Our client, a US Citizen Petitioner, met his fiancée in 2009. They started their relationship, and lived together in the U.S. for 5 years. Later, our client’s fiancée went back to India to take a sabbatical year from her work. 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 June 23, 2017.
After retention, we informed our client about the necessary supporting documents to demonstrate the bona fide nature of their relationship. We helped him and his fiancée draft letters in support of the fiancé petition, and we filed the petition on July 13, 2017.
On March 12, 2018, the I-129F fiancé petition was approved. On October 24, 2018, our client’s fiancée appeared at the U.S. Consulate General in Mumbai, India for her K-1 visa interview. The interview went well, and after the interview, the U.S. Embassy issued her K-1 visa.
