Hi, I am recently married (this month) to my woman in Guangzhou, China.

I will start my I-130/I-129f K-3/4 Visa process very soon.

I have closely reviewed the K-3 Visa Guide with respect to the I-129 Cover Letter and its contents as provided in this venue. I have also looked at the the similar K-1 Visa guidelines herein.

My question is.....I perceive a nuance between the two types of visas in the guides ?? It appears that it is not necessary to show proof of visits to her e.g., airline ticket stubs etc. and (logically) intent to marry the foreign spouse ??

I have a close friend who is now in the final phase of the K-1 Fiancee Visa process for his Chinese Fiancee, and he says I must include proof of my visits to see her and written declaration of how we met and the status of the relationship etc. as attachments to the I-129f Cover Letter ??

Any specific advice/comment here will be greatly appreciated !!

Roger,

My specific advice is that you should read the I-129f instructions, in particular the section of the instructions that tell you what to do if you are submitting the petition for a spouse rather than for a fiance(e).

Your friend is wrong. You do not have to provide proof of meeting or visits for the K3 application, your marriage certificate is enough.

Congratulations on the marriage & good luck with the process!!

If in fact having met within the last two year was a requirement for a K-3 petition (which it is not), one would think that a valid marriage certificate would be pretty good evidence......

YMMV
