There are several ways to reduce file size. There are even some sites where you can upload the document and it will spit out a smaller filesize. (I don't personally recommend these as you are uploading pretty seriously personal information, but that's just me being me.) You can also use several programs that do the same thing. Adobe has the feature built in if you have the paid version. I had to watch few YouTube videos before I could find an exact method that worked for me. Good luck!

Though the best advice you'll get on this thread, you've already gotten. Go meet your fiancé and spend some time together. You've got a long way to go before you'll be able to provide sufficient evidence. Edit because I just noticed: Roll Tide.

Searching Bonafide evidence in the search bar will pull up hundreds of posts from other folks recommending as well as sharing what they submitted. Here's an example: I-130 Evidence of Bona Fide Marriage - IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures - VisaJourney There's no RIGHT evidence, you just have to prove your relationship to the person working on your case. You can get creative, but my case was fairly cut and dry so I can't provide too much help.

I haven't been around that long, but I very rarely see cases where I think K1 is worth it. ESPECIALLY if you have already decided to get married. Regardless, you'll need proof of your relationship, or you'll be hit with scrutiny at just about every turn best case scenario, or worst case scenario you get hit with a never ending chain of RFE's until you can provide substantial evidence. You don't HAVE to provide leases, it just fit our situation so we were able to. There are plenty of folks approved on here who hadn't lived together physically. I'd focus on meeting her SOMEWHERE and documenting that as well as you can but don't expect that to be ample evidence. If I were a USCIS agent, just one trip wouldn't be enough for me, but I'm not, so my opinion doesn't matter.

Luckily, you've already found the most helpful site on DIY immigration. However, if you haven't met your fiancé yet, that's a much bigger issue in the eyes of USCIS. You have to have proof of a bonafide relationship, to give you an example, I used marriage certs, 3 years of pictures together with my family and my wife's, an apartment lease with both of our names on it, etc. You're going to need stuff like that lined up before you move any further.

Unfortunately, your attorney is right. There isn't much that can be done while waiting for the I-130, and the wait times depend on service center, complication of your case, if George is working that day instead of Daniel, and most of all just plain luck. I would check out the timelines of folks in your similar situation and see if you can find others who are still waiting. If you really feel as though there's an issue, you can reach out to USCIS only AFTER you are outside of normal processing time (normal for Nebraska according to USCIS is 10.5 months, so around the end of February.) In the meantime, I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with the NVC process. Your attorney is being paid to handle it, so it's up to you, but I don't think it would hurt. Good luck! Hope you get a response soon!

Hello everyone! Everyone hanging in there? My wife was DQ'd on January 7th and we are waiting on the interview date from Tokyo. Anyone else in a similar boat?

We were DQ'd this morning! Email from NVC regarding scheduling of the interview (not a date, just what that they are going to be contacting our consulate) recieved as well. The i-864 and proof of US citizenship for the joint sponsor section shows "submitted" while everything else shows accepted. But with the emails and the DOCUMENTARILY QUALIFIED notification on CEAC, I'd say we are OK. Great news for everyone here, really. We were DQ'd in less than 40 days! Good luck to you all! ☺️

Hello all! I'm in the process of organizing all of my documents for NVC (waiting on Japanese police cert to hit submit). As I was reviewing our package, I realized that we forgot to mention an address that my wife (beneficiary) had while she studied abroad in Australia (homestay). She maintained her address in Japan the whole time. This is the only address she's ever had outside of her home country (Japan) . Luckily, she only stayed there for 5 months and 20 days so no police report is needed. What's the best course of action? Wait for DQ and contact the consulate? Tell them at the interview? Contact the NVC ASAP? I know many ds260 mistakes can be fixed during the interview, but I just want to be sure that spending time in another country 8 years ago isn't one of the "big" mistakes that can't be fixed! Thanks for any advice!

Hello everyone! I didn't see a thread for us April folks yet. We are almost 3 months into our wait! Time is actually going by fairly quickly for me. Probably because I'm overworked...
