BENEFICIARY: Filipina

PETITION APPROVED: September 8, 2015
K-1 VISA APPROVED: April 26, 2016
Our client, a US Citizen Petitioner, met his Filipina fiancée in the Philippines in 2011. They started their relationship, and he visited the Philippines. In 2014, he proposed to her during his trip in the Philippines. After his proposal, he retained our firm to file a fiancée petition for her.
After retention, we informed our client about the necessary supporting documents to demonstrate the bona fide nature of their relationship. Our client retained our office on June 6, 2015. We helped him and his fiancée draft letters in support of the fiancé petition, and we filed the petition on August 13, 2015.
On September 8, 2015, less than a month after the filing, the I-129F fiancée petition was approved. On April 16, 2016, our client’s fiancée appeared at the U.S. Embassy in Manila, Philippines for her K-1 visa interview. The interview went well, and on April 26, 2016, the U.S. Embassy issued her K-1 visa.
