Hi,

 

We have relatively short relationship. I'm the foreign fiancée. We met first in online and in person early june, then later in august we decided we want to be married and live together. The engagement was in the middle of august.

We have pictures together, also with my parents when we announced them our engagement, hotel receipts, pub receipts (all of them has our bank card number and the date of payment), printscreens of messenger calls, printscreens of messenger text messages, receipt of the ring, and we can ask our friends to write us an affidavit about they know us, they met us, and our relationship is bona fide.

 

This relatively short relationship could be a problem? We can mail our petition in november.

Hungarian. And we have no exact date but we are an official couple about 30 of june.

I don't think Hungary is considered high fraud so you have that going for you. The K1 requirement is that you have met at least once, which you have. Have you looked into the sponsorship requirements? You will need to make sure your fiancé has enough of an income or a joint sponsor lined up if not. As others may recommend, the more face time you have the higher of a chance of approval so if you can spend more time together prior to filing it will only work in your favor. Keep in mind that just meeting the minimum requirements is not equal to a guaranteed approval. It will be up to the CO to take into account the entire circumstances of your case when they make their decision. 

 

My 2 cents would be that its pretty quick to decide to get married after being in an official relationship for a little more than 2 months. For your own personal sake you may want to slow down a bit and get to know the other person a little bit better before making a big life changing decision like getting married. Keep in mind with a K1 you won't be able to work for at least 6 months once you arrive in the US which can put quite a bit of strain on a relationship. If you decide to proceed I wish you the best of luck and keep us updated on your progress

Thank you!

He, the US citizen fiancé just left my country, and now we can't meet in person. And we can start the petition in november, when he go back home (he is working in europe now).

I know it's a bit quick, but we decided, we love each other, and its perfectly works between us.

How long has he been working in Europe? Did he file US tax returns? There may be a chance that he will need a joint sponsor. Do you have someone lined up in case he needs one?

We can, but in november when he go home to US. He have no papers with him here, like birth certificate.

BC not required as he can use his passport ID page as proof of citizenship 

YMMV

As long as you have evidence of meeting once in person at least two years before filing the petition for a K-1 you are fine.  Hungary is not high fraud so you should be okay with a short relationship and the evidence you mentioned.  I would suggest you also include passport stamps and boarding passes as additional evidence that you met in person.  Good luck!

have you considered a CR1 visa? Not much longer and added benefits that you can travel and work upon arrival in the US, somewhat cheaper as well
