How my fiance and I met

[Prof_Q 9]

I first met my fiance back in July 2015 when he was on his last year of his student visa. After he left, we still kept in touch and communication with one another. We are going to start the K1 process soon. In the past year, we have seen each other on 6 different occasions (I took 6 trips to go see him). However, we do not really have any proof of us meeting or talking back in 2015 when he was still in the states. We did not bother collecting any evidence in 2015 because none of us knew we would be getting married at that time. 

 

Would this be a problem or inconvenience for us? I am aware that in the interview we will be asked how did we know each other. What if they need proof of that?

 

Also, In Question 34(a) of the I129F application, which states ¨describe the circumstances in which you met¨ , I just put down the dates of our visits when I went to go see him and the duration of the visits. Would this suffice? 
 

Thank you for your help in advance VJers.

I would make sure you detail exactly how you met, even if that includes information prior to any documented visits.  I know that my Fiance (now wife) and I stated in our application that we met online, talked / texted / called for ~2 years before meeting in person for the first time and then made multiple trips back and forth to visit before applying for the K-1.  Technically you only need to prove you've met in person once.  Everything else you provide is just further valuable evidence of your ongoing relationship.  Don't leave anything out, especially if doing so would appear to shorten your relationship.

 

Good luck !!

No, I don't think it would be a problem.

 

But for the circumstances in which you met, the answer is not the visits. It is the time in 2015 when you were together at university.

Me and my wife(then a total stranger) first met online in 2010 and then as time went on friendship turned into relationship and we decided to meet and when we met we met in real for just 2 days in Dubai ! and that was it. We didnt have yahoo and e-mails back from 2010 and even if i did i had to book a big container of Fedex truck to ship alllllll of those bundles of printouts  ...Anyways its obvious that we didnt know that we were gonna fall in love and so we didnt save any of our emails or chat messages but we did started to save all the info when we first read about the k-visa requirements and then she saved the air ticket, boarding pass, hotel receipts etc and a few screenshots of skype, international calling cards etc and that's it....Am here and are happily married !

 

we met just for 2 days and we had little evidence but that little was strong !

This is exactly what I did for our app; short and to the point, but detailed. They don't want to read a book, but a little elaboration goes a long way! And you have evidence of visits that are current, so that is great!

 @Prof_Q  Just like @SocratesJohnson said keep it short and to the point because they will have hundreds of applications to process and will not take a lot of time reading long love stories and about evidence of relationship like I said "little evidence but strong ones" !!!
