hello everyone,

we are ready to begin our journey through getting approval for our visa, but i have a question that i hope someone could help me with. First a little background. i met my fiancee in feb of 2011. she got pregnant in may of 2011. we got engaged in nov of 2011. i have been to manila to see her a total of 6 times with the last time being in February of 2012 when our son was born. i was going to submit our paper work in November before the baby was born, but we felt we didnt have enough pictures of us at that time because the pictures mistakenly got erased from her camera. we then decided to wait until our son was born before we would proceed. I was going to make another trip in july and during this time, i would have "report birth aboard" and got him his us citizenship. i have to postpone that trip until September. i am now redoing our paperwork that we did in November to submit next week.

my question is, do i need to add my son to the k1 visa application since i intending to get his US citizenship in manila? should i wait to do him first and then submit for her K1? i am hoping to have the greatest x-mas ever so i want to send the k1 app next week in hopes of them being here by then. any help, directions, or comments is greatly appreciated.

No reason to wait just because of pictures with your relationship background. Send in the petition asap. You may be too late for the Xmas anyway.

The child doesnt need a visa if you get him U S citizenship. He cant be put on the K 1 as a citizen of the USA.

Literally if you can prove you were in the same place at the same time,,, within the past 2 years. You meet the

test. Having met in person within the past two years. Having a picture together adds to that proof.

Now, proving you have a continued relationship from the point you file for a visa,,, until the interview. That

requires substantial proof.

Get the process going,,, just wasting time...

Regards,

dc
