Just beginning K1 process

[kusjes1229 0]

Hello,

My name is Maggie and my fiance, Christophe and I are just beginning the visa process. I have a few questions:

-is the K1 visa as straightforward as it seems? We were going to get a lawyer to file the form but then we thought maybe we should do it ourselves. Is it really just a matter of us sending in a copy of our passports, birth certs and pics intially? It seems to 'easy' and we just really want to get this filed and not be held up going back and forth. Anybody have any advice?

Also on the application there is the question, Has your fiancé(e) met and seen you within the two-year period immediately receding the filing of this petition?

What does that mean? Does it mean that we have seen each other in 2 years?

Thanks soo much for any helf that you can provide me with. I greatly appreciate and wish you all luck and quick processing times!!!!

oh, and i forgot to add that we both lived in Scotland for the past 2.5 years. I have a dual citizenship so I don't know if I should submit my payslips to show the authorities that I lived there and don't have plane ticket receipts etc...!

Argh!

For the most part the answer is YES

Also on the application there is the question, Has your fiancé(e) met and seen you within the two-year period immediately receding the filing of this petition?

It means exactly what it says, at some point in time within the previous two years you must have been physically in each others presence.... It could be one time for one day or the entire time, but you must have been in each other's presence.

While the process should be straight forward as long as you don't have any complexities to the case (denial in entering the USA, misrepresentation as USA citizen, etc.). My wife and I did the CR-1 route and hit a few snags, but most have it go pretty much straight through.

As the other person said, you just had to be physically with your significant other within the last 2 years.

We also hired a lawyer just to make sure if there were any snags that we'd be covered, and overall whenever something bad happened, our lawyer got us through it, so I'd highly recommend getting one, even for the simple fact that they can double check all the information you fill out and turn in. Good luck!
