K-1 Visa - Abby and John

[abbyhawk 7]

Hi everyone!

My name is Abby and I live in Atlanta, GA. I'm engaged to an awesome man named John who lives outside Toronto, Canada. We met playing video games on Xbox and have met in person 3 times over the last year (once for almost a month)!

We've been gathering paperwork for almost a month now and we're just about ready to submit. I'm so grateful for this website because it made it SOO much easier! Any question I had was already answered with a quick search.

I'm looking forward to getting this big binder in the mail and updating my timeline! Unfortunately I see that I-129Fs from Georgia go to the Texas service center , but hopefully it won't take too long!

Welcome!

We were the opposite, he was the USC and I was from Toronto. Although we went the Cr1 route, I hope this site can help. Where exactly are you both from? I lived in Roncesvalles and moved to Smyrna.

Good luck

Right now everything everything is being sent to CSC. Also if you have a big binder you have waaay to much stuff. I'm guessing in the evidence department, people seem to misunderstand that section. They want proof you met in person in the last two years, not proof of your whole relationship. Anyway, good luck and be happy you'll be sent to CSC, despite every K1 being sent there they are still approving them at 4-5 weeks.

That is good news! I'm waiting on the signed forms from my fiance to come in the mail and then it'll be sent off!

It's a one inch binder, so I guess not that big ! We have met in person three times in the past year, so I have all the flight confirmations and passport stamps, etc. I was putting together snippets of our convos from each month of the last 2 years, but you're right, that's probably overkill.

That's awesome! My fiance is in Barrie and I live in Virginia Highland .

Hi Abby,

Welcome, congratulations and good luck!

Don't fear Texas: that's where our petition went and it took 3 months from filing the I-129F to receiving Consulate advice (P3/4). Was actually pretty amazed how fast it all went through in the USA.

Above is correct. Relationship proof at the I-129F stage is simply that you have met in the last 2 years. For this, we simply provided photos of us together in both Australia and the USA with dates. Easy. The full-detail stuff should be ready to be given at the Consular interview stage, but you have plenty of time for that.

Thanks for the advice! I'm including flight confirmations, passport stamps, and photos.
