How much relationship details did you include in your K1 petition?

[niniel71 0]

I'll be sending my 129f form in hopefully sometime this week. My question is: Since basically the only question they ask about your relationship is how you've met in person during the past 2 years, did anyone else include any other details. Like how and when you initially met (mmorpg in our case), etc. Guess I'm asking do i need to send them the detailed history of our relationship or just say yep we met in person on these dates. I can easily prrove that we met in person by sending boarding passes, passport pages, photos etc.

I'm also reading conflicting info about how much to send in this petition. Some say just the proof of meeting, others say they sent proof of relationship. I can send screenprints of our Skype logs which shows us talking hours every night. We never use regular phones due to cost so there are no bills. We rarely send emails cause we talk constantly on skype or IM. I do have months of IM logs too but since those are VERY VERY (did i mention VERY) private I'd rather not send those.

Any suggestions? I want to get this right so i can have my soulmate in my arms forever as quickly as possible!

You will need a copy of the passport stamps, a few pictures and other evidence you met the last 2 years, boarding passes, itinerary, ticket stubs.

The MAIN thing is to send proof of having met in person in the last 2 years. Save emails, chats and phone records for showing a bona fide relationship for the embassy interview.

A few pictures with captions showing you guys together in front of something only in your country helps also. Ex. Airport sign!

Be sure you/he makes a couple copies of the ENTIRE submittal and you both are aware of the info in the submission for the embassy interview. Ex. G325A info you BOTH provided.

There is plenty of evidence here at VJ to show that it has worked both ways. Some include the proof of meeting in the petition and save the evidence of relationship for the interview. Others have included evidence of the relationship with the petiton, anywhere from a little to a lot. Both ways have been successful. In my personal case, I included lots of evidence with the petition and my fiance was not asked for proof at her interview, even though she had it with her.

If you want to get it right, read this http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1guide, which is the K1 guidelines, on every page of VJ forum under Guides link, between Portals and wiki. Its the guidelines to K1 visa. All your questions are detailed there, including evidences of relationship. I printed this, and kept it next to my computer, read it like 20 times and memorized the damn thing, both me and my fiance at the time, to know the entire process so when people like you asked, I could say, I've been there and I've done that...

Photos together with dates and location are the best evidence.

Mails, eMails, Chat history, Phone bills and greeting cards.

If you're talking about the Question 18 supplement I suggest what the guides say, a short descriptions of when you first met and a little about the development of the relationship.

"I met Susan in August 2006 on the internet game site _________. We played _______ together and then started talking on Yahoo messenger. I first went to visit her in her England for two weeks on Jan. 1, 2007. She came to Utah in March 2007 and met my family. We became engaged on her birthday in July 2008 in England. We have visited in each other's country a total of five times now. We still play ______ daily, as well as talk on Skype."

I think a liitle summary lets them know that you don't have IMBRA issues and you just met, became friends, then met face to face, fell in love and keep in touch constantly.

In the evidence portion for the I-129F, we put a few photos, passport stamps, itineraries, boarding passes (not all 27, but enough to document the most recent few trips), and we each had a credit card bill showing a purchase in Harrod's on the same date, and another showing Best Buy purchase at the same store in the US. That was more to document meeting.

London does not look at any evidence of an ongoing relationship. Most take a little something because of VJ guidelines, but never pull it out of the folder. So if you want London to see any evidence of a relationship or meeting, it would be something they see in your original submission that is already in your file.

so send evidences of the plane, hotel etc to match timeline in passports etc, pictures when there, this will show the going there, the meeting then brief description of first knowing (thru chat, thru games, etc) few letters, few chats, few cards, few phone calls to show that the relationship continues, credit cards, true if the embassy is bad to look at evidences, be sure to include everything you want them to see in original application. For us Morocco is also bad for this so our original applications become very important to get everything in

I-129F Petition:

Evidence of meeting evidence supplied : Just the basic (passport stamps, 4 photos, boarding passes)

Evidence of relationship evidence supplied : NONE

Questions at the interview: NONE

As you can see there are many magic formulas

Getting the original submission approval is easy. The main road block waiting for you is the embassy interview. There you will have to prove you have a SOLID ongoing relationship. The more communication evidence you have the better. Sign up with a international carrier that will give nyou good call records. Use it sparingly and Skype the rest of the time.

Won't cost much and you'll have better records.

Embassy interviews for MOST (and I use that word advisedly) people going through London do not require the visa applicant to show any proof of an ongoing relationship, bar an updated intent to marry letter. They don't want to see your photos, chat logs, phone records, etc etc ad nauseam. You show up, you bring the stuff on the checklist that comes in packet 3, answer a few easy questions, and if everything's in order that's it. I can't remember a single person going through London in the past 18 months being asked for a shred of relationship proof at the consulate stage. As Nich says above, most people do bring a little something just in case they are that special person who gets asked, but nobody does. If you want to get a new phone service, go for it, but don't do it because of the K1.

NB: This advice is for London ONLY -- it has its own quirks and shouldn't be seen as applicable elsewhere!

By "VERY VERY VERY private," were you and your fiancé(e) constantly talking about how you'd rip each other's clothes off when you finally get to be together for good?

You can print out a few samples then use a black marker to block out the x-rated stuff. Besides, is it that bad to share a little spice with those USCIS adjudicators? They work with mundane forms for 8 hours a day. A few "stores" never hurts anyone.

But on a serious note, you could start sending each other real letters and use those later on for "ongoing relationship" proof. This is for the actual interview. Don't worry too much.

For people that met online (not on a marriage broker website), the above statement in bold is an excellent template of what information you should include. It's brief, to the point, and answers the two main questions they will have (how did they meet, when did they meet in person). You then back it up with relevant evidence that matches the dates and send it in.
