Hello! Me and my fiance are planning to apply for a k1 visa within this year and we are curious about the proof of a legitimate relationship and the fees needed for the application. We have these questions:

 

1) Do we need to pay the full amount of about 2,000$ or more immediately after filing? Or we just pay it depending on the step of the process? Can anyone tell us a timeline when and how to pay?

 

2) Who will be doing and compiling the proof of ongoing/legitimate relationship? Is it my american fiance or will it be me to do it and present it to the embassy once for interview? 

 

3) we have pictures whenever my fiance visits me in the philippines. But he has a handful of pictures where he wears sunglasses outdoors. Can we use them as eligible photos to present as proof?

1) Usc will file the petition with $535 then wait for average of 7months for approval, you can continue from there for medical payment, visa fee payment etc. 

 

Read guides here

 

2) everything will be submitted by the usc, you can help him though in preparations of the documents and compilation and send to him by email or mail whichever works for you 

 

3) of course you can use it,  try to use only a few and of course submit photos without the sunglasses. 

 

 

Goodluck

Thank you so much! And one more thing though, when doing a letter of intent to marry, can i just scan a letter that I did with my signature in it? Or do I need to send him an original one with a wet signature?
