If you are submitting Your K1 Fiance Visa without an attorney, then there are few things you need to know.
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.
These trips prove certain things to the USCIS officers. They prove your on-going relationship. The officers tend to not trust long distance relationships that do not show a current face to face meeting within the last two years. To them the relationship is not normal. If you have not seen your fiance within the last two years, then something looks definitely wrong to them. This will be something that would have an immediate negative impact on your submittal and will most likely lead to your application not being approved.
In the past two years you would have had to have some documented contact with your fiance. Once is ok, but if you want to prove your worth to the USCIS officers, then see her at least twice within the last two years. Just once will not show your true intent. Now this is my opinion, but a lot can happen in a long period of not seeing each other. A bond can grow weak. It is best to work on that bond by seeing each other every 6 months or at the least once in a year. But that is something you will have to work out with your fiance.
Some K1 Fiance couples are just not compatible. There were a few I met that had this problem of trying to get to know each other once they were together in the USA. Trust me, it is not an easy thing to do and most marriages like this end up in divorce. For the couples I talked to, it was even hard for them to just sleep in the same bed.
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.
Plane ticket stubs, hotel receipts, currency exchange receipts, and retail shop receipts were items I always brought back with me. Retail receipts were a great source of proof. They would always contain the name of the store, address and date that I bought the items.
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.
