Many have.  Self filing K1 people is probably the largest group here on VJ, or perhaps second largest behind IR1/CR1.

I did; in this order:

Follow the guides on this form, as mentioned above

follow the USCIS instructions. 

double and triple check everything

Make 2 copies of everything

Then come to the forum to ask questions if you are stuck on anything

 

Then you wait!

I did it with my fiance and it was a loooooooot of work, but not really hard, to be honest. 

 

The most important things are to pay A LOT of attention to every detail, be organized and say the truth ALL THE TIME, or you can get caught in contradictions. 

 

When you get the form, make sure to do it from the uscis website, so it's updated (https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f). Right under the link to download the form, you can find the instructions for that specific form. There are also special instructions towards the end of the page. Follow them all carefuly and triple check everything in each step you take while you're filling it. You should also check and follow the instructions on this link: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail

They helped us a lot to not make any mistakes and to assemble the packet in a way that would make it easier for the officer to go through it and maybe make it move a little faster.

 

After filling the form itself, we gathered the required evidence (proof of his citizenship, a passport style pic of each of us, proof of meeting in person within two years and our statements of intent to marry), including different types of proof of relationship (pics of us, pics of him with my family, pics of our engagement preparation and day of, boarding passes of all his visits, airbnb's, credit card statements, gift receipts and screenshots of some of our conversations showing our id's and also conversations with othe people mentioning each other) to attach. We organized them with page markers with a name for each type of content and a description sheet for some of them. We also wrote a short description under each picture (we used two or three for each day we've been together) and added post-its on some of the evidences with short explanations or references to other evidences attached.

 

In the end, we checked eeeeeeverything again and asked a third person (his aunt) to read for us too, to make sure it was making sense for who is not part of the couple and we didn't forget anything. Then we sent it and waited forever......... We were nervous that maybe we did something wrong, but we got our aproval a month ago 😊

 

I hope it was helpful and wish you a good luck!

During my marriage we separated at some point, I made a mistake and had an affair that ended with a child outside marriage. The child was born 4 months after I got my citizenship. Two years in a half later we divorced. I am not in the birth certificate and But I have rested now many years later Now I am trying for a new opportunity in life. I was wondering if that is ground for Denaturalization.

Okay,  Perfect I was concern about it, Becuase I heard Trump was going crazy at that time. I made a mistake because sometimes Things get rough in marriages. I am glad everybody sorounding me is good and I have not caused Harm to anyone amid my mistakes.
