FOR K-3/I-129F, 'Proof of having met fiancee...'?? Relevant

[jojoe 0]

Quick Question: For K-3, spouse visa, how relevant is Q18 of the I-129F, evidence of you having met your fiancee in the last two years??

Doesn't marriage certificate satisfy that?

Also, with the I-130, I am submitting 'proof of bonafide marriage relationship' (marriage certificate, marriage pics, honeymoon pics, marriage invitation card, receipts from our banquet hall reservations, airline tkts, etc etc). Should I submit a copy of everything here as well??

Or is it NOT required here for spouses??

Please guide.

Thanks,

Joe

Please read the section of the I-129F form's instructions that addresses its use for a spouse.

If I remember correctly K3s are not required to answer questions 17 and 18 on the I-129F.

Just put N/A

As for the I-130!!! More ammo the better. Just make 3 copies of everything you submit of both applications

Thanks edp33.

I realize we need to enclose these (proofes of bonafide marriage) with the I-130, but wasn't sure if I had to do the same with the I-129F; sounds like I do NOT. Correct?

Correct, and you don't have to prove you met in person. You're married. You prove that.
