I am going to my fiance country and get engaged the end of this month. Now, when I get there, what are the things that I need from my fiance in order to file for fiance visa for her? Just thinking this ahead of time so that if I need her signature or anything, I can just get it while I am there to prevent the snail mail between the US and abroad.

Thanks

I get certified copies of everything. Birth and marriage certs, ID cards, passport pictures, copy of passport, etc. While you are together copy EVERYTHING that you can get your hands on. if you find out later that you need something and have to write overseas to request it and wait for it to all come back, we're talking another few weeks at best.

In my case I needed birth certs for her children too, and a custody paper. we had to hire a solicitor to draw up the papers. By looking around now, you begin to see the snags that you may hit in the future and you are better prepared for them.

Having all this information is not a bad thing. Now than Karen is here and we are married, should she ever need a form for a US office, be it a home country driving license or a police report (get an extra one!), we have it. Imagine trying to offer information about the other country from here? I say while you are there get all that you can.

As you can see by the posters above, you NEED very little right now. But I say get what you can and start a file, you will soon see how quickly you need to submit other documents, and if they are right in front of you now, grab them!

Isn't the fiance petition in the US only require my part to file and a letter of her intent? Then when she's called for interview, that's when the evidence kicks in? So the evidence will take place over there, no?

You can download ALL the forms you will need right now to review them. There are specifics for initial application, papers for NOA1, NOA2, Packet 3, Packet 4, POE, AOS. It feels like the same info over and over in different order.

copies of your fiances passport stamps and flight itineraries, any photos she might have of you both... anything to prove you have met needs to be sent with the initial petition. then she needs to fill in the G325A and write a letter of intent. also like Robert&Karen have said... you could download all the forms for later and go over them together while in the same room
