Three Things You Should Always Do When Dating Your Foreign Fiance.
With everything in life, there are some Dos and Don’ts before proceeding with a K1 Fiance Visa. Although things can seem simple, complications may arise. Looking at it from the 20,000 foot level, you find a girl online, meet her and then get married. Yet I can tell you from experience it is not that simple. Even if you have already found someone and dating, these simple “Dos and Don’ts” will help you succeed.
Here are three critical things you never want to do
1) Do not use website that offer free dating services. Almost all the women on this site are not real. The photographs that these women send you are not real. If you are dating and talking to a woman from a free website, use caution. Give the relationship at least three to six months before moving forward. Send flowers to her home address. Have the agency take a picture of her to ensure you are talking to a real person. Most of the time the girl will disappear when she realizes you are getting too serious.
2) Avoid all conversations concerning money. Never send money to someone you have never met. If is she is asking you for money, she is either not real or not worth your time. If the conversation of money comes up, politely tell her that you are not comfortable with the conversation of money. If she does not understand, then it is time to move on to someone new. She is not worth your time. Ignore the depressing sob story she may tell you. Stop communicating with her and move on to someone new.
3) Keep your personal information private. Identity theft is just as big of a business abroad as it is here. The more information you give out, the easier it is for her to steal your identity. Don’t give it out. You need to be comfortable with her before any conversation of this nature can be discussed. Entertain this type of conversation only after you have met her.
Do these three things when searching or dating your foreign fiance.
1) Ask lots and lots of questions. Ask her about her life. What does she like in life? What are her dislikes. Are you compatible? The only way to know is to ask the hard questions. Don’t be blinded by the beauty of the picture. If you are not compatible beauty will not keep a marriage together.
2) A rule I speak about often in my articles is, “Meet your potential fiance more than once”. Although the K1 Fiance Visa process only mandates meeting once, I don’t recommend it. Do your relationship a favor and meet a minimum of three times.
3) Save all your trip information to show proof that you have met. Save phone logs, emails, receipts and anything else that can show you met your fiance face to face. It will help you once you submit your K1 Fiance Visa Application.
Using these methods are the first steps to finding or dating a woman from a foreign country. It is also the first steps in the process of obtaining a K1 Fiance Visa.
