From what I can see, it seemed that your fiancée did not frontload enough pictures, chats and documents.

When mine sent in her petition, the chats took about 20 to 30 pages. We did not printout all the chats but we made sure all the important chats where we professed our love and discussed our future was mentioned there. Also we made sure the chats we had each month was represented. This is to ensure it is well spread out.

Also we attached lots of photos that we took by ourselves and that we took together with friends and family. They say pictures speaks a 1000 words....that's true. Those USCIS will get loads of information from those album than from the filled form.

We also attached receipts of items I purchased for her and account statements showing some money transfers that happened between us.

At the end, the document my wife submitted during the petition stage was like a big textbook. However my wife made sure to label and file each document properly so that the officer that would be assigned our casefike won't have difficulty reading it.

From what the USCIS guys sent, I think they just need evidence to show you guys are really serious about getting married after getting the approval and visa. I recommend your fiancée type a letter to USCIS responding to each request and attaching supporting documents to serve as evidence. I also suggest she properly labels each document she is attaching so it will be possible for the USCIS guys to reference it whenever they want to.

So based on what they wrote here, they need need more information/evidence for two things. First is Circumstance of Meeting and the second is Intent to Marry.

Circumstance of Meeting
They need more evidence on how you two met. For instance, if you two met via a middleman, then evidence such a picture showing three of you or a chat between you or her and the middleman will help. Also an affidavit from that middleman will be needed.

If you two met via a dating app, then a Screencshot of the first chat between you too will be useful.

If you two met via a social function which you attend in the States or she attended in Nigeria, then evidence such as the flight ticket, boarding pass, visit visa, details of social function (eg invitation card) should be provided.

Also details of the actual physical meeting should be provided. Pictures, boarding pass, chats, affidavits (if there were witnesses of your first meet) can serve as evidence.

Intent to Marry
I'm guessing you guys wrote an Intent to marry letter in the initial application. They however need more evidence. They need answers to questions such as, did you or her visit more than once? How long was the visit? Did you propose? Who were present during the proposal? Do you guys have any future marriage plans such as date, venue, costs, etc? Did you guys send money to each other frequently? Did you guys send gifts to each other? The answers must have verifiable evidence.

Note however that your fiancee don't need to provide all the evidence to these requests in response. She should provide the much she can. They will review her response wholistically. As long as she was thorough in her response and can prove that you guys love each other and are ready to make sacrifices for each other (in the name of love), you guys will be approved.

For those who are yet to send in their petition, I always recommend to frontload as much as you can in the initial submission.

From the content of the request for Evidence.

I'm feeling your fiancee which is the petitioner submitted only the form i-129F with the paycheck and the letter of intent to marry..

Please ask her what she submitted

You may also want to give them your username along with that of your fiancée incase they want to look at the archives (which I very much doubt).

If you stated a dating app that no longer exists, one thing you could do is: scroll back to the very first conversation (or text) you guys shared on the current social media you are using to communicate, take a screenshot shot of that. What I’d think they’re looking for: dates, a message that kinda shows you guys are familiar with each other or have already met somewhere (e.g Hey Amy, it’s John from Tinder). Just that type of stuff.

PS: my suggestion is not based on any research.

Hi Guys. Good morning everyone !!

My girlfriend would love to come to Nigeria next month but I’m so confused about the Nigeria Visa process. Is it visa on arrival or she needs to apply online.

Thanks!

If you have a good immigration office it’s as very easy as Visa On Arrival, But Not all immigration wants to do it for people cos of the way Nigerians Guy has treated some white woman in the past.. Lodging them in the hotel and swindle them of all their belongings leaving them stranded here. ... Mine came then on Visa On Arrival and Very easy and straight forward ... If you’re ready will introduce you to the Immigration officer at the airport here .. will help in the paper works when she arrive and bring her out for you at the Arrival unit himself .. Good Luck to you bro �

If I will suggest why dont your fiance go to the Nigerian embassy and get a visa to Nigeria. Which airline will carry a foreigner without a visa to Nigeria. Even Nigerians with dual citizen are expected to have a valid Nigerian passport or Nigeria visa in their US passport or a paper from the Nigerian embassy before they could board a plane.

Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by lakeside4ng: 7:33am On Jun 23, 2021
I only said what I did when my fiancée was coming doesn’t mean it’s the shortest root... It’s a 2-ways thing. It’s either it’s obtained there or paid for it at the port of entry to Nigeria here. What works for me might not work for you. Vice Versa.. Doesn’t mean it’s a shortcut.

House, I need professional advice on this. My Fiancée Will be 67 next month and retiring soon. Now she is asking if there is any other way we could go about it aside the K-1 Visa After getting an RFE Letter stating what is Required. And her Greatest fear is she is going to loose 60% of her Pension payment if she re-marries. But really got stucked in the middle now and needed to know if there is other way to get me into the states, aside K-1 Ground ? Pls professional advice is urgently needed.

In my opinion, Delay isnt denial. The best advice i will give to you is to get those documents or the ones you can get and reply the RFE. The good thing is USCIS often reply RFE’s in weeks.
Just wait it out. These people are too smart and you can’t play with them

Also i hope you realize you must be married within 90days of arrival? Since there is an ongoing petition, it would be so hard and complex for you to just move to another visa category. They already have you on their records. So please just do the needful.

That is why people need to think this through before taking any step. Good luck
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by lakeside4ng: 12:25pm On Jun 23, 2021
Thanks Bro! I ask her to contact an attorney or Immigration Lawyer ... Although the Agency handling out papers was RapidVisa.. Maybe we can ask them first for what to do cos. I personally wasn’t aware she is going to be loosing such percentage of money from her Drawn Retirements after she re-marries during that 90-Days till this day.

Yes, unfortunately the date has moved into 2022. But it’s still possible to get an earlier date because I was able to move my fiancée schedule from November to October. Thanks to the information from guys on this platform, all you need is to keep checking, maybe once or twice a day. Once you see an earlier date you can select it. Good luck.

Update : we received the RFE
USCIS requested for these evidences

1. Evidence of a bona fide nature of Intent to marry
2. Evidence of wedding preparation
3. Evidence of ongoing relationship
4.correspondance discussing your future or marriage
5. Evidence of family and friends are aware of the relationship.
6. (Evidence of engagement ceremony)
7.(birth certificate of children born to relationship.)
8. Proof of financial support
9. (Evidence of subsequent visit)

(During her visit 2019 she accepted my proposal for marriage, we do not have an engagement ceremony. Its a decision we both made to spend the rest of our lives together)

(The plan was for her to return for a second visit 2020 and we get married my side but after much delebration, cost of wedding, and the condition of her job we decided I come over to the U. That same 2020 Codvid-19 pandemic hit and there were travel restrictions worldwide.)

(We don't have any child born into the relationship.)




We have all the evidence including chats, wedding preparation and future plans except for those in brackets which we will explain to them, infact we will send more than what they requested for. next week my fiance will mail the evidence to uscis . We have 60 days to respond.

For those of you planning to file pls frontload as much evidence as you can to avoid these delays.

So sorry about the RFE. Just do as you’ve said and you will be fine. Delay isnt denial.

If i may ask, didnt you guys include the letter of intent to marry and proof of ongoing relationship while filing? Or you did and they are just asking for a better one?
