Quick Question: For K-3, spouse visa, how relevant is Q18 of the I-129F, evidence of you having met your fiancee in the last two years??
Doesn't marriage certificate satisfy that?
Also, with the I-130, I am submitting 'proof of bonafide marriage relationship' (marriage certificate, marriage pics, honeymoon pics, marriage invitation card, receipts from our banquet hall reservations, airline tkts, etc etc). Should I submit a copy of everything here as well??
Or is it NOT required here for spouses??
Please guide.
Thanks,
Joe

Please read the section of the I-129F form's instructions that addresses its use for a spouse.

If I remember correctly K3s are not required to answer questions 17 and 18 on the I-129F.
Just put N/A
As for the I-130!!! More ammo the better. Just make 3 copies of everything you submit of both applications

Here is a link to the sample I-129F form for K3:

http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-129F-K3.pdf

Proof of bonafide marriage includes:

Note: Evidence of a Bonifide Marriage
The USCIS now requires that when filing an I-130 for a spouse that you include evidence of a bonifide marriage. They list examples of acceptable evidence as:
1. Documentation showing joint ownership or property; or
2. A lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence; or
3. Documentation showing co-mingling of financialresources; or
4. Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to you, thepetitioner, and your spouse together; or
5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties havingpersonal knowledge of the bona fides of the maritalrelationship (Each affidavit must contain the full nameand address, date and place of birth of the person makingthe affidavit, his or her relationship to the petitioner ofbeneficiary, if any, and complete information and detailsexplaining how the person acquired his or herknowledge of your marriage); or
6. Any other relevant documentation to establish that thereis an ongoing marital union.

Thanks edp33.
I realize we need to enclose these (proofes of bonafide marriage) with the I-130, but wasn't sure if I had to do the same with the I-129F; sounds like I do NOT. Correct?
Joe

Correct, and you don't have to prove you met in person. You're married. You prove that.

Thanks pushbrk...
