US Immigration from Canada

Hi! My American girlfriend and I (Canadian) are considering US immigration via the K1 fiance visa route. My understanding is the I-129F form requires evidence that we have physically been together within the last 2 years. The problem is, despite meeting each other dozens of times over the last two years, I'm not sure we have any evidence of it. For years, our routine has been that she drives across the border from Buffalo to visit me on her days off from work. We just never really do anything special when she's here in Canada; we just hang out at my home. And besides, we've barely even seen each other in person since March 2020 for obvious reasons.

Most of the usual suggestions for proof that I see on these forums are not something I have:

• There are no visa stamps, since Canadians and Americans do not require them to cross the border.
• I did fly to Buffalo to visit her last year, but I did not keep the boarding pass.
• We have never paid for anything simultaneously (one of us covers the whole bill whenever we buy something, for simplicity.)
• We have pictures together, but nothing that proves any dates (how often do you take pictures standing next to today's newspaper?)
• We have 84,000 messages exchanged on Discord (instant messaging platform), but that doesn't prove we've been together physically, or even that her Discord account is actually her.

Now that the border is open again, we're fine with purposely seeking out some sort of activity that could constitute proof of physically meeting. But doing so feels sort of fake and staged and I don't want to give that impression to US officials looking at my application. At the same time, I do need proof somehow. What can I do?

Thanks for the help!

Hello everyone,

I am writing for some guidance. I filed my K1 application in July 20, 2020 and was approved as of April 27, 2021. Since then it s been at the NVC - I have a case number and ID, only because I called them. I was wondering if I should go ahead and file those forms (e.g. DS260 etc.) online or do I wait for contact from the embassy in Montreal?

I also filed an expedite request as my fianc came back recently from a deployment, and is active duty.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello, This is my first time writing in the forum.

I would like to ask for a little advice, My fiance and I are applying for a K1 visa, we are in the NVC part of the process, we received our NOA2 last march but we haven't received any kind of information yet.

We are tired of the wait and we want to cancel our K1 and get marry outside US and start a new process with a CR1 visa. The question is at this point is it worth it to cancel a K1 visa and start a new process? or is it better just wait?

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi there,

Since the COVID stuff they emailed my medical results to the consulate directly, but gave me an unsealed envelope with my vaccination record and xray CD, is that okay?

Also should I bring the envelope with me to the consulate for the interview?

Thank you.

My birth certificate is from India. Its both in English and native language (Gujarati), moreover its even laminated. Did anyone submit similar BC from India for purpose of K1 visa and can you confirm how did it go for them. I have my interview at Montreal next month and want to make sure it will be accepted. From what I read for U.S. Visa: Reciprocity and Civil Documents by Country > India, it seems to be the right document issued by Municipality of the state but would like to get some thoughts/experience from members here.

Thank you!
