liu and i are preparing to file for k1 vis. she is in china i am in usa. i heve known her since late july 2110. i had been planning on going to shanghai to meet a few woman in septemebr, but decided to go all the way to shiyan to meet her and her 13 yo daughter instead:-)we are in yahoo chat every day for a tleast 2 hours. i chat in yahoo with ehr daughter some as well. we have decided to not file k1 until after my next visit to her in early january. we have emails and chat logs to prove ongoing. 2 main questions. should we include all of the emails anbd chats to show just how often we are in touch?and does it mean automatic red flag becasue relationship at that point will be 6 months? will it be in our favor that i am 57 and she is 45 with a 13yo daughter? please help and advise and support:-) thanks so muhc..todd

Is there a specific reason for delaying the petition application? I would go ahead and apply, your second trip can be properly documented and that evidence given at the interview. Also, you will need to concurrently file a K-2 for the daughter if you plan to bring her over. You will need documentation from the father which allows the daughter to leave China. As per your questions:

1. 6months is not a long time, but does not mean that you will be denied as your interview at GUZ probably won't occur until you are close to the 1 year mark of knowing her anyway. I would certainly front load your petition with email chats, written letters, photos, ect. Don't go crazy with the loading, but some evidence certainly helps. You should also include an EOR (evolution of relationship) letter to explain in more detail how you met and your relationship.

2. You age difference will not give you favor, but it is good that she is not significantly older. Your main issue will probably be documentation for the daughter. On this issue, I can not give advice, but if you read back through the forums you will find good information.

Good luck!
