I-134

[Oosik]

Do I list my fiance (listed in item 3) on item 10? Item 10 asks if I have submitted a visa application for someone.

On item 11, do I just say something like

"I intend to share my home and income as is traditional in marriage" or what?

Thanks

Name, relationship, date submitted - yes, you should be sponsoring your fiance here.

I put that I intend to furnish room and board and intned to furnish support with a number like $200 per month. 

Sorry, I do not have a copy of my K-1 in my office and its been a while since I filled it out.

A word to the wise - read all the instructions carefully.  After you have completed the form you will probably have a couple of questions.  Call the BCINS.  They will answer questions on forms that you intend to submit without any hassle what so ever.

Oosik ~ not that anybody actually reads these:
for 10.  Yes, but there's room to mention the I-129f
for 11.  I said N/A and explained I was applying for a K-1 (the I-134 can be used for other cases)

Hey, last time I replied to one of your threads you were about to depart for Russia, did you already meet and propose to someone?

Racer, I think this will make it easy for you to catch up.

You missed my "In Kiev Now" thread!!

Yes, I met, proposed, she accepted, am doing paperwork. It's going quick enough that some think it's foolish, but that's OK. It's my life.

Oosik, I really don't know what to say....

You're right, it is your life!

FWIW, my wife's Dad fell in love with her Mom after their first meeting and they were married until his death some 30 years later.

I am debating if the situation is a lot like how things were 50 years ago in the US.

Back then, due to WWII losses, there was a man shortage here. Watch the movies, talk to old folks. The normal behavior was for women to be a bit "man hungry" and agreeable. When a woman lets a man know she wants him, and quickly, the man can easily fall in love soon.

This was the era where people often fell in love and married soon, and kept it together for 40 years. The 50's are often idealized in the US, I am starting to think that the attitude of the women (really wanting to get and keep their man) may have been responsible for it.

All I know is I have a young idealistic fiance, who just told me in her last email that she "understands that she was born for my love, and me for hers". UW, AW, or flying purple people eater W, sure sounds like it's worth a shot.

Is this another One Trip Wonder then or what? You need more time mate, this is not a Romantic Novel, it's some poor girl's future you're potentially fuking up.

Not saying it won't work, folks have done it before and it's worked out but you must know the odds are heavily stacked against you.

Ste, nine months living with his RW, still not married, not even engaged yet and no I'm not a pouff. (French Word I think)

Not "one trip wonder"... but "one day wonder"... make the proposal the day after the first meeting

 

[Oosik]

4 hour first date
10 hour second date on NY Eve.

And yes, I proposed on the second date. I knew I would propose before I left Ukraine, so I figured I may as well do it on a romantic night, to maximize the romace novel aspect, and then having the rest of the week to enjoy a certain gift that she was saving for her betrothed didn't hurt either. If she was not "innocent", I would have been more cautious, but as it was, I felt certain that scamming was not on her priority list.

I could do MUCH worse, and hardly any better.

I know life is not a romance novel, but at 21, she doesn't. My job now is to do everything in my power to keep her fantasies alive as long as possible.

And get this paperwork done today, and in the mail to Nebraska Monday.

Living together increases your odds of divorce, at least in the USA.
After living with my ex for 6 years prior to a marriage that blew up in less than 3, I decided no more living together. If you don't want to marry her in 9 months of living together, let her go, you are wasting both or your time. As far a messing up a girl's future goes, wasting 9 months of her time as a shagging partner with no commitment isn't a waste? She could be spending this time with a man who is serious about marriage.

Oosk,
 
 Don't let the naysayer's get you down, just go slow and you will be fine, I proposed to my lady after only 2 days so what, we have been together for almost 6 years and are doing very well together. There is no magic formula for how this is to work, everyone is different, you may succeed and you may fail it is all up to you and how you handle the situation.

 For one time, i agree

but what about the new law who limit the K1 visa... now, American men need to be more sure before start a K1... i am really happy that here in Europa, a tourist visa ( 3 month extend to maximum 6 month ) is possible...

Holland is better, you can life with you russian bride without be obligate to marry her in some delay... ask shadow !!!
