That really applies to official documents, such as birth certificates and divorce decrees.

Some have gotten away with using a copy of the letter of intent, and some have received an RFE for an original signature on them. It could go either way for you.

So for Divorce Decrees, is it possible to send in a cpoy, then Mail him the original to take to interview?

I think it actually is longer, with the K!, he will be here in about 6 months, but the the CR1, I need to go back to Turkey and get marreid, then stay there a few months, and then come back and file, then almost 1 yeear until he is here.  We were fine not being married and going back and forth to the US, but now with uprest in Turkey, we are more comfortable being here in the US

Hi.  I am getting all my documents ready to finally file!  We have been together since May 2012, engaged September 2013, (child in May 2013)  So I have A LOT of, pictures, messages, calls, plane tickets .... Would you suggest only submitting more recent things (ie, last 2 years)  I am afraid since we have been together such a long time, we will have so much front loading.  Anyone else in this postion?  Thanks in advance

SOrry for taking so long to respond, there is a lot of research to do

I actually have decided to do continue with the K1. Our reasoning is (which is true) is that we were content in Turkey - I love it more than the US, but right now it is so uncertain that I feel we could be much better off here.

Also, in my research i realized that I am so unprepared to get married in Turkey. In the US, you just go to the court house and get your licence. You do have to wait 2 days, but that is it. So I feel like we have a good enough case to apply for the K1

Any opinions?

Thanks

Hello!

So I am having a very difficult time deciding on which visa to apply for.

Currently, we are not married.

We have been together since May 2012. In September I moved to be with him in Turkey. I got residence in Turkey for one year, with him being my supporter. I had our first daughter in May 2013 (!!) She was also added to my residence book. Since then I have been basically living half the time in Turkey and half the time in the US, for the past 3 years. I know the K1 seems faster, but then still there is a wait for the Green card, and with the CR-1, after it is approved, he can basically get his work permit and green card almost straight away it seems.

The problem I am having is that right now, I am in the US visiting and going back in a few weeks. So I don't know if we should get married while I am there, and start all the paperwork and I can file when I get back, or just keep it for Fiance

It seems like the biggest difference is cost $900 or $1600.

I am thinking the K1 will be the best for us, but wanted to get some feedback from anyone who has done this recently (and if from Turkey a plus)

Thanks!!
