Hello!

[PBJ 60]

Apologies if this isn't the done thing around here, but I just wanted to say hello and a big thank you to the community for sharing all this essential information. Immigration is clearly a tricky process, and for good reason, so its a huge relief to have found this place. I've been following all the key advice regarding the K1 visa process for several months now, so its about time I paid my dues and showed some gratitude.

I've just arrived back in the UK after another amazing trip to Los Angeles to be with my girlfriend, who is now my fiancé courtesy of a fairly special surprise I planned for her. If you care to see, its right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kUQ_ewYW6c.

Thanks again and all the best to everyone going through the same process. I'm only just starting out but i'm so happy this website exists to help me and so many others.

Peace,

David

Thanks folks! We are definitely including a DVD copy in our bundle of petition evidence!

Congratulations on your engagement!

You don't need to include a DVD as evidence; just pictures of your event will suffice. Good luck!

Thank you! We're very happy!

I figured it wouldn't hurt to include a copy. Surely it helps support the validity of our relationship...?

I really doubt that the USCIS have any DVD players so there is no point overloading them with unnecessary stuff. Follow the advice on VJ and you should be fine.

Welcome and good luck!

Thank you. Currently spending hours editing down thousands of pages of our Facebook chat log so its a little more manageable and offers a sample. Laborious work but necessary I think since we don't have any phone records (its 2014 - who uses phones anymore?!).

The actual requirements to be documented are

Petitioner is a US citizen- her birth certificate

Both are free to marry- requires divorce decrees if previously married

Intend to marry - letters from each saying free to marry and intend to marry within 90 days of beneficiary's entry.

You have met in person within the last two years- passport stamps, boarding passes, credit card purchases in each other's town/country, etc

(plus all the required forms and the fee)

Some photos together and with family members or friends are nice secondary evidence, but you don't need to over stuff the petition with Facebook, etc. They won't watch your DVD. Prove the requirements and you will be approved. And when you go to the interview in London, they don't want any of that extra fluff so don't knock yourself out preparing things to show you are in love and Facebook and Skype daily. That's a London thing...they won't ask for additional proofs. They might be amused by your proposal story, so do tell them what you did.
