Evidence

[RD007 4]

Hello VJ Community,

As per the FAQ section of K-1 visas: "...you will be required to show that you have personally met your fiance(e) within the previous 2 years."

I met my fiance in 2007 and I was planning on taking those phone records to the interview.

My question is when I send the petition so I need to provide evidence that we met in 2007 (but it was not until last year 2012 when we initiated our relationship) or can I just limit the evidence to within the previous 2 years?

I'd say include evidence that you 2 met in the last 2 years, and on Q18 on I-129f, write exactly when and where you first met (2007) to the present day, like a very short story. The rest of the evidence, from 2007 to the present, you can take it to the interview.

I saw someone a couple weeks back with this same issue and what had been the initial recommendaton is that you have to met once within two years to the date. Anything past that would not meet the timeframe. The petitioner appealed this because she had unusual circumstances ie. medical, sole provider, that required her to remain here in the US and would limit her to make a return trip after the two years. Her petition was approved but she provided a lot of documentation; notes from the doctor, work, pics of meds taken by her child, and proof that she and her mom had met her beneficiary prior to the two years expiry date.

Thanks so much!

I did write a very short paragraph.....I did not provide a page worth....it all fit in that box...

That's what I thought about the evidence.....Just needed some reassurance!

Very much appreciated!!!

I see. Well fortunately that is not my case. I have been able to visit 4 times within the past year....so I think we should be ok.

DR is a high fraud country....so I want to cover all my bases....

Very much appreciated! Thanks for the info!

If you haven’t met her in-person in the last two years, your fiancé is not eligible for the K-1 visa.
