INQUIRY: K1 Visa Help

[lrodgam 0]

Hello, I am currently engaged to a US Citizen. I live In Guatemala. My fiance and I are having trouble deciding what path to take. We were introduced by my sister in law that lives in the States back in early 2009. She gave me my fiance's email address and we began to get to know each other. We had no intentions of having a romantic relationship, but my fiance was planning a trip to Guatemala and she has no relatives here, so my sister in law thought it was a good idea that I help her around, but also my sister in law's mother. So she finally arrived a few months later and we had a great connection. It felt like we knew each other for years. She came back to visit a few months later. We were still friends, but in that visit we initiated a relationship. Then she came back the following year on her Spring Break... and then again she came with my sister in law and we got engaged... Then she came back a few months later.... then this year... it's been 2 more visits from her.

She is still around, I want to get married, but she doesn't because she doesn't have a few things with her, like her birth certificate or the letter saying she is single and free to get married.... so then she tells me about the K1 and we have been reading a lot about it... but she is still has doubts.. she feels we don't have enough evidence... We don't have call records since she cancelled her mobile service, and when she called she would use a calling card. And we hardly e-mailed each other... we emailed a few times when we were just friends, but after that it was mostly on Skype, but a year later... since I didn't have a computer for the first year. And on Skype she can't get those records because her computer got ruined. And I don't know if I can get mine from mine since I disabled the history saving ability

So we have pictures from every visit she makes, airplane ticket itineraries, she has most of her boarding passes, but I think she lost a few... and well the passport stamps.

Sorry for the rambling.. but to finish this up.... do we have enough evidence? Or should we wait until she comes back and we get married here.

We do not want to waste any more time and we want to be married and living together in the same place.

Advice, feedback will greatly be appreciated.. many thanks in advance...

p.s if we do go the K1 route, within the 90 days of my arrival.. is a wedding ceremony absolutely necessary? We don't have plans to make a huge wedding... since we are short on cash resources... so will a trip to the City Hall suffice?

p.s.s. if we do go the K1 route, she has to file the application in the US?

Most people marry in a court house to meet the 90day requirement and then later on have a large more formal wedding/vow renewal type ceremony. We married in a criminal court room for our wedding.
