Did ppl include Bona Fides in K-3 Packet?

[JD2 83]

Did K-3 filers include evidence of bona fide marriage in the I-129F K-3 packet?  Visa Journey doesn't list it in the K-3 I-129F packet guide.  The I-129F instructions don't mention bona fides at all.  Did people include bona fides like air line tickets, hotel reservations, wedding receipts, photos, etc.?  Did anyone NOT include them then get an RFE for bona fides?

You have to include them with I-130 already so don’t see the point of duplicating them for I-129f

Excuse moi for trying to help you out, trying to make sure you were not wasting your time with a k-3. That was so unkind of me.

Knock it off NOW.

The instructions for the I-129F seem pretty clear as to the required evidence if filing for a K3, a copy of the I-130 NOA AND a copy of the marriage certificate along with all the other required evidence necessary.  I believe USCIS is outright rejecting packages that do not include all the required evidence.  As to the other stuff proving the relationship is bona fide, I would not worry about that as you know the I-129F will probably be canceled at some point.

 

Good Luck!

Pd was 7/16 or 18 of 2021, TSC... uscis received my k3 app (yes i included bonafides, and my noa1) on nov 3rd. I130 went actively reviewing november 24th, went actively reviewing again on 12/23, and my k3 was canceled and i130 approved on 12/27. Found my approval notice in documents...Got all the NVC stuff that day too.

My wife has a B1/B2. We got engaged when she was visiting on a tourist visa. We thought about going to the court house, getting married, and filing right then and there. It would've been legit because neither of us knew before she...

I'm sorry if I was unclear.  "We thought about" getting married.  "It would have been" legit because we didn't have preconceived intent.  Past conditional grammar describes a past situation that never happened.  We never went through with it because thought what if they don't believe us.  And, my wife couldn't wait for Advanced Parole to travel internationally for various reasons.  I was just explaining that to the OP in that topic because they needed to make sure they don't have preconceived intent and to remember you can't travel until you get Advanced Parole.  As for our situation, my timeline is up-to-date.  I filed an I-130 recently and my wife will do consular processing.

Hi,

We just sent the I-130 NOA1 receipt, passport photos, the I-129f and a copy of our marriage certificate. The I-130 was approved 3-4 weeks after we got NOA1 of the K3.

Thank you for the clarification.  I hope you understand, that if by some lucky (or unlucky?) chance your K3 gets approved, then your wife will get a K3 visa.  She will enter the US with it and will need to go through the AOS process, with the 8+ months of waiting for the EAD/AP combo card to be able to leave the US, work, get a SSN, drive, etc.

K3 does not require AP to travel: https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-991?language=en_US the other things we don't care about.
