K-1

This question may have been asked before but I am going to ask it anyway... I am the USC and will one day file on behave of my fiance. My question is for all of you filers, who was the person most trusted to file the papaerwork ie. the man or the woman? I do not ask to be prejudice but to prevent any delays and for accuracy purposes. Is it based on the more knowledeable person or do the woman primarily do all the filing and just leave the man up to the signing?

The USC should be filing the petition

Whoever is better at this sort of stuff. Both. Depends on your situation. Hardly a gender issue...

[Laurka 65]

I read it and I'm like huh?? o.O What does the gender have to do with this at all? You're in it together so you should fill out the paperwork together. Or if it's not possible (you're away from each other at the point of filing; foreign fiance(e) is not fluent in English), most of the work is up to the US Citizen.

Not only SHOULD the USC file the petition, they MUST file the petition regardless of gender.

Filing the I-129F form is basically the USC asking for permission for his fiance to then apply for the K-1 visa at the US Embassy nearest where they live. Once USCIS approves the USC petition, then the onus falls upon the beneficiary to do the necessary steps to acquire the Visa.

I think the OP is referring to who is the main organiser and leader of the paperwork stuff. My fiance and I thought he would be the best at compiling the info and organising it as im pretty unorganised and scatty but I surprised both of us by being pretty organised and efficient.... That being said, we really work tremendously well with each other, and ended up doing around 50/50....

What a strange and somewhat offensive question.

Petition is the USC's responsibility, and then the non-USC takes over for the actual visa application. But both need to provide stuff for both parts of the process.

[J and S 38]

For filing the petition, I did all work. "I" being both a woman and the USC. My husband did all the work on his end regarding the visa.

It'll depend on who's more responsible and organized. Or, if English is a barrier then the USC will do pretty much most (if not all) of the work.

So basically. Whoever feels most comfortable. But, most of it will naturally lay on the USC's responsibility in the beginning.

Thank you Azsara, you were the only one that was really understanding my point. My fiance {HE}, is not as organized as I am but can do it if necessary. So basically I was wanting to see the norm not that gender mattered. I am still new at this and still learning.

Why you would be offended is beyond me...It was a personally question about me and my fiance. No names mentioned and I stated in the beginnig it was not to show prejudice

I understand your position and appreciate the candor. I am the organized one and happen to be the petitioner and the "nagging" one also so I am taking the lead in this process. My fiance has a laid back attitude and waits untll the last minute for everything so this has truly been an exercise in patience for me so far. As previously suggested by the other posters I suggest whomever is the organizer and task-oriented one should take the lead on this one just for the sake of peace and to avoid any headaches. My fiance is great at talking me "off the ledge" when I am overwhelmed so it balances out in the end.

Good Luck!

in our Petition, my Fiance (USC) and I both participated in organizing our first packet.

Since my fiance has most of the evidence of meeting in person, like the passport stamps, luggage tags, receipts, flight boarding passes, itineraries;

so he was the one who compiled those.He scanned,saved and uploaded in Google drive.

And for me, since my fiance is working and i am not, I did the compilations of the chat logs, pictures of meeting in person, call logs, remittances receipts,etc..

I also made the draft of the forms we will be needing

then we put all these docs in Google Drive where both of us can access the files then edit what needs to be edited,reviewed, finalized then printed.

then the other docs that needs to be sent from my country were shipped just in time then my fiance compiled all the papers then sent to USCIS.

Google drive helped us a lot esp in reviewing our papers... we can both at the same time open a file then discuss then finalize.. both of us sees what one put on the form and if it is right or wrong..or if it needs to be edited, etc.. so I think Google drive and the likes helps a lot.. atleast one would not wonder what the other put on his/her form before printing or signing.

So for those who are just starting in compiling their first packet, Google drive and the likes is what i can recommend to use
