PART ONE
Describe in detail how you first met your fiancée, including the who, what, where, why, how and when of the initial meeting and all subsequent visits.
Describe the events in chronological order from your first meeting to the most recent, providing the month and year of each meeting.
I was married for over 20 years, then my wife passed away on November 15, 2015.
I did not think about getting remarried or even dating for about a whole year after my wife passed away.
One year later, I decided I wanted to marry a woman who was not from the United States but was from West Africa.
In November 2016, I spoke to Mahmoud Drammeh on the phone, Fatima's cousin, who introduced me to Fatima.
Mahmoud told me about his Aunt, gave me her phone number, and informed me how wonderful Fatima was and how she might be interested in communicating with me.
I called Fatoumata Drammeh in November 2016, and we hit it off really well.
I got to know her and found out how interesting and communicative Fatima was.
We have been communicating every week since then.
Fatima and I have spoken on the phone and texted every week of every year since November 2016.
Every year, Fatima and I celebrate holidays and family days, including the passing of her father on April 3, 2014.
We have grown very close together for the past nine years.
The date of our first physical meeting was on July 8, 2025, in Banjul, Gambia at the Kombo Beach Hotel.
Meeting Fatima was so special and fantastic and she fulfilled everything I thought she would be.
It was so nice to meet her family and have such a good time and warm family experience.
Our last physical meeting was July 9, 2025.
PART TWO
Talk about your relationship with your fiancée. What do you like or admire about them? Why and how did you fall in love? What are your shared interests and activities? Also talk about your relationship (if any) with their parents, siblings, and friends.
Fatima and I fell in love during our first year of communication in 2016-2017.
I was looking for a wife who was very honest and sincere and had strong family values.
Fatima consistently demonstrated how honest and sincere she was and how having a family was important to her.
I knew how important her own family was to her and how she helped her brother take care of his child. I knew Fatima was also taking care of one of her sister's kids from time to time.
Fatima impressed me how well she took care of the kids.
Fatima also impressed me how she had avoided getting married and having kids until she found the right man.
I asked Fatima if she thought I was the right man for her and she said yes, of course.
Our shared interests and activities are watching movies and TV, cooking and interested in family life.
I can't wait until Fatima and I go grocery shopping here and Fatima makes dinner.
Fatima is always cleaning her house, washing her family's clothes, going to the market and making dinner for the kids. Fatima works hard to take care of her mother and the family children.
I love Fatima so much for many reasons: Fatima is loving, caring, family-oriented and a very good and honest person who proved to me she really loves me and wants to get married and have a family together.
I have spoken with her mother, her brother, her cousins and friends since 2016 and I love them dearly and they are great, family people.
PART THREE
The most successful applications include the language “I intend to marry (your fiancée’s name) within 90 days of their entry into the United States in K-1 status” in this part, which we’ll include in yours automatically. To help keep it in your own words, add any other details about your wedding you can provide to that sentence. For example, if you’ve begun planning your wedding, talk about ideas you have, or where it will occur.
I am going to marry Fatima within 90 days after Fatima arrives here in K-1 status. We will be married in a small service here in Denver, Colorado.
I am going to buy Fatima a wonderful wedding dress that Fatima will select after she arrives here in Denver.
I already went to some wedding shops here in Denver in Cherry Creek and perused some beautiful wedding dresses that I believe Fatima will have a great time selecting from these fantastic wedding dresses.
We plan to have a pastor preside over our wedding service and my brother and my sister will attend.
My brother will travel all the way from Shreveport, Louisiana to attend and my sister will be traveling here from Alamogordo, New Mexico.
Fatima and I plan to spend our honeymoon in New Mexico at a fantastic hotel and resort, where we will celebrate our marriage and our future life together as a couple.
Then we plan to travel to Shreveport, Louisiana where I was born and raised so Fatima can meet more family and friends in Shreveport, Louisiana.
I am really looking forward to cooking Louisiana food for Fatima in Shreveport, Louisiana and my brother is going to throw a party for us, and he will cook BBQ and a real Louisiana dinner outdoors and we will have a wonderful time eating great Louisiana food and having a good time with family and friends.
