Feedback on I-129F K1 Package

[ryvfader 45]

Figured it would not hurt to get someone to review what I'm putting in the package. Looking at the site step by step guide/USCIS website and reading the forums I think I've covered everything but I would like to get feedback incase there is something I'm missing. I feel the part I'm most concerned about is having good enough evidence of meeting since hotel receipts and boarding passes were mostly lost or not obtained as most of our time was spent at each other's home residence. 

 

Both of us are never married, no name changes, similiar ages.

You need two separate letters of intent to marry. They can both have the same text, but one signed by you and one signed by your fiancé. I've seen people get RFEs because they only included one letter of intent.

You can do a single "letter" as long as you have separate declarations.

You need to  prove one meeting within the previous two years, not three.   No such thing as extra credit

payibka, do you feel it would be more adventagous to remove trips 2 & 3 from the package as trip 1 is the most complete in terms of proof. Less possible content for confusion or questions?

I feel you choose the best trip and "hit it out of the park" from an evidence perspective 

[Greenbaum 12,259]

We did on letter with both signatures with no RFE. Yes, some will get an RFE if not two letters, but it now becomes your choice. We had only one visit and included the necessary "proof" that we met. Passport stamps, some credit card, airline ticket with boarding passes, and hotel receipts. 

[ryvfader 45]

Thanks to everyone for the feedback and information.

 

I'll go ahead and drop all but Trip #1 as I feel it has the most and clearest documentation for it and get a certified translation of my fiance's bank statement to also help further establish proof of presence in the same city. I think this will make my proof of meeting as airtight as possible and remove extra trips to keep the petition more succinct. 

 

Additionally for the letter of intent her statement was basically copy and pasted from the example on visajourney. Since my statement on it is not as direct I will go ahead and do a second statement signed by me using the same verbiage since it takes a total of a few seconds and a single sheet of paper to avoid a possible RFE delay in an already overburned system.
