2-year proof for I-129F, with child in common

[pachacuti 154]

My fiance and I are just starting out on the K-1 route. Working on gathering proof of meeting within the last 2 years. Our son was born on 04/17/2012. I signed his birth certificate in Lima on 04/20/2012 with her as co-signatory. We also registered his birth and and applied for his passport at the US Embassy 08/26/2012 (passport and citizenship document issued 09/17/2012). Do we really need to pad the I-129F with more proof, or is this more than sufficient?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.

Take the time to read the step-by-step K-1 visa guide, easily accessed at the "Guides" button located at the top of the forum page. Pay particular attention to the section entitled:

"Documentary Proof of Having Met in Person in the Past Two Years and an Ongoing Relationship."

It would seem that you have the proof of having met in person in the past two years. However, to be on the safe side to and avoid a RFE or rejection, provide as much evidence as possible of a genuine and ongoing relationship. Use as many of the items listed as possible. Please keep in mind that the person you are trying to gain their approval is the USCIS adjudicator processing your petition and evidence, not the folks here on the VJ forum.

Good luck on your visa journey.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I will try and put as much together as we can. I was mostly trying to gauge experiences of others here, as opposed to getting approval. Sort of sticking my toe in the water

The level of proof needed for the 1-129F is very low, however, you may want to check the regional forums for what are the conditions at the embassy you will be using, as well as the reviews for that embassy. For some of the more difficult embassies, it is recommended that you "preload" the evidence needed for the visa interview as well with the petition you are about to file.

Thanks for the advice. I will take it to heart. Luckily, we preloaded the case when we registered my son's birth at the consulate. I can always continue to preload, we got loads of stuff

I will check out the regional forums for more advice.

Congrats on your Giants win. Even though I am now an American League fan (Seattle area, so Mariners), I was raised a National League fan back when my team in the far East was a NL West team and the Giants were always troublesome for us (Atlanta Braves fan back in the 1970s and 1980s), so I will always have an unshakable fondness for NL teams

No one here is an adjudicator, not to mention we are not the adjudicator that will handle your case so why would you not attach something else? Photos of you and her and the baby, boarding passes for your trip there, etc. I mean, more is better, though what you have is pretty solid.

[pachacuti 154]

There will be photos of me cutting the little guy's umbilical cord

I did not wish to imply that you guys were who I was trying to please. I was really trying to get an idea of shared experience. But please keep any ideas you can think of coming.

I definitely get the impression that I should err on the side of too much than too little
