A formal engagement is not requirement. No ring is needed, nor does it help/hurt a case.. An engagement is is just a promise to marry. The signed letters of intent to marry within 90 days of entry will suffice just fine.

 

With regard to an engagement party...

Mind sharing what country the beneficiary is immigrating from? I'm certainly not an expert in the details of this, but there are some very limited circumstances where it's unusual in the culture not to have an engagement party, so it may raise an extra question as to why you didn't (in which case you just explain it). Anywhere else, an engagement party is more risky as the CO may mistake it for a form of a wedding.

@geowrian I’m from the Philippines. I dont know I’m just worried about it

Hi guys! 

I have another question about the K-1 visa.

Me and my fiance didn’t have any formal engagement party, he didnt even propose. It’s more like, we just talked and thought about it and decided to get married since thats the purpose of having a relationship in the first place right? To find your other half. Now my main concern is are they going to question us since we didnt have any engagement party, I dont have any engagement ring? If so, during the interview, if ever they ask that kind of question, what will be the best rebuttal for this?

thank you in advance

Hi guys! What is the minimum requirement for an annual income for applying a k-1 visa? 

It’ll surely cost a lot. My father’s name was spelled incorretly but we didnt have any hearings. Yet. As per them it might take 3-6 mos to have it fixed. They went to Nso and they were not advised that we will be needing a lawyer. 

The date of marriage is required. Besides, the date is indicated on his divorced paper.

Your passport should be valid for as long as possible.  You should ideally have it renewed just before interview so it has the maximum allowable time (normally 10 years).

 

K1, you are expected to enter, marry within 90 days and then adjust your status.

 

At the moment AOS is taking anywhere up to 6 months (and longer for some people if there are problems). Assuming you marry a month after entering, then take a month to gather all documents (it takes a while for the 'official' marriage certificate to arrive, not the pretty one you get on the day) that's at least 8 months.  

 

You won't be able to travel at all during that time, and most American-based Embassies for other countries are able to issue emergency travel passports, they don't do normal renewals though (as far as I'm aware) so it makes FAR more sense to have a passport with proper validity than not.

 

 

Thank you for this info! I appreciate it

@Margeee. No i did not indicate the name of the site, because if is not a website that USCIS recognizes as legit non IMBRA qualifying site like Match.com or Facebook....you are going  to have to explain with proof in their rules and user term agreement that is does not qualify as IMBRA.

I used an unknown app that didn't charge me to meet my fiancee and tbh don't even remember what it's name was by now. It was a social media app. most couples here i assume turned on the internet to meet online anyways 

@Alabamak1 thanks for the info. Really appreciate it

i met my fiance online through an app.  the app was a singles dating website. it doesn't qualify under IMBRA and we didn't get an RFE.

Did you indicate the name of the app/website when you sent the form?

For K1 you must submit proofs that both side meet in person.

Yes we did attach it

Hi guys!

who among you here met your fiance through an online application that you can download for free? I have a question though. When you filled out the I-129F form, did you just indicate that you met online and just attached a declaration about how you met in person? Have you guys received an RFE regarding this? 

And one more thing, should my passport be valid for six mos at least during the interview? 

Hi guys! I would like to know how to cancel a k-1 visa. Uscis already received the packet but we havent received the noa2 yet. Do we have to notify them? How?

Hi guys! 

I would like to clarify the processing time for k-1 visa, ours was sent to california service center. I’m wondering as to why it shows here in visajourney that they are currently processing I-129F forms that were received dated on aug 07, 2017 as of today however in uscic it shows otherwise. 

Can somone please confirm this please. Thanks!

Good old fashioned USPS

I see. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi guys! We just mailed the I-129F packet recently. How are we going to be notified that they received it? For the noa1, will it be sent by mail as well? Please let me know. Thanks

Hi guys!!

Please help me out. We are currently in the process of gathering our requirements for I-129 F packet, I am the beneficiary and I was advised that my birth certificate is included, my main question is, I found out recently that my father’s name was spelled incorrectly and it’ll take 3-5 months to have it corrected. So I was thinking of still submitting it knowing what was wrong with my birth cert. will it affect my application?

Hi guys!

anybody here who was asked to provide an RFE because of their address for the last 5 years? 

I just cant remember the duration of my stay for all the addresses where I lived before. I moved for like 6 times. Cant really remember it. 

Hi guys!

my boyfriend is an american citizen, he was first married in the Philippines but sadly his first relationship with his ex spouse did not work so they got divorced in the States. Now my boyfriend wants to marry me in the states, he wants to file the K-1 visa. Does he need to file an annulment first or can we still file for a K-1 visa even though he’s just divorced and not annuled? Thanks!

Thank you so much for this 😊

We’re currently filling out the i-129F form, however it’s asking for my addresses for the past 5 years and I cant really remember all of them since I’m just renting and I kept on moving from one place to another. Will it be okay if I just inficate my permanent address And present address??
