Hello everyone, I’m new to the site and still trying to work my way around it so apologies if this has been asked before!
I’m Irish, and my fiancé is American. We met while he was studying in Ireland, but he moved back to the US 2 months ago. We’re ready to start the K-1 visa process, but since he’s recently moved, bought a car, and is furnishing his apartment, he doesn’t have the funds for the I-129F filing fee at the moment.
We want to get the ball rolling as soon as possible. So my question is, can I send him money to help him get the process started? Or will doing so cause issues later in our application?
For context, he does meet the minimum income requirement (he’s a junior doctor), but he’s just getting settled again after moving.
Thanks in advance for your help!
