Hello All,

Its early in our K1 process, however I want to begin getting prepared for the future. I heard one of questions asked at POE is showing proof of a future wedding. What are they looking for? Its hard to make these arrangements before the K1 visa is issued.

Thank you in advance

From what I've read, you don't need to show proof to the border guard. If they ask you can just say that you're waiting to make official plans once you're in the US. I suppose you could always have an approximate date in mind to tell them....maybe you could also show them a copy of your letters of intent, which state you plan on getting married within 90 days.

Or maybe you'll be like me and get impatient and start planning way in advance in hopes of getting the visa by a certain date :P. And then you will have something to tell them.

I did not need to provide proof of future wedding at POE. I just had to agree that I knew we had to get married within 90 days.

Thank you very much. I guess it all depends on the officer. I remember someone said they had to produce proof of wedding plans. They were stuck at the airport until they could show they had plans. However I don't remember what they used as proof. Well, thank you again :)

Veka did her POE at Dulles this past July 30th. The officer did ask her when we were going to get married, she replied soon, before the 90 days were up on her visa. She said that she did not even know where we were going to be married at. The officer said fine, just remember the 90 day mark. Also, her POE only took about 4 minutes. I was standing there with her, the officer took her paperwork and passport and flew through it. Very quick. We did it all at the normal immigration counter and did not have to go to a room and wait like I have read about at other POE's. Maybe you will be just as lucky.

Thank you for the info. I hope I have the same luck as you and Veka. Which city is Veka from? I was just reading your time line. It did not take long to get approved. Thats wonderful. Does it normally take 2 months for the Kiev interview?
