Bring a copy of everything , my birth certificate got lost in transit but luckily i had a copy with me ..good luck

You should bring everything but the kitchen sink to the embassy for the interview , my point is that for the application you need to prove that you have met in the last 2 years face to face- emails and letters dont prove this so you need to make sure what you are sending proves you have met face to face in the last 2 years and by all means send in whatever else makes you feel confident ...i worried i did not send enough but for some reason copies of two tiks and 3 photos was all i provided for the whole process and i am still scratching my head why they did not accept our other eveidence at the interview when i tried to give it to them .

Aussie , i agree with you and that is what i was told by the attorney that did my petition -that sometimes too much can be a problem and can slow down the process ...but by all means i think everybody should send in what they feel good about sending but my only WARNING is make sure you read emails and letters and such to make sure that there is nothing that may be misleading or misconstrued ...remember INTENT TO MARRY not we will try it out for 90 days and see how it goes or how you will like it in the u.s. ....i would like to think most people know not to send in anything that may be misleading but sometimes being in a hurry or what may seem like a innocent email may be something that causes a red flag .....eitheir way good luck to all ..

I will give an example of what my immigration attorney told me ........We sent in 3 photos and copys of 2 airline tickets -that was it and at our interview they asked for nothing else also even though we did bring a stack of stuff ...it was explained to me like this when i asked about sending emails and phone records .my attorney told me he gets 1-3 cases a month from couples denied because of verbage in emails -Example -(its ok honey if you dont like it here you can always go back we will try it and see how it goes type of stuff or inside jokes between a couple )remember these are nothing but words on paper to the officer looking at them and they can often be misconstrued so just be carefull what you send ........He did say he sends a few easy to read emails and phone records if the relationship has been over 2 years because because this can help validate that the petitioner is just not traveling for work or to see family and will help clarify the timeline ..in my case i had only traveled to colombia twice in the last 6 months when the petition was sent and my fiance had never travled to the u.s. so obviously through the photos we had only met in the last 2 years .

Ok , i am using a attorney and this is what we were told .when entering on a k1 you can not leave untill you marry and than apply for your aos and get your advanced parole .if you leave before completing these things you will not be allowed reentry to the u.s. ...

Hi, i was wondering any other experiences out there similar to mine ...I tried to add my now wife to my blue cross blue shield insurance policy and they said no- till she gets a social security number -which will be about 2 months as we have to wait now till she get her work card .....if anybody had any luck please let me know what insurance company they used ???? thanks .

I have seen many people denied over the last 2 years when trying to come to the u.s. for a wedding , i think it all goes back to the same criteria as getting a tourist visa .The person needs to prove they are not a risk to stay and they need to return for family , home , business or strong financial ties to their home country .good luck .

The best way to prove a ongoing relationship is to be at the interview if possible and just to be able to answer all normal questions about each others jobs and familys .good luck

Kaydee , is dead on make sure you have proof that you have met in person in the last 2 years also make sure you send all papers in the divorce decree and make sure they are very clear and very easy to read- good copys ...good luck .

Peter congrats on your interview , i hope every thing goes great for you and advice or questions let me know i can try and give you some help if needed .

Also one other case was engagement ring question -interviewere asked why fiance had no engagement ring -fiance responded she did it was at home so interviewer asked her if she were to send her home to get it now could she bring it back the woman than was caught in a lie and was denied ... so rememeber honesty is the best policy if you dont have a ring just say you are waiting to get to the states dont lie .

i agree sounds like a response - probaly nothing to worrry about .good luck .

All i provided was 3 photos and copys of the two airline tickets when i traveled .thats it and when i went for the interview with my fiance they did not ask for anything else but we did get a detailed interview about 15 minutes .good luck .

When i was at our interview i saw 1 visa not given because there was no updated intent to marry form and a couple others for lack of evidence ....i did here about 1 getting denied at the interview because they discovered somehow at the lat minute that the woman had been a prostitute in another country ....Also i have been seeing where people are getting a really tuff interview if there is a communication problem such as you cannot communicate well in at least 1 language - i know this is not grounds for denial but it is making for a much more difficult interview .

I did not put dates at all on mine and freaked out when i saw that others did but from what my attorney explained to me is if the only time you have traveled to the country is in the last 2 years and the other party has never been to your country than they will know from a photo of the two of you together that the photo was taken in the last 2 years which falls into the guidline .

A good lawyer will tell you that 95-98% of all cases for a fiance visas do not need a lawyer but i would suggest with a prior deportation and assualt type of arrest you may fall into the 2-5 percent that does . research and find a good lawyer and at least just pay for a consultation to understand the possible hoops you may have to jump through .
