K-1 Visa Requirement Question

[US-COL.guy 2]

Hi all, 

I want to submit form i-129F as soon as possible since things are already on a huge backlog. Just one question about the proof. i have all the needed proof of a legit relationship but the only thing i am concerned about is that i havent given her the ring. next time i see her will be 2 months from now but due to the daily submissions of K-1, i dont want to wait that long. can i submit my application without any pics of the ring / me proposing to her? with the current information that i have its kinda obvious that its a legit thing. 

 

thanks

A ring is not a requirement. We did not have any pictures/receipts of that and I know many others who didn’t either.

 

just to clarify, for the petition stage, they need to see solid proof that you two met in the past 2 years. Proof of relationship comes in at the consulate stage, there’s no harm in including that in the petition so it’s there for the consulate, but the only requirement for the petition is to have physically met within the past 2 years.

@powerpuff thats great news. ive seen her twice this year so far. known her since like 2012. so we should be good to go.

As has been said, a ring is not a requirement. I never had one because I didn't want one, and we've never had a wedding other than a document signing at the DMV in the early days of COVID shutdown -- yet our K1 and AOS both went flawlessly.

 

Don't confuse legal documentation and requirements with convention!
