Core packet items

Everything USCIS expects inside every K-1 fiancé(e) visa packet before they issue your first receipt notice (NOA1).

Include when applicable

Only add these documents if they apply to your relationship history or immigration background.

Tip: Tuck any optional documents after the primary forms and use a cover page to label each bundle.

Keep your fiancé(e) visa packet organized from day one

Use these quick references while you stage documents, schedule signatures, and prepare the final packet for delivery to USCIS.

Mailing & delivery tips

Use a trackable service (USPS Priority, UPS, FedEx) and keep the tracking receipt until USCIS issues a formal notice. Avoid paper clips that can damage documents.

Organizing evidence

Group relationship artifacts chronologically (photos, travel receipts, chat logs) with short captions. Include only clear, relevant proof to keep the packet tidy.

After you mail

Watch for a Form I-797C receipt (NOA1) by mail or email. Once you get the case number, create an account at my.uscis.gov to monitor updates.
