K-1 Fiance Visa help

[KevinJB 0]

My fiance and I just started the K-1 Fiance Visa application process. We reviewed the application process on this website, and I'm glad that the instructions here are easy to follow. However there are some concerns that I have and hopefully someone with experience can help.

My fiance and I have many pictures taken together and various receipts of purchases that help prove that I've visited her in her country. But I'm concerned that I don't have all my plane tickets, I have some of them and I have all of my itinerary. Will it be ok for me to not have all the plane tickets? I've visited her two times in the last two years, will not having all my plane tickets cause the application to be denied?

Also if anyone has any tips they would like to give, that would be much appreciated!

Hello!! And welcome to VJ!

Having the boarding passes is usually seen as fantastic evidence because they are one of a kind and printed at the airports themselves.

However, if you do not have them, then there are otherway to prove that you visted her country:

• Did you purchase anything on your credit card whilst in her country? If so get copies of the statements of the duration you were there and highlight the relevant transactions
  
• Make copies of your passport, especially the part where they stamp it. This is seen as evidence that you were approved of entering her country at the POE. This is almost as invaluable as the boarding tickets themselves.
  
• Make sure you copy the reciept of your prrof of purcahse of the airline ticket. Although this only proves that you bought the ticket and not use it, the points above will prove otherwise.
  

Hope this helps!!

This is all great advice! Also, pictures, receipts, Passport, ATM receipts, dinner purchases, parking slips, tickets to events you've been to together (movies, concerts..etc).

Please fill in your timeline so we can follow your journey with you! Good luck!

Yes I do have the stamps on my passport and I do have the receipts on my itinerary! Thanks Brock!

Are the stamps dated as well? If so, this will prove that the date of your flight on the receipt was legitimate and therefore you did use it!

I agree, other evidence such as hotels, events etc... that you have receipts for will go alongside your purchases shown on your credit card!

Relax, there are other ways apart from boarding tickets to use as proof!

Thanks for the help guys, I also had another question. Once I file my I-129F form I also have to prove that I can support my fiance once she lives in the U.S. however I am a full-time university student with a part-time job, my parents help support me financially. Will this slow down or cancel my visa process?

@Brock: Yes the stamps are dated.

I did not have boarding passes or receipts either as I did not know I would need them later.

I sent copies of my passport stamps and of my bank statement for that period showing use of my card for hotel and ATMs, and then pictures and letter describing our meeting.

No problems -no RFE, I hope it's the same for you.

When she goes to the interview at the Embassy, she will need the I134 or affidavit of support that you fill out to prove you can support her, if you do not meet the guidelines you can have a co-sponsor apply also.

There is a huge amount about this in the forums and guides so I will not go into specific dollar amounts and processes, but your not making much money does not kill your chances.

I see, I know there is so much useful information on this website which I will read. I'm just overwhelmed at all the things that need to be done, but since it is for my future wife I'm more than willing to work on visa process. Thanks again for the help and I will be filling out my timeline later!
