January 2019 I-129F (K1) Filers

[Amie224 1]

Hi everyone 😊. I am the petitioner and I filed the I-129f for back on January 10th and already got my NOA1 but there’s still something that’s bothering me. So here’s the problem, I last visited my fiancé on January 30th 2017 and I filed the the I-129f on January 10th 2019 ,  does that meet the 2 year meeting requirement? I know it’s within the the 2 years but I’m scares it’s too close .  Do you guys think we could be denied because of that ? Thank you so much in advance 😊

No worries...usually people say to frontload the petition when you have little in person time..but bring your evidence to the interview and attend the intervies if you are allowed...that should help...

The USCIS only requirement is that you met with in the prior two years of application submittal. You need to have met your fiance in person sometime during the 24 month period ending on the date you file your K1 visa request (I-129F). The actual language is from Section 214(d) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 5 1184(d) and reads in part that a fiance petition:

 

…shall be approved only after satisfactory evidence is submitted by the petitioner to establish that the parties have previously met in person within two years before the date of filing the petition…

 

What is satisfactory evidence? You should always make sure you have entry and exit stamps on your passport. A passport carries a lot of weight with the USCIS. Pictures are important to establish the relationship does exist, but alone they don’t carry a lot of weight. Anything that can be easily construed as fake is not good evidence. A airline ticket alone doesn't prove that it was used but with baggage claim tickets, airline boarding passes and the like will help as proof but cannot stand on it's own. With this kind of evidence you should be fine.

The sponsor has a tax return for 2018-2019 and he earns over the 100% income requirement for a K1 visa.

He is self-employed. 

But he doesn't have any other tax returns except for that financial year.

Will this be an issue?

Will be going to the UK Consulate.

Does anyone know how to collect the record for call logs on Facebook messenger? We tried downloading the information but there was no record of our calls, and we have several calls a day.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2018/03/27/heres-how-to-download-all-your-data-from-facebook-it-might-be-a-wake-up-call/?utm_term=.c06c861f1154

 

I found a way to download all of your messages. You can do it one of two ways: 1. You can go to your general account settings, then "your Facebook information,"  then "download your information" , then you can scroll to the information that you want to download (i.e. messages).  

 

The second way if you want more specific dates is through a Facebook chat downloader. Please see the link to the article for more specifics: https://www.lifewire.com/find-your-facebook-chat-history-1949310

 

BTW There is a box on the very bottom that says "reply to this topic" where you can start your post to someone using the "@" sign without quoting a topic.  Quoting a topic and post an entirely different subject only confuses people. If you just want to post something to an individual without a quote then use the "@" sign then begin typing their nick name and you should see it populate to a little window that you can choose their nik. If done correctly you should see a blue box with their name in it. Like this @Greenbaum Good luck and I hope this helps navigate the thread and posts in a much easier way.

The CO could very well ask the question why didn't he file taxes for the other years? The only way around this is if the P3/4 letter only ask for the past year's tax return then you won't face that question but if it ask for 3 years he should be prepared to answer that question.

Question: At which point is everyone's fiance applying for the police check in their country? Do they need to wait until the case is assigned a number through the NVC? 

Thanks!
