so, what is involved?

[firehawk1010 9]

So,

for a K1 - how does it work? I mean from what I understand the person in the US would file for this. So what do they file? What sort of details are on the form they need to fill in?

And in regards to the interview, when does that happen? and what type of questions are asked?

Take some time to study the K1 guide here on VJ ( Guides tab at the top of every page) as well as reading in the K1 forum and the UK regional forum. Lots of good info and members with valuable experience.

Thanks. just looked at the forms.

question: what if the DOB is entered differently than the actual DOB? just the years having a mistake?

Use the DOB which is on the birth certificate.

[firehawk1010 9]

well yes of course but what if it were incorrectly filed in?

another question: does age difference matter? she is older than me - around 10 years.

I am not sure what you mean, but your official date of birth is the date which is on your birth certificate, and presumably in all documents you possess, including your passport. If the date on your birth certificate is incorrect and you wish to change it you need to correct it immediately and have all other documents corrected so they all how the same DOB, lest your application falls into the endless cycle of RFEs....

Age difference does not matter in principle, but it represents a red flag, in some cases. However, if your relationship is legit you need to be worried about it too much.

thanks.

yup, relationship is legit

could I also ask what is RFE?

RFE stands for Request for Evidence, and is a generic term for 'you missed something', 'you forgot something' or 'we need some explanation on something'. It is a way of the USCIS uses to tell you your application process has stopped pending action by the petitioner or the beneficiary.

If your DOB is not the same in all your documents, from birth certificate all the way to your passport, chances are you will find your process being stopped at some point.

i understand.

lets just say that she thinks im 2 years older than my DOB. but i think we all do that when you are dating.... especially women!

If the beneficiary cannot give a correct age when asked at the interview, that may cause doubt in the CO's mind that the relationship is legit.

This is a serious undertaking. Time to come clean to your SO and do some preparation.

[firehawk1010 9]

of course. and I will.

Lucy, you got some 'splaining to do...

and the sooner you set the record straight the better off your relationship is.

[firehawk1010 9]

of course. im going to. so far all is good given the things ive told her so im hoping this will b the same. her situation is quite complicated but still stuck it out...

Um, didn't you start a thread the other day regarding a court case in your past? While London is easy when compared to what some others may face, your court case + incorrect information on your DOB won't look so good. Best get that all cleared up to avoid any issues downline.

[firehawk1010 9]

agreed and thank you. im optimisitc about the court thing. like i said in the other thread, that is not a matter for the relationship.
