Hello all,

First Question:

The very first trip I took to see my fiance in China we did not take any pictures of us together. I know that sounds strange. Why the heck would you not take any pictures together? We just had so much fun we did not even really think about it. I have my plane tickets, some ticket stubs to an amusement park, and five written statements from my fiances friends and family stating they met me. I did take a second trip to China just recently (I have plenty of evidence for meeting this trip) and we did take plenty of pictures this time so I will include that in my evidence for meeting in the last two years. Do you think it is worth it to include the evidence I have for my fist visit even though I have no pictures or is my evidence simple not strong enough and I should just leave it out.

Second Question:

With my K1 visa petition package do I need to put all of my items held together by some specific method other than placing them in a large envelop? Can I just place the items in a large shipping envelope in the same order as listed on my cover sheet and this will be ok? Any suggestions?

Thanks for your replies in advanced =)

I can only give you my opinion. I would encourage you to add any evidences of both of your trips to your fiance. This can only help you in establishing a real and bonafide relationship. The fact that you went to see her twice could really help your case.

Second Question:

Again, my opinion and what worked for me was just putting it into a shipping envelope unbound. I did however put any photographs into a baggie to make sure they were kept together and waterproofed. I also attached our passport photos with a small paper clip to each of our G-325A's respectively. That is what I did and I had not problems.

Thanks for your replies in advanced =)

Hope that helps! Best of Luck to you!

Send the evidence that you have that proves you met (in person) within the two years prior to submitting the petition. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. Plane tickets, photos, receipts, etc.. If your first visit was within the past two years then include the evidence you have for that one as well.

I've read several posts that USCIS uses ACCO fasteners (two hole type) at the top. Thats what I used. I would avoid staples, some people use paperclips. I would use some sort of clip to keep everything together in the envelope; you don't want anything falling out when it's opened.

Good Luck!

And within minutes I must correct myself. Do not use ACCO fasteners as it is clearly stated in item 3 found here. http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD\

I guess I got lucky!

Excellent! Thanks for your opinions. Glad that it worked out for you =) It sounds like you did the mostly same thing I am doing with my K1 petition package. Yes I have all of my photo's in bags attached to a piece of paper that states some basic information about photos. I don't think i will attach everything together and leave them loose in a nice sturdy envelop.

Operator - That link is for the Chicago Lockbox only. I think the K1 Visa package gets sent to the Texas Lockbox and the ACCO fasteners are fine. I certainly hope so as that's what I used. :whistle:

I used them too and didn't have any problems. I just found it interesting that a USCIS website would specificaly state not to use ACCO fasteners.:blink:
