Money trasnfers question

[Scott H 0]

So I been reading supplying copies of money transfer receipts as proof of support isn't necessary and could looked as the us petitioner being scammed by the CO.

Would sending a letter as to how the funds were and the reasoning behind it as why they were sent help?

Can my fiancée bring this evidence to the interview to discuss with out them being sent to the embassy for the CO to review before hand? (If she'd to say persuade the CO further)

Money transfer usually are for married people in most cases. I can understand how the CO could see this as scamming for K1's , especially if the money transfers/wires are a very high amount and very frequent.

I would not present the receipts unless they asked about it. This is not part of a K1 evidence petition.

What would be the benefit of using the money transfer as evidence?

Definitely NOT for a K1 petition. Could also be seen as Beneficiary bleeding dry the petitioner financially and only in relationship for the money.

Show that the relationship is genuine and time and effort was spent in the relationship?

I totally see why not to include this info by all counts though as it's not needed and could be seen as a negative thing.

Show that the relationship is genuine and time and effort was spent in the relationship? money between two people does NOT show time or effort in a relationship. I gave a homeless guy $10.00 yesterday, does that make him and me in a genuine relationship? No I don't think so..... Understand?

Yep I get it you can't tie the money received to even a receipt since to them it won't prove that it was used to pay what it may have been intended for.

I used money transfers in my husband's K-1. We only put in a few from 3 years and they weren't huge amounts. They didn't even question them. We were investing in a business so when he left his mom would be taken care of. If your other evidence is weak then it might be an issue but I think it's a personal choice. For me, I thought it showed that we were planning for the future to make his transition smoother.

If you were sending large amount of money for no reason and just to give it to your fiance, it is not illegal but it might raise an eye brow. But, if you were sending money for medical reasons to help her family, paying for college or schooling or investing in real estate and she can prove that, then it might be helpful in showing more ties with the family and your fiance. I believe that CO in the Philippines is aware of transactions like yours and how foreign fiance's can be of big help to the fiance and her family.

Is it illegal? No its not...like I said in previous post, my friend bought his fiance land, house for her family, business etc and he was sending money to them...I think she used some or all that to prove that they are in a good relationship. They are happily married in the US now for more than two years.

So I been reading supplying copies of money transfer receipts as proof of support isn't necessary and could looked as the us petitioner being scammed by the CO. MONEY TRANSFERS ARE NOT NECESSARILY EVIDENCE OF AN ONGOING GENUINE RELATIONSHIP**

Would sending a letter as to how the funds were and the reasoning behind it as why they were sent help? REALLY - NO ONE CARES HOW THE MONEY WAS USED

Can my fiancée bring this evidence to the interview to discuss with out them being sent to the embassy for the CO to review before hand? (If she'd to say persuade the CO further)

Why do you feel the deep need to send copies of money transfers?

The embassy wants evidence of an ongoing GENUINE relationship - chat logs, emails, photos, letters (**Sending money isn't necessarily proof of that - if it were you and whomever you pay bills to are having a genuine ongoing relationship too )

I included a copy of every money transfer I ever sent.

I we were approved just fine.

Include them. It shows proof of on going relationship

But did the embassy look at them?
