The first Gay K-1 Fiance Visa Progress with DOMA repeal on the Horizon (Tim & Keno)

[DefunctAccount 45]

Keno and I are starting to slowly prepare all the documentation we are going to need to submit our I-129F. We want to take our time with the whole process to make sure every 'i' is dotted and every 't' is crossed. Being one of the first same-sex bi-national couples to immigrate to the US on a K-1 visa on the heels of a potential victory in the Supreme Court on June 27th means we don't want anything to go wrong on our end.

While we cannot file our I-129F until DOMA is repealed, we want to be ready the instant it is to submit our paperwork because it is such a time-consuming process.

Keno is currently securing his passport quality photos which he will include in his packet of info (G-325a, statement of intent to marry) that he will send to me in late January. He should have them within the week.

To everyone who supports us, thank you very much - you have no idea how much kind words and support means to us.

To those who wish us ill or dislike us because of our sexuality, please just avoid posting inflammatory comments and leave us be - that's all we ask and we do wish you the best of luck on your journey to bring your loved one to the US.

You might want to keep a journal and details of your petition, it will help many others

That's my hope - is to help others by detailing out our progress - do you think we should wait to get the pictures then till like February? I'm more concerned because it takes a month for us to send and receive mail between each other.

Technically the photos are supposed to be recent, but USCIS won't really know how old they are.

You should certainly set up a page or a blog when you are ready to start the process!

Get the passport photos and signed G-325A and letter of intent closer to the date you are planning to file. I know you are excited and want to get everything ready, but you want to have the photos and signature dates as recent as possible. I personally think you might want the forms dated after DOMA is repealed, just to be on the safe side. In the meantime, work on other evidence to include like the passport stamps, boarding passes, photos, etc. Have another visit together in person to strengthen your evidence for the petition and interview phase. I wish you both the very best of luck!

Good luck! If I were you I'd consider opening a blog or something to keep others posted.
