My fiancee and I are going to begin the k1 visa process soon and in ready though what documents are needed. Pictures, logs, receipts... all those things can be emailed or sent to One Another but n9t problem is this:

 

She is the US citizen so she will be sending off the documents but they required a passport style photo of me! I am here in the UK and she has no password photo of me in the US. Must I send the photo from the UK to the US before she can send the form/other documents?

 

Thanks.

The passport photo is a requirement therefore you'll need to mail it to your fiancée before she can file the petition with all required documents.

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

I had my wife email me the file of her picture and took it to Costco to print passport style pictures of her.  Have your fiancee take a picture that meets the passport requirement perhaps by a professional and ask them to give you the file to email her.  At the same time you should keep several copies of the picture for yourself.

Did you have to sign the back of the photo..or put names on the back of them?

thankyou for the replies. I've just found out I also news to send my statement of intent withmy signature so that is something else I have to send. So I most likely will mail my passport pictures and signed letter.

The letter can be printed, signed, scanned, and emailed to the petitioner as well. But if you want to mail an original, that's fine too.
