Meeting in person within two years before filing K1 Visa Petition

[Andie 147]

What?! My fiancé and I refer to each other as husband and wife all the time - in e-mails and in cards we send each other whilst apart. And I've used his surname for requesting travel brochures and the like. We feel like we are husband and wife but we aren't legally.

Are you saying that someone was denied the K1 visa because someone in authority thought they were married rather than engaged because they called each other husband and wife?

Yes it has happened.

For that reason it would not be a good idea to use any copy of communications with that reference as it can (and has been in the past) assumed that you are already married and therefore not eligible for a K1.

Is this particular embassys that are concerned about this? We have been referring to each other as husband and wife for the last 8 or 9 months. There is no communication between us that doesn't refer to us as husband and wife! Every e-mail we've sent each other. Every card we've sent each other. Every video we've made and sent each other.

Oh well. There's nothing we can do now. Our history can't be re-written.

Thank you so much in advance

You have to met within the last two years whern filing the petition. So you should be okay from that point of view.

However, as you haven't met in some time, I would think that you will need to provide plenty of evidence that your relationship is continuing - e.g. e-mails, text chats, Skype logs, etc.
