Hello,

After reading so many topics on the REF and not findind anyone in my situation, I would like to ask a couple questions.

Me and my fiance met in November 2015, he spent 4 days here in Brazil but we hate taking pictures. We took one of us together but we were not aware of this type of Visa process. We didn't stay in the hotel together because I live here in João Pessoa it wouldn't make any sense for me at the time, to make him spend more if I could simply go back home at night and meet him again in the morning and spend all day together. Now I see it was a big mistake. When we decided to read a month later of a way for me to live with him, we started to learn about the K1. We applied to the process, and he received the NOA1 but I'm freaking out and crying a lot because we won't be able to meet again till the end of this process.

It seems that he flight and hotel tickets won't be enough to prove anything according to rapidvisa and only one picture is not enough. What should we do, if he can't visit me because of his work?

Bigger issue is one short visit.

You can send in the boarding passes and copy of the stamp in his passport. That shows that he was in Brasil. Provide the one picture you have. Pictures are secondary evidence anyway. You met in November of last year, so that is within the designated timeline of the past 2 years. You should be fine. When we applied, we sent in the same kind of things...we were approved with no RFEs. From now to the interview, gather plenty of evidence of you two maintaining your relationship like emails and Skype logs since he won't be able to visit you again. Good luck!

Hello Tassia,

If you maintained connection with him for more than two years, and you can prove it by conversations, for example, you should be fine. Just one picture is concerning, but do not stress yourself unless necessary. And you can go to US, just read the main forum about it, you just may or may not enter the country according with the immigration officer that talks to you, if you have a house, work, car, that is a big step to prove you need to come back to Brazil, which is their biggest concern during your visitation.
