Question on evidence docs for interview

[rks_emelander 5]

Hi all, I'm starting to put together the long document of evidence for the K-1 consulate interview. I'm wondering a couple things--

 

1) I'm currently organizing it in a timeline format, Year > events during that year that we have evidence for like trips, etc. Is this an acceptable idea or should I do it another way?

2) We've got thousands of photos of ourselves from several different countries we've live in and traveled together. However, I've also screenshotted many social media posts from ourselves and friends that include date/time stamps on them. Would these be preferable to include over normal photos of us together?

3) We have lived together in several apartments, but neither of us still have the lease documents from those and since we're not married yet and currently live in separate countries, we don't have a joint bank account, etc. Will this be any problem?

 

Thanks!

1. That seems like a fine format. it shows a good timeline for your relationship.

2. I'm not sure about social media posts. The interview may be a little different than when the petition was submitted in the first place. I think you should be fine with bringing just the photos you have of you and your fiance. The officer at the embassy will be able to ask you any questions they have about the photos, unlike when you submitted the petition and may have written an explanation for each photo you submitted.

3. You wouldn't really need those things for this part of the K-1 visa process. They are just looking for whether the relationship is bonafide or not. Which is done through the questions they ask (when did you meet? have you met their family? what do they do for work? where are you going to live in the US? etc.) Things like that to show that you know a good amount of information about your fiance.

Things like joint bank accounts and lease agreements will come more into play during the adjustment of status process, where USCIS will want to see more of a commingling of things. Like finances, rental agreements, life insurance, health insurance. things like that.
