More Evidence for Meeting BEFORE Filing? RFE/NOA2

First, focus on one meeting within the valid period.  Pick the meeting with the strongest evidence - boarding passes to the airport nearest you or your fiance, hotel receipts (if any), etc.

 

Write a detailed letter describing that one trip and include the revelant evidence, even if it's something you already sent in.  Have the USC petitioner sign it (I believe that is you?)

 

As an aside, you don't need a K1 to get married.  It is one option for immigration - to be engaged, enter on a K1 and then adjust status.

 

The other path for immigration is to get married, anywhere.  Here, Canada, Bora Bora, anywhere.

 

Then collect all relationship evidence - your visits to each other, conversations, maybe open a joint bank account, submit your 2021 taxes as MFS, etc, and file for a spouse visa.

 

 

 

Ah I see. He flew in to Boston but we stayed in CT, would that be a potential issue? His passport stamps line up to our hotel itinerary and I have bank statements that line up to those purchases. From what I understand, this is concrete evidence.

That seems ok.  Write a letter describing that trip. 

 

"On XX-Month-XX my fiance Jon Doe flew from City, Canada to Boston to visit me.  During that trip we stayed at Hotel Generic for X days.  Attached are his boarding passes, passport stamp, hotel receipts, and highlighted items from my bank statement for purchases made during that trip."

How do you get married if the K1 is to get married..

the K-1 visa let’s you adjust status to get a green card after entering the USA and after getting married in the USA.  
 

Nothing stops you from getting married now, filing I-130 and then apply for a marriage based immigration visa.

I just don't understand how a lack of photos means we have to re-submit. 

You needed evidence you met in 2 years before you filed I-129F.  You don’t have the evidence today.

How many times does it need to be repeated that we have evidence of that time period. Just no photographs which everyone says aren't date verifiable anyways. 

 

I'm gonna end up making a new post cause this is the fourth time someone thinks I'm saying I submitted a $600 dollar form without evidence of meeting lol

Yes, must've been not enough detail provided then. Thank you for the advice! I will update if all goes well.

I have only one suggestion to add in addition to what has been suggested: if any family or friends were present with you during that CT trip, you could also ask them to write a Letter of Support describing their first-hand knowledge of the relationship, but would also mention the outings in CT and the date of the encounter(s). The letter can either be signed with their license/id photocopied at the bottom or signed&notarized.

In addition to what has already been suggested, do you have any evidence of communication between the two of you about the visits? Text messages about places you planned to visit, about flights and hotels being booked, etc. This might add some credibility if the details line up with the boarding passes and hotel receipts.

We do have that if that's something I could submit.

It's so strange that I'm reading this from you.. ( or more or less funny ) because not 2 or 3 weeks ago i add my my finance as a added user for my American Express credit card ( when i get there next month she will have it ).

But more importantly.. me and her was just talking about having a joint bank account as well. I guess the point to the story is that every little bit helps..

Do you have any advice for an international joint bank account? 

[Gary Rich 276]
