Timeline

Im still in the researching end of this long process, as were hoping to file early in the new year. I have come across a situation.

My fiance ( who is in the USA ) and I met online. Therefore we will require some people who know us as a couple to write letters verifying that they know this. I always felt that these letters would hold more wieght if they were notarised. His family and my family are willing to do these letters as are mutual friends. The question I have is about his sister. She is a Notary, and she is willing to notarise everyone she can that knows us, the question is more about her.

I feel that if she is willing to put her name against a letter and notarise it, it would be more meaningful as she isnt going to jepordise her professional reputation. Shes not sure that if she did that how much value it would truly hold with immigration.

Such letters are not required (I submitted no such letters for my wife (then fiancee))... evidence of face to face meeting can be of various types but there is no single type that is required

The bolded sentence is not true.

And there is no need to have anything notarized in the K-1 visa process.
