Hey everyone. 1st of all i would like to say that i am glad i found such a great community. when i was in the process of getting my citizenship back in 07/08 i was a part of a different website. But i like it here a lot more. so here we go.

I was married to an American woman (Hispanic) for 6.5 years. we separated August 2008 and divorce was final June 2009.

I visited my family in Egypt in June/July 2009. and in September 2010.

In the 1st visit i met this girl and we fell in love. In the 2nd visit we got engaged and we had a small party with both our families and we took lots of pictures together during my stay in September 2010.

I decided to apply for the K1 visa and i submitted it was accepted/received on May 4th 2011, as you can see below in my timeline.

i did my homework just like how i did when i applied my green card in 2002 and my citizenship in 2008.

My question is, i have a solid package..everything that they might ask for i have photos, taxes, birth certificates, etc ...i am not worried at all when it comes to that and we are only 6 years apart (im older) so that another good thing. i am just a little concerned that i only met her couple of times in 2 years. can that affect my chances of approval? im planning to be there for the interview.

Thanks peeps and looking forward to be a part of your great community

You only have to show that you have met in the last two years for the initial application, by providing copy of passport stamps, photo(s) together, boarding passes for travel, hotel receipt showing both names for example. Later at the Interview stage you need to provide evidence of ongoing relationship, e.g. copies of emails, phone records, photos, etc.

Maybe someone from your beneficiary's country can provide more specific information as to what they provided at the interview - not all embassy's requirements are exactly the same.

Best of luck.
