K1 Visa Filing

[hanson 0]

If anyone on here has gone through this same problem please help. I have a foreign fiancee in the Philippines. She and I have been seperated over the past couple of years because of financial hardship which has postponed my abilities to file for her visa. We have kept in contact by corrispondence through e-mails, online chats, phone calls and regular postal mailings. There is a question on the I-129 F form that states in order to file the K1 application I must have met in person my fiancee within two years prior to the filing. Doe's this mean before I can file the application that I need to go back to the Philippines to show recent proof of our relationship because it's been awhile since I was last there (January 2007)? Or can I file the application by providing proof of our ongoing relationship?

you have to have been in each others presence (ie... face-to-face) within the previous two years.... ongoing relationship evidence means nothing to the USCIS

In you case it is time to book a flight

Yes

And not proof of relationship, proof of physically meeting together within 2 years prior to the filing.

Or can I file the application by providing proof of our ongoing relationship?

No

I have to agreed with Baron555. You should start visiting her or she can visit you under tourist visa to prove you guys meet within 2 years before start filing for K1 visa.

Yes, you must have met WITHIN the last two years. So that means that you must have met between December 28, 2007-today.

Good luck

You will be going to the PIs before filing that petition. In case you read the part about "extreme hardship" which is boiler plate language, consider that the K-1 process requires you to prove, TWICE, that you can financially support your fiancee once she arrives. Claiming a financial hardship to visit her is not wise.

Buy a ticket and go to the PIs. Have a nce trip.

You're going to need to go back and see her and when you do keep/collect evidence of the trip. I doubt you can get a tourist VISA for a woman from the Philippines. The requirements are daunting.

Good luck

just today somebody posted a rejection... he filed 14 days late after the 2 years and lost the 455 and got turned down.

so go and visit..or if cheeper find place you both can meet in and spend some time.

2 years is 2 years. they do not make exceptions
