Relationships that started via Social Media

[Papetica09 16]

Since you said you will visit before the interview you can go ahead and file now.

FRONT LOAD your petition !

Front loading insures that the CO will already have seen all your evidence before the interview, some CO's make up their minds

not to issue the visa and return the petition without sufficient evidence and they will refuse to look at new evidence brought to the interview.

So do a VJ search on front loading for high fraud countries and get an idea how much to send in. Selecting 1-2 chats a month would not do.

Have a wide variety of all your communication and send in more than what is the usual for the "easy peasy" countries.

You say 2 years is too long for an online relationship. If you petition would end up in AP and returned you are looking at that or more

so resolve to be in it for the long haul just in case.

The USCIS phase is no big deal but the embassy phase is no picnic for high fraud countries. Be prepared.

Hope for the best and be prepared for the worst.

Thank you so much for ur advice! When I said 2 years is too long I was referring to wait to start a processed to be together... I know we are probably going to face a lot issues but I have faith that they will see that our relationship is genuine.

Best wishes.

I proposed to my now wife, on June 12, 2012, we filed the K-1 visa dated June 22, 2012, from Cebu, Philippines. We are married and very happy, a wonderful wife!

We had to go through the Vermont Service Center.,.,and the "V" does not stand for "Very fast" as it was 10 months and 4 days until P.O.E. Alanta, 4-24-2013 and I hope the great people of Vermont does not suffer for the US govt.'s embarassing processing of visa's, as since then, the Texas Service Center has been turned into the next "Vermont".,., it appears, pray your paperwork goes to CSC.

Met online March 2013

Met in person August 2013

I visited again (and he proposed!) December 2013

We filed January 24th while I was still there

then I left for home in March 2014

We cannot judge others ways of meeting and their time together! It's all about how you two love each other.

Heck, my parents met at a bus stop in November 1979 and were married 8 weeks later, they're still happily married after 35 years!

Go ahead Good luck !!!!

We decided to do it in January 2014 (started talking in march 2013 and met twice, he first travelled then I did. He proposed to me the 1st day we met in person, when he travelled to see me)

If you're sure it's something you want to commit to, then by all means file! Just make sure you have exhaustive evidence.

I met my wife through Facebook in 2009 and she was able to download our entire chat history for our petition... it was 4,000 pages long, so we had to edit it down. Bear in mind that you can delete out the content if you're worried about your privacy as I've read they're only interested in the frequency of messages; we however decided to leave ours in, warts and all. I'd suggest doing this too if you're submitting web chats, as you come from a high fraud country. Don't forget to submit copies of your plane tickets to see each other too! And remember, no matter how difficult the process may get, how amazing it will feel when you can be together without having to think of goodbyes. I wish you both the very best of luck.

That's an absolutely beautiful story about your parents, thank you for sharing. A lot of people are quick to criticise how quickly my wife and I married (we eloped in New Orleans last November), but I guess when you know when you're with the right person for you.

I would file as soon as you can as it is going to take a good while. Better to get the ball rolling now so you can get your process going.... or should I say, waiting lol Good luck to you

Fast forwarding to NVC, you stated starting a new job and single mother of two. Make sure you meet the income requirements for 4 people, if not a co sponsor is needed.

They will be very scrutinizing of his intentions if he proposed on your first meeting, that is a flag in itself ..especially in a high fraud country. The counselor will be questioning whether he's using you to get to his family that's already in the U.S.

It can be overcome , just make sure all your paperwork is in order, some consulates allow extra evidence at the time of interview and others won't even take a look once the decision is made. Usually the decision is made before even meeting the fiance or spouse.

i met my fiance by social media too august 2012 he came in november to my country and in march he sent the petition k1

[janet&adonis 57]

My ex friend cynthia had been dating his brother for a year when she started working at the business where i worked. One day cynthia showed her fiance and his brother a picture of me. He wanted to get to know me. So he was on a social media page, and i went and made a profile, just to see what was up. Lol we started talking and i didnt believe a word he said. We started talking online in february, then at end of march we started dating, then cynthia and her fiance got married in june and i went with her, so i met my hubby then. We got along so well that i knew we were made for each other. So when i returned i started the papers july 1st. Cynthia got mad and is not my friend anymore. Our interview was feb 26, he came to united states in march 15, and we got married april 14. Everything is going well, and he is adjusting well. There was no red flags, and we provided 5-6 photos, and lots of phone bill evidence, and never got an rfe.

Cell bill, boss revolution statements ( that shows how much money I spend a month on calling cards auto recharge and its A LOT!)

Just a helpful tip... My Fiance is also in the DR and you can save a lot of $$$$... if you can switch or just get a phone and activate it with Boost Mobile. It is a pay as you go service that as of April 1st offer Minute Packs WITHOUT an International plan that has 350 minutes to DR Cell phones for just $20 bucks!!!

I was spending hundreds each month and last month I dropped to 40-60 bucks only!!! boost texts you when your minutes get low and you just buy a new minute pack when the minutes are run out! They have other countries too for way less... but that's the best price I have found for DR Cell calls period.

Are you able to track your calls? because that's one of the reason use boss revolution, because I can print every month our call history to reflect how many times we talk to each other a day... And also can I call his cell phone? because he does not have a home phone just cell... Thank you for the Info!
