b]

You can actually mail the packet from anywhere in the world. But your filing address must be in the United States.

Thanks for correcting me on that!!!

I did not get alot of response to my last topic as it was vague, so i will rephrase...

Is it possible to start this process 3 months before going to Ukraine and then SLOW it down as I make progress, or will it screw up the works

My plan was to follow the timetable guidelines but do it THIS way.

Start the process in February, go as far as I can in the process with certified copies, etc, until such time as I need to use the LADIES info, pictures, etc, then when i hit Ukraine in May and we finally decide to get engaged (99% postive now), then we get her passport photos, fill in the blanks and I will have ll MY copied certified to give her to keep while I head back to USA

Will this work, so that I don't have to be FedEx documents. Where does the STEP that requires pictures of us together and proof, etc come into the process and can I hold up any progress to MY benefit as far as time goes without having to start over?

lets see if this is clearer for everyone involved?

Thanks

You aren't really very clear but if you are simply asking if it's a good idea to complete the paperwork during your visit, so you can file as soon as you return, the answer is yes. Most of us think of filing the petition as the beginning point of the process. Anything before that is "preparation". Preparation is good.
