I too am putting my paperwork together for my K-1 visa application. I just spent 3 weeks in Beijing with my Fiancee. This was my third trip to China to see her!! We filled all the paperwork out over there and I brought it back with me. I met her in person last year in Xiamen. I hope this time goes by very fast!!!
