PETITION APPROVED: January 2, 2018

Our client, a US Citizen Petitioner, has known his fiancée since 2016. They started their relationship, and he visited the Philippines in September 2016. In February 2017, our client went back to the Philippines to see his fiancée. They got engaged and our client decided to file a fiancé petition for his fiancée. He retained our firm to file a fiancé petition for her on May 17, 2017.
After retention, we informed our client about the necessary supporting documents to demonstrate the bona fide nature of their relationship. We helped her and her fiancé draft letters in support of the fiancé petition, and we filed the petition on June 5, 2017.
On January 2, 2018, the I-129F fiancée petition was approved. On April 6, 2018, our client’s fiancé appeared at the U.S. Embassy in Manila, Philippines for her K-1 visa interview. The interview went well, and the U.S. Embassy issued her K-1 visa. With the issued K-1 visa, our client’s fiancée came to the United States and married our client in May 2018. She already filed her adjustment of status application to the USCIS.
