K-1 filing help

[madi.jl 0]

I'm completely new to the site so forgive me if I post this in the wrong place!

I was hoping I could get help with a few different questions I have for filing the I-129F for my Canadian boyfriend.

1. I'm going to be 18 in one month but am hoping to send my paperwork in before that. if I include a notarized parental consent affidavit, and maybe a copy of Washington state law that says I can marry with their permission, will this be enough?

2. I see my boyfriend every weekend (for the last 3 years) since he lives 3 hours away, so I don't have a lot of evidence like plane tickets, itineraries, or anything. I have lots of pictures, a hotel receipt and my boarding pass from one trip we took, also my dad is my pastor and he wrote a statement that he will do our wedding, etc. Should we ask the border guard who knows my bf to write a note saying he knows us? Maybe letters from people we know?

I'm not sure how much info the USCIS is looking for, and what can just wait till the interview. Thank you!!!!!

I'm not sure about #1, because I don't know how that works. But to answer your second questions - we had that, letters from other people, so why not. At the end they didn't need it, but 'what if'.. They wrote how they met us and when etc. I printed my pictures from Facebook, because that way, you can see when I posted it, but it's not necessary, I just thought it'd be a good idea. I also printed our Facebook conversation.

Yes

They know all about the ease of travel between the US and Canada. No need for tons of statements.

I was hoping I could get help with a few different questions I have for filing the I-129F for my Canadian boyfriend. I-129F is for fiancés, not boyfriends. Start calling him what the visa is actually for.

1. I'm going to be 18 in one month but am hoping to send my paperwork in before that. if I include a notarized parental consent affidavit, and maybe a copy of Washington state law that says I can marry with their permission, will this be enough? I'd say wait the month, avoid sending in extra paperwork. Especially since you won't need their permission in one month.

2. I see my boyfriend every weekend (for the last 3 years) since he lives 3 hours away, so I don't have a lot of evidence like plane tickets, itineraries, or anything. I have lots of pictures, a hotel receipt and my boarding pass from one trip we took, also my dad is my pastor and he wrote a statement that he will do our wedding, etc. Should we ask the border guard who knows my bf to write a note saying he knows us? Maybe letters from people we know? Wouldn't hurt to ask the guard if he knows both of you and has seen you together.

as for nº1, I don't know exactly, but I believe that what you are suggesting is enough evidence.

About the evidence, I'd think it is enough to print pictures of you two together, specially if they can be screenshots of them posted on social media, which will show the dates and likes/comments from other friends, making it more real in my opinion.

Anything extra wouldn't hurt, so if you can get letters from people it would be good, but I'm pretty sure it'll be ok if you have evidence of other kinds, like pictures. Add boarding passes or hotel receipts if you have them too, why not.

Don't bother with letters/chat logs if you have pictures. They don't really bother to pay attention to them and they aren't all that reliable. When we sent our evidence for the I-129f, I made the mistake of putting the 18 pages of evidence in chronological order, meaning that the first 6 pages or so where only chat logs (we hadn't met in person yet) and THEN came the trips and pictures together. I ended up getting a RFE stating that chat logs and letters weren't counted as evidence, so I believe they were too lazy to look at the whole amount of evidence and find the pictures. I ended up sending them 5 pages of pictures together + boarding passes, hotel receipts and passport stamps, and it was all they needed apparently.
