Yes we will also add that in thank you 

 

Did your friends/siblings hand write their letters or type it out and how long were the letters?

My fiances mother handwrote her letter and I plan to help her type it out for her to sign. It is roughly ten lines long but quite short and straight forward. 

 

Hope everything works out for you too by the way !

They typed it and signed it. They included their full names addresses and our relationship to them, then signed that they bear witness to us abiding by the rules of the K1 visa

Thank you :) stay positive, the light at the end of the tunnel is within sight for you!

Affidavits from the beneficiaries side are usually worthless cause the beneficiaries friends and family might do everything to get them into the US 😉 but I agree that they might help to paint the bigger picture if USCIS feels like something is missing.

I currently have two affidavits now from my fiance (the petitioner's) side , his father and mother who work for the state.. 

Does this mean I don't need to include my side of the family? Or i should also include them to paint a bigger picture... ?

I met him on an online game called old school runescape.

 

I have copied the terms and conditions along with the website link 

I assume terms and conditions are the same as terms of service? As i couldn't find anything stated "terms of service" on their website.

 

Better to have more than risk another RFE at this point

Me & my husband met through Runescape also!
 

You don’t need their terms & conditions as it’s not a dating site — we never was asked for it!

 

Good luck with the K1 :)

Was that enough evidence to not get a RFE?
I think it also depends on the person looking at the file, some are also more strict than others.

 

Hopefully this will be enough evidence for us.. am incredibly worried.

This^^^. It's the luck of the draw. It can be the same way during interviews at the embassy. It's like having that infamous 7th grade math teacher that never gave partial credit. Send your new info in. You will be fine.

Finally done...

Good that you got the terms and conditions, because they don't want to see that the relationship was built through a marriage broker service.  Anything that will make good evidence, submit it.  

 

We got an RFE for a paper work I already submitted, as I have proof of making copies of the entire package.  Resubmitted it, and it was cleared.

We also have a copy of the entire package ... should we resubmit it along with the additional evidence ?

Couldn't hurt. I don't remember us sending in a ton of evidence for intent to marry for our K1, I'd have to do some file digging as that was almost 5 years ago (at that point we were already dating for 5 years and had visited each other several times in both the US and Canada since we met in 2011).

03-19-2021: Officially an American Citizen 🇺🇸 Entire journey from initial K-1 Visa filing to Naturalization took 5 years, 8 days.

Is there anything "weird" about your timeline? By weird, I mean you met when one of you was married to someone else, and the divorce was finalized fairly shortly before you filed the I-129F. That's something I've seen on here a few times. It's not a bar at all, they just want to understand better the timeline.

Could you send a copy of his passport's bio page in addition to his birth certificate?

yes we will be doing that, no idea why the original submission of his birth certificate didn't work.. 😕

Nope we have both never been married before

Just wanted to confirm, they mean copies of any of the items listed right?
Or do they want us to send his actual birth cert / passport ? O_O

Because I was very sure it's copies, but my fiance re-read it and says it doesn't mention copies and he thinks it should be the actual item ...
