Hi,

My name is Wendy and my fiance and I are just starting the K-1 process. He is going to write the letter of intent and another stating how we met and he will fill out the G-325A forms and sign and mail back all this to me so I can send it off.

I just wanted to know if I was forgetting anything or if anyone had any helpful suggestions they could add to someone that is new to this process.

Thanks in advance for any :help:

You'll need a passport photo from him as well.

Also, if he was married before, a certified copy of his divorce decree.

Beyond that, the guides are the best. They basically take you step by step through everything.

Good luck! We are starting our journey too, but i've been a member of VJ for two weeks and I don't know that i could do this without this forum. I get on here and read new posts everyday just so i know about all the different problems and solutions facing everyone.

Use VJ as much as you can and it will make this a much more bearable process for you and your fiance` B)

Hi there Wendy :D

Yes I also agree with blspicer and this is why Visa Journey is the best!

Eventhough my husband has gone through this process with a the K-1 fiance visa and gotten his 10 yr Green Card, our visa journey process is still not completely over, but being on this site has helped us in many ways and I will still keep on coming back here for any help we would still need when my husband goes for his citizenship.

There are so many wonderful people here and I have met many friends here that I will always keep even after everything is finished in our journey. :)

Good Luck to you and Yilmaz and hope that everything will go smoothly for you both.
