I-129F Questions

[MrsBocanegra 3]

I have two questions in regards to filling out the I-129F.

6. Proof of having met in past two years. (click here for examples)

I traveled to Mexico in December where I received a tourist visa (i guess you can call it that), which is good for 180 days. Will this work as proof. I am currently living in Mexico with him how would I show proof of this since nothing is in my name? Also, I have a few pictures of us in December and some recent ones. What else could be used as evidence we have met in the past two years.

The explanation of how we met is a little tricky and I am afraid they may not approve the K-1 because of this. I first met him when I was about 12 years old. My ex-stepdad is his fathers brother. I went to Mexico twice when I was little ages 12 and 13. We were never raised as cousins and I never was raised to call his father uncle. My mother and stepfather divorced early this year. While my stepdad and mother were separated I went to Mexico with my stepfather during my winter vacation. I then met up with my fiancé again during this visit. We started a personal relationship on December 21. Will the fact that he is related to my ex-step-dad will this be a problem? and how do I explain our meeting without raising a Red Flag.

Please Help... Thanks..

All you need is proof of meeting. A visa/entry stamp going into Mexico and some pictures together will show the two of you together. That's it.

The "family" connection will have to be addressed. Meeting again (first time as adults?) in December and 5 months later doing a fiance visa isn't unprecedented. When lightning strikes, it strikes. But be prepared to be honest and direct. Your fiance will have to explain, in detail, all the aspects of your relationship.

"Proof of meeting in person" Your travel documents to Mexico and a few photos together. I met my wife standing in line for bus tickets in Prague. And that is just about how I answered the question. You really do not have to get too detailed. It does not have to be the firt stime you met, or the last time you met as long as it is within two years of filing. You can save the rest for the interview.
