Unsure...Is this enough?

Hi all

So the mister and I are putting together our K1 pack.

I'm checking through everything and have a possibly stupid question for you all.

We met whilst both on vacation in Las Vegas. He lives in the US, I live in the UK. So I have attached my passport stamp (unfortunately lost my boarding pass & ticket, but have also attached my booking itinerary from the travel agent) As he lives in the US already he didn't get a passport stamp and lost his boarding pass and ticket too so we have attached the flight & hotel booking itinerary from the online travel agent and also his bank statements which show he spent money in Las Vegas at the time.

Is this enough?

Also, he came to visit me in London. We have his passport stamp showing entry into the UK & also his flight ticket. Do I need to prove I was in London at the same time even though I live here?

Thanks

As long as you have evidence that puts you both in one location at the same time, it is sufficient. The more evidence, the stronger your case. Photos are secondary evidence but if you have photos next to clearly recognizable landmarks, those are much stronger than selfies at say a random restaurant. Pictures together with family and friends are solid to as secondary evidence.

As for primary evidence, my wife and I provided the following from our Singapore vacation in our front load:

1. Airline boarding passes/stubs

2. Passbook stamp photo copies

3. Hotel receipt and room key scans

4. Shopping and restaurant receipts

5. Gift/souvenir receipts

6. Pictures of us near popular Singaporean landmarks like the Sands, Universal Studios and the Singapore Flyer.

I just included a copy of my passport with the visa stamps to Europe and 8 pictures of us. I had nothing from his passport or any receipts.

Caveat: We also met while attending and working at the same university, so that may have helped.

We had;

- Airline reciept

- Passport stamp

- I-94 (online version)

- bank statement for both of us, showing we made payments at or around the same place and at or around the same time.

- two pictures (and not a really clear ones either) without any distinguishable landmarks.

No RFE

The itenaries show that you purchased the flights, but the boarding passes prove that you took the flight. If he came to visit you, use that in addition to what you already have. The proof that you were home when he came to visit, is by submitting color photos of you two together, restaurant receipts, etc.

I've been reading a lot about this process here on the site. There is a lot of good information here. Now is the best time to file from what I've been reading. Some K1 petitioners are still waiting. I used a visa service, but if you choose to do it yourself, make sure check EVERYTHING over four times. There are lots of checklists here too. Good luck to you both.

Yes, the passport stamps from both your trips, plus the extras like the receipts and bank statements are good. You can add in some photos of you two together from each trip as secondary evidence to show you were together.

We just put:

Two airplane stubs from two of his trips and two pictures, I also detailed EVERY time he's come into the US with timeframes and where he stayed in the "explain how you met" extra page. No RFE.
