I'm almost done filing out forms for the K1 visa. I'm using the Example documents as references.  But it seems to have ALL the documents not just when filing. 

 

 

So far: I have compiled:

129F (visa application)

Letters of intent (both me and my fiance) 

Cover letter

Credit card form

Notification form.

Screen shots + call logs

passport photos

birth certificate/ passport

photos of us together

plane tickets + package/letter labels.

 

 

I see forms such as affidavit of support, but do I submit this with the rest of my items, or if they request it? Do I need to submit this, or only if I do not earn enough and have to claim property?  

Are there any other forms that need to be submitted with the initial visa application?

Proof of meeting within the last 2 years?

The I-134 is not needed until the interview.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

You dont really need to worry about the affidavit of support untl you get to the NAO2/NVC stage. However i would still get yourself prepared for when it comes. 

Remember to provide proof of meeting within the last two years.

Is fiance aware of the drawbacks of a K-1  vs spousal visa?

I recommend using the checklist from the USCIS  site that accompanies the form.

 

I-134 is not needed until the interview, which will likely be close to two years from now.

 

You need to show evidence of the required meeting-  passport stamps and boarding passes are good.
