We received the following RFE as part of k1-visa journey.
Our original plan was to get married at City Hall in the San Francisco courthouse. Previously, we did not provide any booking confirmations here, and plan on doing so now. However, the courthouse is currently closed (see here: https://sfgov.org/countyclerk/marriage-general-information) and no online, or in person reservations can be made.
So my question is, how I can we provide evidence for the booking reservation in this situation? We are planning to make a call to the court house and explain the situation, and at a best case scenario, receive a confirmation on interest of some sort.
Beyond this, we are also planning to also provide the following information.
Evidence of wedding preparation
* chat history
* courthouse booking for marriage
Evidence of ongoing communication
* chat history, birthday celebrations, new year, personal letters sent
* call histories
* chat export, and analysis on the text, such as messages sent, frequency of messages sent per week, etc.
Correspondence discussing your future and/or marriage
* chat discussion on career, education, medical, housing, kids, etc
Evidence of financial support
* money transfers for support, and bank statements
* tax return
* financial relation discussions on chat
Evidence of subsequent meeting
* meeting phones, discussions timeline form, plan tickets, booking reservations, passport visa, planning iternary
Evidence of an engagement ceremony
* <this goes in light on the question proposed (ceremony planned in SF courthouse)>
Evidence your and/or the beneficiary's family and friends are aware of the relationship
* communication with parents, both sides (video chat) with screenshots
* communication with siblings and friends
* evidence for plan on second trip for meeting parents, but having to cancel due to covid
Birth certificate of children born to the relationship
* N/A
Any other evidence that might shed light on the intent to marry.
*
Any additional advise would also be appreciated.
