Proof of Western Union For K1

 It recommended to provide receipts, at the time of the interview, showing that you have sent money to your fiancé?  Will it strengthen the evidence of support or is it too much information and not necessary for interview?

If there are multiple receipts spanning time, it will help. I sent all ours.

 Did you send it with your petition package when you initially sent it or did you send it with your fiancé for his interview?

Both. I sent the original petition with everything I had so far, then brought a copy of that plus any new evidence to the k1 interview. They only flipped through a few pictures in the interview itself.

 

If your fiance is from the DR, you really need to attend the k1 interview with her. It's a lot harder without it. I can only remember one petition in the time I've been on VJ that was approved without the USC attending, and the beneficiary had a letter from the petitioner's work saying that he cohld not take the time off without being fired.

 I’m the petitioner and a female and fiance is in Jordan. I plan to be there for the interview I don’t know if they’ll invite me back with him. Im hoping though.

Sending someone money is not an evidence that you're in the relationship...

My question was intended for providing evidence to help substantiate financial support. Not to prove relationship.

You dont need to financially support your fiance/show financial support documents.

Sending money to a fiance abroad could be seen as a red flag, a sign of potential fraud, so I would be very careful about sending that as evidence.  The problem is, even if your situation is legit, that some scammers and fraudsters use US citizens for money as part of their scheme, so the bad behavior of others causes scrutiny for those in real relationships.  Think about it from the IO's point of view.  They are looking for signs of the beneficiaries who are only in the relationship for the green card, taking advantage of US citizens.  You're not married, sending money is not necessary and could be viewed negatively.  All you need is proof of meeting in the last two years, time spent together, for the K-1.

I agree mostly with him especially if you send large amounts at once. If smaller amounts that look to be supporting her like for expenses or emergency then it shouldn't look that way but you never know.

 

But also like they say only give and show what you need and say exact answers to their questions. Dont talk about what is not asked because if they dont ask they must not be concerned with it.

 

At the very least you have to send them money for the DS-160 and medical exam plus travel expenses and any other documents around the time of their interview. My fiance could have never afforded those fees. So showing money transfers around the time of their interview that are in range of those expenses should definitely not look suspicious.

I think she is supporting him?

A woman sending money to a man never looks good. No matter what your intentions are. Leave it out. If you were married and had lived together and you were sending money to help support children your home maybe.

 

But you are also dealing with one of the MENA (Middle Eastern North Africa)embassies

 

Think like a CO and ask

1.how did he support himself before you came along

2. Do women from his country support men financially

 

Just leave it out this is a Big Red Flag.

Please note that sending money to a fiancé is NOT The same as sending money to a spouse. USCIS considers a fiancé to be someone that you shouldn’t be -that- involved with, you simply have this other person promising that they’ll want to come into the US to marry you and not take off. Money involved in that simply agreement complicates things.

 

if your case has any other red flags, the money orders can be used against you and it can be turned that you are buying off a person to come live with you.

 

this is NOT good evidence pre-marriage.

 

The whole financial support for k-1 aspect is simply you make enough to take care of the intending immigrant once they’re in the states, but there’s never a request to prove you’ve given money to them .

I absolutely agree with @dwheels76 Jordan is a MENA country.....it is not usual for a woman to be supporting (or sending money to a man if the couple is not married). 

It will open him up to so many questions during the interview.....such as....is he employed? How many women are sending him money? Who are his friends on Social Media? Do they send him money too? Plus it opens up questions to your compatibility.....she has money to send....does he reciprocate....etc....

In addition....if there’s an age difference it will look even worse....

Exactly.

 

It's not primary evidence, but it helps establish a relationship over time imho.
