Also, you must be able to prove that the two of you are ready willing and legally able to marry, and that you have met face to face at some point within the last two years. The "proof" of the meeting can consist of photos together, passport stamps, hotel vouchers, phone records between Petitioner and Fiancé(e).
If the petitioner can prove a severe hardship, such as a severe medical condition preventing travel, it is possible to have the personal meeting condition waived.
The petitioner must also meet certain income requirements, normally 125 % of the current poverty level. The Fiancé(e) must also meet certain standards such as no previous immigration law violations and lack of a criminal record.
Once the petitioner has decided what package to choose (Basic, Premium or Fiancee Only), we will file the required forms with the appropriate district office of the USCIS. The forms consist of the I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), and two G-325 biographic data applications, one for the petitioner and one for the Fiancé(e) and the affidavit of support (Form I-134/ I-864). The petitioner will also have to submit certain supporting documents, such as: proof of divorce, photographs, correspondence, official statement of intent to marry, etc.
The Affidavit of support will state that the petitioner will provide financial support of his Fiancé(e) if she is allowed to enter to the United States. The affidavit of support itself requires supporting documentation such as a letter from your employer, bank statements, and tax returns for the last three years in order to show that the petitioner meets the financial requirements set by USCIS.
The Fiancé(e) visa allows for children of the Fiancé(e) to come along with the Fiancé(e) to the United States using a K-2 visa. The children must be unmarried and under the age of 18. The child or children can accompany the Fiancé(e) or follow within one year of the initial approval. In order for the child to gain residency along with the mother the marriage must occur before the child’s 18th birthday.
