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.

After your petition is approved, your fiancee must obtain a visa issued at a U.S. Embassy or consulate
abroad. Your fiancee must remain unmarried until the arrival of the fiancee in the U.S. The marriage
must take place within 90 days of your fiancee entering the United States. If the marriage does not take
place within 90 days or your fiancee marries someone other than you (the U.S. citizen filing the petition),
your fiancee will be required to leave the United States. Until the marriage takes place, your fiancee
is considered a nonimmigrant. A nonimmigrant is a foreign national seeking to temporarily enter the United
States for a specific purpose. A fiancee may not obtain an extension of the 90-day original nonimmigrant
admission.
If your fiancee intends to live and work permanently in the United States, your fiancee should apply to
become a permanent resident after your marriage. (If your fiancee does not intend to become a permanent
resident after your marriage, your fiancee/new spouse must leave the country within the 90-day original
nonimmigrant admission.) For information on applying for permanent resident status while your new spouse
is in the U.S., please see Becoming a Permanent Resident (Immigrant) While in the U.S. Your new spouse
will initially receive conditional permanent residence status for two years. Conditional permanent residency
is granted when the marriage creating the relationship is less than two years old at the time of adjustment
to permanent residence status. For more information, please see Removing Conditional Resident Status (from
Marriage).
Expert Tip # 3
Attach to the I-129F abundant documentation offering proof of your relationship and intention to marry. Copies of letters, emails, faxes, telephone logs, receipts from travel, shipping, couriers, photos of you both together, engagement announcements are all useful. More rather then less is the rule here. The USCIS officer will not be offended if more materials are present then he needs. He will disregard whatever he does not feel is relevant. Just be sure that the documents are neatly presented, bound or stapled and organized in a logical fashion.
