New Here.. Please Help?!?!??!??!?

[Shabz 0]

Hi,

I am new here. As all of you I am too trying to bring my Fiance here on a k-1 visa. He is in Saudi Arabia. We met online 5 and a haf years ago and then met in Kenya (the country i was born in) on July 14, 2009 and got engaged on July 20, 2009.

I have the following paper work

I-29F (signed by both me and him)

Form g-325a (signed by both me and him)

Letter of intent (both from me and him and signed)

Letter of declaration (both by me and him signed)

Passport photo (him and me)

our boarding passes, visa stamps, tickets...

Now i had a question. do i need more stuff to send them, and also. we got engaged infront of my family in kenya but it wasnt a big ceremony and my sister took a video of our engagement. so we dont have actual pictures of him putting the ring on my finger, so from the video we took snapshots and sinc eit is from a digital camera it is very blurry the pixels arent taht great. i mean you can still sort of make it out but is that ok or do i also make a cd of the video and can i send pictures of us being together with family (like random pictures) and pictures of being together. is that ok?

also do i need to send them my birth certificate or his birth certificate and since i am naturalized through a certificate i am sending them a copy of my certificate and it had said front and back but there is nothing on the back. i am also going to send a copy of my passport to be on the safe side.

what else do i need to send? am i missing anything in this packet? i still need to work on my cover letter.

please help me if you can. because we are tired of being apart and want to get this done as soon as possible. :-( :-( its really hard without him. and this site has helped me a lot so i really need advice.

Thank you and sorry for laying all this out.

just send whatever you have! picture of you and your fiance together, w/ relatives is fine too! I remember my fiance now husband sent only 4 pictures, we have 1 picture of us together the rest are picture of me w/ my fiance and my parents, and we have no engagement party, and we got the approval after 4 months... during the first visit of my fiance he ask my BC, he remind me in advanced that he need it for the fiance K-1 petition

yah you need send your BC authenticated!

Good luck!

my birth certificate or his? what do you mean authenticated? my birth cerfiticate is from Kenya. and his is from India but I am a citizen through naturalization. But initially in my I-29f packet I don't have to send them the BIRTH CERTIFICATES do I?

You should send copies of the birth certificates. You will also need to include copies of your US citizenship.

The guides are great help in putting together the package.

You will need to send a copy (NOT the originals) of your Naturalization certificate. I would also send a copy of both the front and back of your birth certificate. Even if nothing is on the back, there may be a stamp or mark of some sort to show validity. Best to include it anyhow.

You cannot include a CD or other media like that. Send along the pictures, with a label of who is in the photo/the occasion on the back. Pictures of him actually placing the ring on your finger is not required - only pictures to prove that you've been together. You require proof of having met your fiance in the last two years - primary evidence like airport tickets/boarding passes, etc. The Passport stamps/Visa you're including are a great asset, and can also be used as proof of identity alongside your Naturalization certificate, so it's definitely a good idea to copy all of the pages of your Passport and send that along too.

For my fiance (the USC), I included his long form birth certificate and a copy of his passport. I included a copy of my own birth certificate as well, though I don't recall whether or not this was required.

Along with following the guides, you may want to do some reading through the regional forums for your fiance's country specifically. For the most part, you only need to include proof of having met in the last two years with your original petition - the rest is to be brought to the interview. However, some countries that may be considered high fraud require a bit more evidence up front to prove validity of the petition. The regional forums are a great help in determining this.

I have a couple of thoughts:

1. Engagement ceremonies can look to some COs like weddings. Especially when rings are being exchanged in front of a big audience. Be very cautious when presenting this evidence on the K-1. Especially as you have this ceremony in a different culture than the one the CO in Saudi Arabia may be familiar with.

2. DO send photos of you and him and with family.

3. For difficult consulates - I have a feeling that yours is one of them - it is best to "front load" your petition with lots of relationship evidence, so include your phone records, screen shots of your inbox, chat log summaries, etc. When you send these things along with the petiton, there is no chance that a CO can refuse to accept more, as it's already in your file when they get it.

Hi... First, I'd like to wish you luck on your journey... I think it's better to provide more than less... But with regards to CD of the video, I think it's not a good idea. Printed photos would be better taken during the ceremony especially with the family... Goodluck and hope my contribution helped...
