Our client, a US Citizen Petitioner, met her Filipino fiancé in the Philippines in 2008 and 2010. Her fiancé also visited our client in the United States in 2010 and 2012. When he visited our client in May 2012, he proposed to our client. Months after his proposal, our client retained retained our firm to file a fiancé petition for him.
After retention, we told our client about the necessary supporting documents to demonstrate the bona fide nature of their relationship. Our client retained our office on September 26, 2012. We helped her and her fiancé draft letters in support of the fiancé petition, and we filed the petition on November 8, 2012.
There were no requests for evidence, and eventually, on June 3, 2013, the I-129F fiancé petition was approved. On July 31, 2013, the beneficiary appeared at the U.S. Embassy in Manila, Philippines for her fiancé visa interview. The interview went well, and her fiancé (K-1) visa was approved on the same day. She will come to the United States and will marry to her fiancé within 90 days of her entry to the United States.
