[wife2be. 7]

hello my dear VJS.as much as am almost zoombied cos of too much infomation i have to take in,and pass over to my fiance who lives in massachussettes,over the weekend i still need to find out a few more things and hope u guys will still coperate and help me out.Ok so we filled out the required forms and he put everything in the packet.hopefully he ships it in today at midday.what i want to know is how do u pack everything in the packet,hes going to show me the packet via skype at midday which will be 8 pm ghana time but 3 pm us time, sorry to sound like some freak,but my fiance really doesnt know anything about filling ,i learnt everything we had to get and had to know right here on vj.thanks to all u great people.esp zeebee.SHES been really marvelous and Midge mij.The waiting period hasnt began but i must say that its been very hard for me and for all other VJs going tru the waiting period.it was my dream for us to live here in Ghana but sincd he cant find his way around here i guess i have to make the big move..all i want to know is how to put every thing in the package.we have 5 photos from his trip together,his affidavit of support,his passport photocopy (where his ghana visa was stumped) emails,all other forms required,my passport pictures.but we dont have phone records.wanted to know if our skype call records could replace that.someone suggested skype historian which was of great help.however when i tried saving our phone records on skype didnt appear.so does it mean i have to send our phone records from gh to him.this afternoon? cos i do have that.if not should we mail the package without the phone records? am a bit confused as at now.cos we dont have phone records in the package ,and we are mailing this afternoon.

NO affidavit of support and financial docs in the K-1 petition package! It will be for the interview.

Please, review your package with the "Assembling the I-129F Package: Checklist" at this link: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

There are answers to all your questions on how to prepare your K-1 petition package.

After you sent the package, your fiance will receive a first notice of action (NOA1) after about 10 days. K-1 process flowchart is here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1flow

And I would add, don't hurry to send your package if you didn't check at least 3 times that you have all in the checklist, and review that all the forms are completed correctly (it can happen easily to miss checking a little case, or anything…).

Follow the check list as stated, do not read anything into this process and keep the steps separated as different forms are needed. Read and reread them again and again, make sure both of you have an exact copy. Good Luck. If you get an RFE you are looking at a 30 day delay in most cases.

You will receive a RFE (Request For Evidence) if you forgot to include a document, if you forgot to check a box, if you didn't provide enough proof of having met in the last 2 years (it doesn't mean you need to send them a lot, but quality ones)…

It's better to lose few days and be sure you followed the checklist than losing a month or more because of a RFE.

can u kindly tell me some of the stuff u sent as proof of evidence? we are sendng a photocopy of his passport stamps and photos.is that not enough?

[jarta 24]

photocopy of his Ghanaian visa and entry stamp is a good enough proof. also date the pictures and write names of the people in it and the location the picture was taken. the entry stamp with the date is a good proof. i don't think you really need any call record, but you can add it if it makes you feel any better. its also very important to make sure you sign and check every box you are required to.

The guides mentioned above are the way to go! They were put together that did their visa journey before you, their experiences make up the guides.

[skiptex 225]

ya'll have met in the in the last two years yes?! i forgot if mentioned that in the other threads you have..

[jarta 24]

thank u jarta.but what do u mean by check every box? .please cud u explain further? sorry for being a bother

i mean every box your required to check on the forms. just as everyone is saying, go to the link for K1 guide (http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide) on this site, its very very very helpful. that is what i used and i never got an RFE. read everything there carefully. and after filling forms, read over everything to make sure you have everything right.

[skiptex 225]

when i was done..

i put sections together with paper clips.. and i even put a cover page with a very short 1 sentence description of what was in that sections.. like little dividers..

[Dan & Jenni 457]

besides reading the guides you should also look at the I-129F and G-325A example forms as they are good for showing you where to enter "N/A" or "NONE".

for proof of having met you need to send in copies of passport stamps and visas (include a copy of the bio page), boarding passes and flight itineraries are good to use alongside the passport stamps (make sure all dates are clearly readable), photos (with dates, location, and who is in the picture written on the back or underneath if the photo is stuck to a sheet of paper).
