Complete K-1 application sample

[johnny206]

Hi All,

 

This web site has been instrumental to getting my K-1 application approved. I'm grateful for all the helps I've received and decided the post my complete (I blurred our personal info of course) and approved K-1 application as my way of paying forward . I'm fortunate enough to have my application approved in 3 1/2 months (that's including mailing back a question I missed) so I believe it can serve as a good reference. Please note everyone's situation is unique and no doubt your application will be different from mine; I take no responsibility on the (dis)approval of your application. I believe the value of my application to you is that you can 1) copy the entire format, 2) See how i did my cover sheet, 3) see how I did my continuation sheets, 4) how I narrated my relationship with photos, 5) how I added evidence of relationship progression.

Some background and tips:

 

1) I'm a naturalized US citizen born in Hong Kong. I was not in the military or ever convicted of a serious crime. I have never been married before applying for K-1.

2) My current wife is a Chinese national, never married before and never been a communist party member.

3) Put your name, SSN, sign and date EVERY cover sheet and continuation sheet.

4) Showing communication pattern: It would be too much to include every text or social media post exchanged. What I did was showing a couple from each week. As long as you show progression and consistency, I think you'll be fine. The visa officer is probably not interested in reading EVERY single word you and your fiance(e) exchanged.

Good luck!

As for #4 even if communication is all Chinese or another language, include it, no need to be translated, USCIS tends to simply look at the dates and not the content of the correspondence. And yes only a couple from each week or so, not everything.

 

I attached a log of emails and chats, with samples from each week.
