He came here last august to meet me in person as well as my family and now he's coming back for 2nd time , were planning to file a petition this december when he goes back to states (wisconsin, we'll be preparing those papers already before he left PH but we don't know how and where to start. He want to ask lawyers but told him that they can't help us really according to claims of others it'll just cost us a lot of money. Thanks really appreciate your replies

Hi this is Josie, nice to hear ur about to start ur visa journey. I would say that it is a lot better to do ur fiance visa without a lawyer coz ur right it will cost you a lot. The guidelines for fiance visa is also found on this site all the necessaryI papers that u needed are all here.Just make sure u already have ur passport and an NSO issued birth certificate.In my case i had to give the following documents to my fiance.

1. Photocopy of all the pages of my passport

2. original copy of my birth certificate

3. letter of intent to marry ( note must have ut original sign) example of this letter can be found also in this site.

4. fill up form G - 325a and I- 129 form.( must have ur oginal signature)

i guess these are the docs i can remember, but as i have said pls refer to the guidelines for the packet.

Tips: pls keep all the receipts you have during the holiday with ur fiance coz some of it will be needed and travel boarding passes of your fiance back and forth from his frist visit and 2nd visit as well Me and my fiance is already on the interview stage, which im going to have on NOV.23.. goodluck and for sure GOD will be on ur side..

Hi, and welcome here. :) Congratulations that you both are about to file for K1 petition. Firstly, you guys really don't need a lawyer, unless you can't have time to print documents for the petition. :) You can save more time and money if you will do it yourself, plus, you'll really learn big things. Just familiarize yourself with the process, you can do research.

For filing the petition, your fiance need to fill up the form I-129F , both of you too will fill up G-325A form signed and dated, prepare an intent to marry letter again with signature, photo copy of birth certificate, passport and attached with plane itinerary, photos of you together with date, hotel receipt, divorce decree if your fiance is divorce, chat logs, emails record for supporting evidence. :)

That's all, and oh! A payment of $340. :)

Good luck and God bless you both with your journey.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to Him,
and He will make your paths straight.

In GOD we trust. † = ♥

First of all congrats to you both. We used easyfiancee visa we did the plat. service . They did a nice job but i feel that the plat service was a waste of money I would recommend them on filling out your forms basic service. It give you piece of mind and it saved us from mistakes that we would have made during filing. The longest part of your visa journey is waiting on NOA2. Check out their website and see for yourself if it is right for you. Whatever you do best of luck and prepare to be paient dont let waiting on NOA2 rule your lives. This is a long process!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Photocopy of all the pages of my passport. You don't need the copy of beneficiary's passport yet, wait for the approval and take this to the interview.

2. original copy of my birth certificate. Again you don't need this also until approval and interview

3. letter of intent to marry ( note must have ut original sign) example of this letter can be found also in this site. Original copy and ink signed Letter of Intent from petitioner and beneficiary.

4. fill up form G - 325a and I- 129 form.( must have ur oginal signature). Original copies of G-325A and ink signed by petitioner and beneficiary. For I-129F, only the petitioner will sign this form and original copy.

i guess these are the docs i can remember, but as i have said pls refer to the guidelines for the packet.

Tips: pls keep all the receipts you have during the holiday with ur fiance coz some of it will be needed and travel boarding passes of your fiance back and forth from his frist visit and 2nd visit as well Me and my fiance is already on the interview stage, which im going to have on NOV.23.. goodluck and for sure GOD will be on ur side..

Welcome to VJ Family!(F)

Yeah, no need to hire a lawyer.:) Just keep reading relevant Guides & Wikis posted in this very dynamic and comprehensive website. Then you can also do research from past and present K-1 cases who got approved, denied, and for further administrative processing. These will give you some valuable insights to work on your K-1 requirements. As you go along, you would realized it is very easy steps / processes. If you aren't sure or somewhat confused on any requirement/s, you can post your queries or concerns, I'm sure a lot of VJs would be glad to help you. If I'm around, I also try my best to help in anything. Also, it is best to invite your Fiance on this site so he could do research and know better, as he is the one petitioning. Good luck and enjoy your time with him! Stay in love ! :)
