Newbie on K1

[mark&marilou 0]

The amount of times you've seen each other is not a factor.

The requirements are that you BOTH are able to marry and that you have met in person 2 years prior to sending in your petition, also some type of proof of an ongoing relationship (skype logs, Facebook messages, plane tickets, photos, ect.)

It wouldn't hurt to try to get a tourist visa, though as always, those are never guaranteed.

Both of you can start by gathering all forms and signatures and sending in that petition asap. You do have a while wait, but it's

worth it at the end.

Good luck at whatever both of you choose to do.

I concur!!!! One meeting is all that is required. Follow the guides in this website without fail. This is a journey. Study, study and study some more. Good Luck!!!!

Hi! Thanks for the positive response. You and your girl are so adorbss.. Just had to. Haha! Anyway, I agree with you and I definitely know how you feel. My fiance and I skype each other everyday, even while we sleep. Did you file your petition yet? Is there any specific address that we need to send the I-129F?

I would reccomend you follow the guides on this site...I was on the verge of hiring a "Visa Service" to complete my petition...and through the process of vetting the company I relayed to the preparer all I had learned from this site...he was actually surprised that I knew so much of the process and excatly what items I needed. He confirmed for me indirectly that the guide on VJ is spot on

Hi! Yes, if I find enough evidence for strong ties in the Philippines, I would definitely apply for a tourist visa. But since I'm just 22, have just started as an online tutor for a couple months, I think it's hard to acquire for a B2. :/ My fiancé and I need to discuss this thing very carefully. Hopefully we can get started with the K1 soon as I think it's the most suitable for us. Thanks so much for your response!

Hi! Yes, I think that having an attorney or attaining visa service is helpful, but not really necessary. I'm reviewing every step I see on here so I guess I don't need to worry a lot. Thanks so much!

Hello! I'm Glory, from the Philippines. I'm turning 23 this year and engaged to a USC since last year. We met online and after a few months he came here to visit me. We've only seen each other once so I'm quite worried if the number of times we've been together will be a factor on the application. Also my fiancee suggested that I try to apply for a US tourist visa just to be together before he files the petition. But I know when you're a young Filipina, it is hard to get a tourist visa. We're a little confused and to be honest, we don't know where to start. I hope someone on here can enlighten me. Hoping for good responses. Thanks so much!

Hi there,...I would go with Fiancee Visa at once,.. you are engaged and want to marry your man, your good with K1. Tourist has a different set of requirements why not gather requirements for K1 now( i mean study). Don't have to get them yet, some docs has expiration. K1 is 6- 10 mos. so far, good to know you're working, you need to be busy while waiting, time flies before you know it. VJ is the right place for us, read and read when you have time. Good luck!

Hi! Yes, I agree. K1 is definitely on top of our list. Some people are trying to suggest different things to us, and we're giving it considerations. But finding this site helps me so much on what we need to learn about the whole process. I guess we should start gathering all that we need. At least we can be prepared once we decide to file the petition. Thanks so much!
