But What About Now

[Wrenly 0]

Hi, I've been lurking around here for a bit reading the goods the bads and the uglies of this whole K1 process. My boyfriend is a UK citizen, we aren't engaged yet, but everything is definitely headed that way. Are there things we should be doing or saving now that will save us any pain and stress when we start the process? Should we start now saving communications or is it too soon for them to "count."

Thanks for being here, and all the best to all of you!

I can't see why it wouldn't count, it would show a continuation of the relationship etc. I'm not sure though, our I129F has just been approved so I'm unsure pretty much about the rest of the process...I just hate the idea of the time its going to take....I'm sure someone else can answer your questions better than me!

Good Luck!

It's never too late to start gathering proof of your relationship... boarding passes, passport stamps, phone logs, e-mails, any chats that you have, any snail mails or care packages that you've sent to eachother, all count... USCIS wants to see proof that you've met within the past two years, and the consulate wants to make sure that you've had an ongoing relationship.

Please check the K-1 guides for processing times

Agree with Iceyspots start gathering your evidence now so you have everything you need by the time you submit your application

Thanks to everyone who responded. I've been feeling the great bond you all have and I'm anxious to be a more active part of this community once I've got that ring on my finger.

No need to wait until you have a ring on your finger to join in. The more you know, and the earlier you know it, the better.

If it's any help, doing the I129f/K1 process from the UK is generally pretty painless, relatively speaking.

Thanks! From what I've been reading it's that "relatively speaking" that'll get you every time.

Wrenly - there's a lot of us here with UK partners - my fiance and I have really really benefited from VJ. People are really good about sharing the Embassy experience down to what hotels in London are close to the medical appt offices and embassy.

GOOD LUCK!
