Do I need to put the date we got engaged when applying for K1

[Startedfrom 0]

Hello and happy new year to everyone here. This site is heaven sent. Just want to ask a quick question.

I am starting my K1 process next week on the 10th of January. I just want to know,

1. Do I need to declare the date my fiance and I got engaged?

2. Do we need to show the engagement receipt as well?

Thank you

Welcome to the forum.

easily accessible at the top of the forum page. In particular, the step-by-step K-1 Visa Guide, for info on what is needed for the K-1 evidence of relationship....and much, much more.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Happy New Year!

1. No... I-129F has no where for this question.

2. I assume your talking about a receipt for a ring, or...????

You could throw that in with the many "proof of relationship" documents you'll have to have, but not required.

Good luck, and read, read, read!!!

Engaged isn't always a definable status. You don't need a ring, or to get on one knee to be engaged.

The main proof of engagement is your signed letter of intent to marry that each of you should submit in your I-129f. But it helps if you can supplement that with emails or letters, facebook status updates, etc that show you are engaged.

Agree, that is the intent of the evidence of relationship information that is posting in the Guides. The Guides are the cumulative efforts of MANY folks that have successfully completed their immigration journey. You need to show that you have met within the last two years and that the relationship is genuine.

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

Use as many of these items are possible. There is no minimum, but the more you can provide the less likely you are that you will receive an RFE. Additionally, please note that providing proof of your ongoing and genuine relationship in this package may benefit you by allowing the consulate to have access to this information prior to them formally contacting the non US Citizen fiance. Many high risk consulates approach cases with a skeptical eye and providing this information early on in the original I-129F package will help them in their preliminary review of your case.

1. Copies of all airline boarding passes, train passes, itineraries, hotel receipts, passport stamps (make sure you can read the dates on the stamps), and other documentary evidence that you have met within the last two years. You may want to highlight or place post-it notes indicating the dates and locations on the copies (to make the adjudication easier) for the person reviewing your file. 2. Color Photo's of you and your fiance(e) together. Make sure you write your names, date, and location on the back of every photo. Provide two to five photo's. If you only have a single copy of the photo, then make a color copy and send that. If it is a digital photo, have it printed at a local photo store such as Walgreens (if at all possible) or if not on a high quality printer. Place photo's in a plastic bag or photo sheet and label the sheet. Note that you may not receive originals of photo's back. 3. The following items will not typically show proof of having met in the last two years however will show proof of an ongoing relationship: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate letters and emails, stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

There's no question about when you got engaged on the I129F but I do recall being asked that question at the K1 interview.
