US Immigration from Ireland

I thought I'd ask since I seen a variety of answers online ranging from 1 to 40 pages. I'll write a Silmarillion level account of what happened if I have to but I'll be embarrassed if I get there and they only want about 2 pages of basic details.

I am 24/f/Ireland and my fianc is 25/m/Oklahoma. I'm worried about our proof of relationship (I'm generally a very anxious person) and I'd like some outsider perspective.

We've been together for just over 18 months and decided to get married this past August. The reason I'm worried is because yes I acknowledge for most people thats very soon to get married, but one other thing: we don't have a lot of documented evidence that I've been around his friends and family or that he's been around mine. How bad is this going to look for my application? Do you think it's grounds for being rejected?

Niether of us are close to our families. One of the things we bonded over is a shared understanding of what it was like growing up through similar problems. He doesn't hang around with his family pretty much ever and the side of my family that I engage with lives in a different part of Ireland. The short version is that we don't have pictures of me and him together with members of our families (it doesn't help that it's usually my fianc offering to take the picture so he's behind the camera).

We have *some* with his friends because... I took the pictures and I'm holding the camera myself so I'm not actually featured in many of the pictures.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I'm 24/F/Ireland and I'm working alongside my fianc (25/M/Oklahoma) to get a K1 visa for marriage in the states.

The process is like Chinese water torture. It's just constantly dripping new obstacles and errors over and over until I go insane.

Today I was notified that my birth certificate (printed in English when it was issued to my parents from the Irish government the day I was born) is in fact not written in English and I must now have it translated. Why, you may ask? Because *beside* the English, in small faint text, is Irish Gaeilge put there for the Irish people who can't speak English.

The professional translator herself is equally baffled by this.

I feel so hopeless sometimes. It's bad enough we fell into the Boundless Immigration trap, it's worse that I have to juggle these <DELETED> requests on top of making peace with leaving my whole life/family/world behind to get married and have it all be ignored because the only proof that matters is paper, and even worse still that I'm essentially having to guide my fianc through the paperwork because he's not great with paperwork and procrastinates instead of helping me. What the hell does an affidavit from his aunt prove that my words don't? I'm going insane. I feel like I'm never going to get this poxy application submitted and if I do they're going to tell me to off back to Ireland because we forgot to dot an "i".

I was down to 3 months to go, now gone back to 8 months, second time this has occurred.

Hello everyone, I m new to the site and still trying to work my way around it so apologies if this has been asked before!

I m Irish, and my fianc is American. We met while he was studying in Ireland, but he moved back to the US 2 months ago. We re ready to start the K-1 visa process, but since he s recently moved, bought a car, and is furnishing his apartment, he doesn t have the funds for the I-129F filing fee at the moment.

We want to get the ball rolling as soon as possible. So my question is, can I send him money to help him get the process started? Or will doing so cause issues later in our application?

For context, he does meet the minimum income requirement (he s a junior doctor), but he s just getting settled again after moving.

Thanks in advance for your help!
