K1 Visa - Question about Beneficiary Information & Sponsor's Travel History

[itsgia 0]

Hi guys, first time poster here! 

 

I am (the beneficiary) helping out my partner with I-129F for our K1 sponsorship and have a few questions that would love to hear some insights and clarification from other members!

 

My background: 

- Nationality is Vietnam no Canadian PR.

- Currently on Study Permit and will finish my school around Winter/Summer 2026. 

 

Questions I have atm:

1. Address History Section - Do I have to list everything out (past 5yrs) including the one I temporary stayed for 3 months? 

2. Name & Address in Native Language - Should I use Vietnamese name (latin with diacritics) and current address in Canada? (this is my main residency address since 2023 and I will be staying here till I finish my school.) 

3. Consular Processing Information - Should we put the Montreal location one? (it was the only one showed up when we searched for K1 Processing in Canada.)

4. He occasionally drive to Toronto to visit me a lot during the past 2 years. As far as i know, he used the passport card every time he enters and there was no stamps or whatsoever, is there anyway for us to obtain the entry/exit timestamps because I think the border patrols definitely has it, just not sure where to look (I'm guessing it has to be on Canada gov website??)

 

Thanks a bunch for helping us out, and have a merry Christmas everybody!!

1.  Yes, list out the 5 yr history of your official residences.  If you did not officially reside (I.e mail was directed to you, or you updated IDs or DLs) then I do not believe you need to list it.

2.  Since your current address is in Canada you should be fine, but you can always list that address in your native alphabet.  You may also want to list your last official residence in Vietnam here as I believe this is used to help with background checks in your home country.

3.  Yes, Montreal.

4.  I believe he would have to FOIA to get those records, I am not sure how that works with Canada Border Protection.

 

Good Luck!
