Starting our k1 journey

[timmytiny 1]

Hello everyone! I am new here and id say that ive got a lot of info here which i am very happy about... Let me share our story and hope that you could help me in our journey too:)

I met my husband to be in NY thorugh an apple app and decided to meet in person shortly before i went down to florida for my j1(internship). We started talking a lot over the phone before we decided to be officially bf-gf like after a month or 2 (eversince it was long distance relationship). Right after myinternship, i booked my flight back to ny so i could spend time with sis and we could spend time together before i go back to my homeland. We didnt push through in getting married because he was still doing his divorce that time. After finally receiving his divorce papers he came to visit me and my family in the ph, asked my parents for my hand(not offficial engagement coz he said no diamond ring yet) and i felt sooo happy just being able to see him respect my culture and my family. He stayed here for like 3 weeks and had to go back to the states(ugh, sooo sad) and we still didnt get married because he said he wanted to really take it slowly. After his departure from (like2months after), i decided to try my luck in getting a tourist visa because its just soo mind blowing to be without the one you love the second time around. It didnt come out pretty well because i got denied(maybe because my sister is already a USC, im single, young and cannot have a lot of proof id be coming back). My hunnie decided that we should just do the fiance visa, so were just getting started in doing it. I am so hoping i wont be getting a disadvantage because i got denied.

I dont really know how to start and we dont really want to hire a lawyer in doing this. But, i accomplished(already mailed it through a courier and on its way)my g325a, my letter of intent, even did a supplement on how i met him, passport photos, photocopies of my passport pages(to prove ive been there and was able to meet him in person) and a document saying i am not subject for the 2year rule. Is there anything i might have missed?

And as for him to accomplish, am im missing out something?

I-129f

Letter of intent

G325a

Photocopy of passport pages and/or birth cert

Photocopy of divorce decree

Copies of his itinerary to his trip here

Pictures of us together

Passport size photo

Supplement of how we met

Lastly, does he need to include his w2 and irs transcript already and it is made when im about to get my interview?

And btw,do i need to obtain a police clearance issues by usa because id stayed there for 6months and how?

Thank you and really hoping for your support in our journey...

$340 petition fee. Looks like you're good to go with these supporting docs.

Lastly, does he need to include his w2 and irs transcript already and it is made when im about to get my interview? These are needed only once your petition is approved and to bring at the interview.

And btw,do i need to obtain a police clearance issues by usa because id stayed there for 6months and how? You'll need NBI here. Please be reminded that this has 1 year validity only. If you've stayed in another country for more than 6mons then you'll need their Police Report or Certificate. Same with Ws and transcripts, you'll only need these once it's approved and bring at the interview.

Thank you and really hoping for your support in our journey...

Good luck on your journey!!

Sorry OP if I'll have to hijack your thread.

Hi Penguin, just curious how do you know if the thread is or not in the main or regional forum yet? I saw this post under my Philippine Portal. I meant to make a comment about the language earlier but I was not sure.

Thanks!
