Hey guys,

Just a question regarding this? I am just grabbing all the information required before hand.

Her marriage broke down over 2 years ago. After that we started talking and things went from there. Her separation period has went and we're just waiting to hear back from the courts for it to be finalised etc.

Do you think this would pose as a problem? I hope they're of the position of 'these things happen'. Obviously we're going to wait before it is before sending or dating anything.

I think our case is pretty strong. We have tonnes of photos together, over 5 flights to see each other in the last year (and there's two more in the next few months).

We have all the stamps, boarding passes etc, even the engagement ring receipt.

Do you think we need to mention anything about the engagement being before her divorce was finalised in the I-129F Package? I'm thinking in the "Declaration of how you met in person in the last two year".

Or, are those the things I would expect to be fired at me at the interview stage?

Thanks!

No and no. It's not an issue at all. We got engaged before our divorces were finalised. We sent off the I129F 5 days after my divorce was final and were approved with no RFEs

The I-129F can't be filed until the divorce is final. It is at that point that you should consider yourselves engaged. Sounds like you are on the right track.

Wow, quick response

Yeah, we're just waiting for it to be final. Thanks for the replies!

No - because the US government has no interest in your personal situation.


No - because the US government has no interest in your personal situation.


I seriously doubt it'll ever come up... because the US government has no interest in your personal situation. Since the I-129F can't be filed unless and until both people are free to marry, what happens before that is totally irrelevant.

In a nutshell, it's a non-issue.

I agree, none issue. Engaged is not a legal status, nobody can prove when or whether you got engaged. nor do they care, except maybe her dad!

I was going to say exactly this, until I saw Rich had said it already.

If I recall correctly, you need to provide letters of intent to marry each other as part of ther K1 package, later in the process. That, if anything, is what US gov considers "engaged".

Noorah101

Not later in the process. Those statements go along with the I-129F package.
