Meeting Your Foreign Fiance the Necessary Dos and Don’ts

by Art Saborio

A few things you need to know if you are submitting your K1 Fiance Visa without the aid of an attorney.

Here is an important requirement for the applicant, before submitting the K1 Fiance Visa Application. You must have met your fiance within two years of submitting your K1 Visa Application. Say you met your fiance three years ago and decided to send in the application. You will be denied and will have to start over again. The best thing to do would be to take another trip out to see her. Then come back to the USA with updated travel docs and submit your application.

There are a number of things that these trips prove to the USCIS officers reviewing your application. For one it ensures your relationship is current. They tend to not trust a long distance relationship that does not show face to face contact within two years. As they see it, most normal relationships have personal contact. If you have not seen your fiance in two years, then something is not right. This will definitely keep your application from being approved.

See your fiance twice within this two year period. Once is good, but it really does not show a trend. Usually meeting only once does not show that your intentions are true. This is just my personal opinion but a lot can happen over three years of not seeing each other. That bond that you had with her, may not be there once you are ready to file. Best to keep that bond strong with meetings every 6 months and at the least once a year. But ultimately that decision is up to you or both of you.

There are K1 Fiance couples that I have been in contact with that were really not compatible. They found this out after they were finally together in the USA. They were so uncomfortable with each other that even sleeping in the same bed was not an option.

Meeting my fiance every 4 - 6 months was very important to me. I would usually plan some very nice trip that would last three weeks. The first meeting was a little strange. The second trip was better. The third trip together was when I knew that deep down she was the right person for me. These trips are hard on the person that has to travel all those hours by plane, yet it pays off a hundred times over when she is here in the USA with you. You will appreciate all the efforts you took to keep that bond strong.

Take a trip to see your fiance regularly. Spend time with her. Here are a few things you must consider when on your trips. Keep all plane ticket stubs, hotel receipts and currency exchange receipts.

Here is a list of the exact things I saved from my trips. I kept plane ticket stubs, hotel receipts, currency exchange receipts, and retail shop receipts. I often bought her things, so keeping the retail receipts were something that showed exactly my whereabouts. Receipts from retails stores always carry the name of the store, address and the date of purchase.

Taking a lot of pictures is something I did on all my travels with my fiance. I would also make it a point to take pictures of us together. These pictures would always have the date and time stamp on them. I would have two pictures of us from every trip I took with her. I attached all these pictures to my K1 Visa Application.
