Here is what I have so far....

Is this to much? Is there something I should not put what I might have? Any help or suggestions would help.


I-129F Supplement: Part 2, Question 34.a, Explanation of meeting in person.

Dear USCIS officer,

The following were the circumstances under which my fiancé Rossana Paola Zevallos Guillen and I have met.

On June 8, 2012 I was at the club, Vale Todo Downtown, with friends enjoying my little time left in Lima, Peru, and that was the first time we exchanged looks. We felt naturally attracted to each other. It was love at first sight, we didn’t speak to each other until a week after the club, online, via social media, facebook. Shortly after that I flew back home, where we continued to speak via social media, facebook, skype, oovoo, phone calls and more.

After only exchanging eye contact, we decided to take our relationship to the next step in person. The following are times we spent together as our relationship evolved:

1. October 27, 2012 – May 31, 2014: I returned to Peru with intentions on coming back. Our relationship grew stronger, as we spend more time together. I chose to stay in Peru with her and her daughter, and on August 10, 2012 I asked Rossana Paola Zevallos to be my fiancé, not returning back to the United States until May 31, 2014.

2. December 07, 2014 – April 17, 2015: Distance was unbelievably hard, I returned to Peru to spend more time with her and her daughter.

3. October 24, 2015 – March 20, 2016: Returned to spend Christmas together as a family.

We continue our relationship with daily phone calls, chats via facebook, skype, etc. It is hard to believe I will soon marry the woman of my dreams.

Sincerely,

It really only needs to say how you met.

"Amy and I met at a museum in Austin, Texas on April 8th, 2015. I visited Amy again in Spain in July 2016."

They don't need all the other details. Make sure you have proof of your trips.

My answer for that question was 2 sentences long, I was approved without issue.

Your's is fine OP, and you don't need proof for ALL the dates. Just one of them at the end of the day.


Mine was about as long, I stated we met online, when and where we met in person, where he stayed on his first visit, and that he stayed at my home and listed all the dates from arrival to departure. We included the hotel bill for the first one and a few plane ticket stubs from the airport.

You won't get penalized if you write a paragraph like I did unless you write something red flaggy like "Sent my future wife 1000000$ and brought her here to stay with me to try it out for a week or two!". You just need to state that you met in person, and have some proof of that.

Make sure to account for more than just your first visit though because it was more than 2 years from the filing date and it will not satisfy the requirement of meeting in the two years prior to filing. They just need basic details. It should be able to fit on the lines provided on the form. No need for a paragraph that warrants a whole supplement page.

As MorganandMichael pointed out, there's still a lot of unnecessary information there. They don't want to know your love story, they need dates and evidence backing up those dates, as proof that you shared the same time and space.

Ours was this simple and without any problems!!!

"We met i July 2014"

And THEN we have all the supporting documents of meetings. it really don't need to be that long. The little line on the form is fine and long enough.

I did add a little timeline over visits with our supporting documents to give an overview. We had 7 visits before filing.

Ours was "We online in October of 2014 and then in person on June 20th 2015"

Fit snuggly on the lines of the sheet.

I think you are putting to much info. I put on mines that I met him on Facebook than met in person in 2012 with the date and when he proposed I was approved with no issues.. I provide proof of my time there and pictures.

I made ours brief but made it as exact as possible. I wasn't sure if it was enough but I did a lot of overkill in some of my pictures, etc etc. And our K1 was approved today. It's a lot of work. Did it all myself and saved $$$$ on not having to use a Immigration Lawyer. But this site makes it easy.
