K-1 or Fiancee Visas
USCIS bona fide genuine fiancee relationship Proof for USCIS
The most common reason Fiancee or Spousal Visa petitions are rejected is that Immigration is not convinced the couple have a genuine "bona fide" relationship.
There are many ways to prove the relationship, photos, phone bills, emails, log files, on and on. Some couples though don't really think about saving this "paper trail" until they are just about ready to file their I-129F or I-130 petitions. By then it is too late. And they may end up rejected due to lack of planning.
I put together a Youtube video that teaches how to prove you have a genuine relationship. It speaks directly to couples who are applying for Fiancee or Spousal visas. And tells them what documents and proof to attach to their K visa petitions.
I think that a new couple who has just found each other, should ALSO view this youtube lesson, so that from the start of their relationship they will know what is needed later on, and so can save from the beginning, what they should have later.
For example: Proof that the couple has regularly communicated with each other is essential. What about the couple that uses Instant messenger every day, but never turned on "logging"? What proof do they have? NONE. !
If they turned on LOGGING, they could print out a page, or pages that show each and every time they communicated, when they logged in, when they logged out. It is not necessary to show the words of each conversation, but is extremely valuable to show the frequency and dates of the conversations.
The same applies for telephone bills or logs. It used to be that everyone got a regular phone bill each month, that showed the numbers called and the duration of each call. Now there are ways to save money by buying pre-paid phone cards or joining discount calling services. Some keep track of your calls, and you could print out statements to prove your calls. But many clients use prepaid phone cards, which don't provide you any record at all! The time to choose a service that provides you a record of you calls, is at the Start of your relationship.
If you are starting a relationship, or still looking, take a minute to watch this youtube video on "How to prove a genuine relationship for the Fiancee or Spousal visa". You will be much better prepared in case you find you life partner and hope to live together in the USA.
Of course if you have already found your partner and are applying for a K-1 or K-3 visa, use the suggestions shown on the youtube video to make your petition more believable and thus help to ensure a happy ending to your visa application.

If approved (six months is about normal, though this varies based on processing time, and to a degree the
relevant embassy), the Application materials will all be forwarded to the National Passport Center for processing.
Then the whole paper file wrapper is sent to the US embassy or consulate in the jurisdiction in which the
fiancee resides abroad [1]. The Embassy will contact the fiancee and schedule an interview date. In the
meantime, the fiancee has to have a medical examination at an approved clinic, to screen for certain
infectious diseases like HIV, Tuberculosis and Syphilis. The Embassy staff will question the fiancee and
ask for additional documents, to determine the authenticity of the relationship (amongst other things, that
it is not an attempt to skirt 'the proper channels' of US immigration law), though the preliminary
questioning in this regard is fairly straightforward and brief. If the interview goes well, the visa is
granted immediately, but the fiancee's passport may need to be kept for a few days for processing. The
fiancee then has six months to enter the US, and 90 days after that to marry the Petitioner. The fiancee
cannot marry any other person, and must return if not married to the Petitioner. If the fiancee has
children, and they were properly identified in the original petition, then they will be issued K-2 visas.
Such K-2 visas depend on the parent's K-1 visa.

Attach to the I-129F a typed letter describing in full detail the nature of your relationship with your Fiancee. Describe where and when you met, the situation, what happened, how the relationship developed, what are your plans when she arrives for the 90 days, what are your wedding arrangements, what are your long term plans for your future life together. A sample “Nature of Relationship” letter is shown at Fiancee Visa Secrets eBook. The more detail you provide the better. Couples planning a life together have long conversations and make detailed plans. Share these plans in your letter. This serves to confirm the sincerity of the relationship.
