Paragraph "H" (Evidence of a Genuine Engagement) of the K1 Interview Instructions

[Guam PHL 1]

Paragraph "H" (EVIDENCE OF A GENUINE ENGAGEMENT) of the K1 Interview Preparation Instructions states verbatim: You must be prepared to prove to the consular officer that you have a genuine relationship with your petitioner and a clear intention to marry within 90 days of admission into the U.S. In the past, successful applicants have submitted photographs, letters, e-mails, phone records, bank records, and remittance records as evidence supporting their relationships and intent to marry.

I have read comments made by other members of this forum that all the K1 applicant and the petitioner needs to present to the USEM consular as evidence of a genuine engagement per the instructions mentioned above are letters of intent to marry. To anyone whom has already completed their K1 interview and is reading this post, is this true?

There are hundreds of threads here on VJ that would tell you otherwise. The applicant should take all of their evidence of a genuine relationship to their interview.

no one is being asked for the letter of intent to marry anymore. Just bring your package that you sent with your i-129f when you start the process of the k1 visa just need about 12 pictures and some chat logs.

don't be surprised if they don't ask for any of those pictures and that is something that others have found. Most times they do not ask to see the pictures or the proof of relationship.

Hi

I read your "Interview experience" and it sounds like you were given the round around by the caseworkers and the person whom asked you why didn't you get your I-129f notarized (this is sounds really shady on their part). Caseworker #1 instructed you to submit another original I-134. Your fiance spoke to caseworker #1 and caseworker #2 regarding the I-134 and after speaking with #1 and #2 it's interesting that they then changed their mindss and stated to your fiance that you didn't have to submit anything at all. Furthermore, the person whom said to you "Why did you call your fiance? You should've kept this between us filipinos" (something to that effect). Based on the actions and shady statements made by these staff it leads me to believe that they were trying to manipulate you into giving them some kind of incentive so that they can fix the problem on the spot without you having to go through all the trouble of obtaining another copy of the I-134 and it's sad to know that some in the future others might also have to go through this as you did because of shady people like these ones

I was on my cell phone answering the question and I miss a lot of information when I use it to answer questions here.

So let me begin again. Everything that is being asked for in the Embassy Letter is what you bring to the interview. There are some items that others have reported that they are not asking for but don't take the chance and fail to bring one item and have it be the item they ask for. Here is the Embassy letter: http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/1178798/feb2015/K1-K2%20Applicant%20Interview%20Preparation%20Instructions%20-%20English%20_February%202015_.pdf

No one has been asked for the Letter of Intent to Marry in over 3 years. Copies of chat logs, emails, pictures and such are still be asked for. No harm in having the Letter of Intent, but have yet to find anyone that was asked for one in years.
