You just get married and file the paper work to adjust your status and get your green card, essentially skipping the K1 process. You won’t be able to work or leave the country for a long time though so keep that in mind if you have current commitments in the UK.

I didn’t get an RFE but I suppose it helps to hear what someone who didn’t get one did? Lol. We sent in about 15 photos, we actually only had about 2 with our family members and wrote on the back of each one who’s in it, the location and the date (exact dates are important, be confident about what you’re claiming!) and signed it. We included the standard passport stamps and plane tickets etc. We added in conversations about our trips, for example, if we sent a plane ticket of him coming on January 20th, we also sent of screenshot of me talking to his mom saying he’s arrived (showing the same date) or me messaging him saying I’ve just left for the airport on the same day as my ticket and passport stamp. Also we wrote a summary, bullet point each trip, the dates, and a very brief summary of some things we did. It helps to create a whole picture, a photo on it’s own isn’t sufficient but for example, we went to Niagara Falls so we put a photo of us there and the date, credit card transactions from the Hard Rock Niagara for the same date, the social media posts I made about the trip and my I-94 and passport stamps showed I was in the US at that time. We did the same thing for his trips here. Basically anything you can find that ties it all together nicely, if you claim you went somewhere together in the last 2 years, send a photo and coincide evidence like credit card transactions, conversations, social media posts about the day and affidavits of people with you to prove it. Did you take out any travel insurance for those trips? I also sent in those. I thought I didn’t have much despite over 20 trips between us, it took hours of digging to find stuff. 

I’ve seen it a couple of times. 
 
It’s ok I spoke with a CBP officer and he said it won’t cause any difficulties and just means my paperwork will get annotated differently behind the scenes at POE, it won’t change anything on my end. 

you know, there's also this awesome pinned post you may want to take a look
no need for negativity! (nor your judgment)     
 

Coming from my own experience with these lawyers, they will not take on anyone that isn’t suitable. These are three highly respected and successful lawyers in the immigration world and they certainly don’t need to beg anyone for money. They’re currently suing the DOS left and right. 
 
None of us know the details of OP’s case so it’s up to them to decide the route they want to take. I was simply telling them it’s an option as a mandamus was clearly something OP was considering and a mass suit is considerably cheaper. I would suggest they contact the lawyers themselves to discuss the details of their personal case to see if it’s suitable for them. 

Laches never stop socking blood.

Greg Siskind’s firm are currently onboarding until April 26th for a mandamus suit against Moscow. Just search for K1 Moscow mandamus case if interested
 
With the current political tensions between the US and Russia, the situation at the Moscow consulate is just going to get worse. 

Thank You.Good Luck to you and your partner❤️

Honestly, no one can give you a solid yes or no on whether or not plaintiffs will get prioritised. It is too late to participate in the lawsuit. 
 
The department of state has said the whole time that plaintiffs do not get priority over other people. Whether they’ll uphold this position is another story. The benefit plaintiffs have is that their name is in front of a judge and the government attorney. They both get updates from the lawyers very regularly and eventually the judge will get to the point where he wants to see these cases moved, the government attorney also doesn’t want to fight a ton of individual people and will be trying to convince their client (the DOS) to cooperate and just give people their interviews. It’s pretty much an unknown how it’ll play out. Most London plaintiffs have their interviews, there’s only about 15 that don’t. We also don’t even know when or if London will resume K1s any time soon, they should, so hopefully they update soon. 
 
The good news is that you should be relatively close to the front of the line when they do begin processing K1s again. 

Yep! A lot of money but to be honest it’s the best 2K I’ve ever spent 

Just to clarify, you won’t be able to visit the US on an ESTA or tourist visa while waiting for a K1. The exemptions only apply to those travelling to the US on K1s and other immigrant visas

Yes, it does!

And maybe stop rushing into relationships and spend time, lots of time, getting to know the other person. You had a fiancé trying to arrange her interview in January 2019 but you broke up and you petitioned for another fiancé 5 months later (with whom you were already romantically involved whilst the first one was arranging her embassy interview). Before the second one even got to the interview stage you suspected cheating. You must have suspected this wouldn’t end well. 
 
I know a K-1 only requires you to have met in person once before filing, but that doesn’t mean you have to file after the first visit. As you have seen twice now, short courtships are not working out for you, you need more time. Slow down! What’s the rush? And if these fiancés are pressuring you into rushing through the paperwork, it’s likely the papers they want, not you. The right one will wait. 

Yes I am also disappointed with the “illegals” rhetoric. We are all frustrated. We all miss our loved ones. We all know this process is expensive, long and hard but I think we should all take a step back and relish in the fact we have the opportunity to do this legally. There are people that would kill just to be given that opportunity. Undocumented immigrants are not our enemy, it does not need to be us vs them. The issue lies within the system, with funding, resources and management, not undocumented immigrants. 

It’s not a requirement for the I-129f so yes it can get approved without these. Passport pages with US entry stamps can be useful for evidence of meeting in the last 2 years though. If you’re really worried it won’t hurt to include them but it’s not a necessity. They’re not required until the interview stage.
