But Yodrak & others said earlier it goes with the i-129f not the G325a...?

What it says:
1. Payment as documented here. Use a personal check so you can track the payment.
2. Cover Letter (see example). Should include a description of what your are petitioning for (I-129F), a table of contents (list everything in the packet). If you need additional room to explain your case, attach a separate sheet (list the attachment on the cover sheet). Make sure to sign and date the cover sheet.
3. Form I-129F: Petition for Alien Fiance(e) (see example)
4. Declaration of how you met in person in the last two years. This should be a single typed page regarding question 18 of the I-129F. Make sure to sign and date it.
5. Letters (from both the US Citizen and foreign fiance) certifying an intent to marry within 90 days of entering the US on a valid K-1. (see example)
6. Proof of having met in past two years. (click here for examples)
7. G-325A (all four pages) filled out by the US Citizen signed and dated (see example)
8. One passport-type photo (see note) of the US Citizen. Write the full name of the US citizen on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert US Citizen's Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a.

1 passport picture for petitioner and one for beneficiary.. with the g325a forms not I-129f

but everyone has been saying it's the 129f NOT the 325A, but I can't be botehred to find the links! Yodrak said so though, he usually knows...

hmmm guess your right

Not me, Yodrak, the wise one! Let's hope the guides get fixed!

i attached mine to the g-325 forms and I was approved so don't think it really matters.

I didn't attach mine.. just put them in a plastic bag with the rest of the pics I sent and off they went...

you snuck through! You shoulda had an RFE for that!

I just put mine in a bag attached a sheet & labelled not stapled to anything.

no no .. I didn't staple .. when I say attach I mean that I put it behind the g-325a forms hehe

Does order matter? Someone can please let me know so I can update the guides if so.

It only matters in that members get confused as to what things are submitted with and brings up the question 'do I have to have a passport photo with each of the pages that make up the G-325A'. The way the Guide is worded gives the impression it is submitted with the G-325A. It should if anything be listed seperately.

Captain Ewok,

No, I don't think order matters, except to the extent that one wants things to be easily found by the people who sort the petition packages into a file. Attaching the the passport photos to a full-size sheet of paper is one way to accomplish this, another is to put the passport photos on top of the submission with the check where they will not be hidden by the full-size documents of the submission.

I agree with Aussiewench on the point about confusion. There are any number of small items that I frequently point out, this being one of them, that may not be individually significant but what is important is having a correct overall understanding of things and how they relate. Many people stumble through the immigration process shuffling the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle around and never fitting enough of them together to see a comprehensive picture. Fine, for them, if their case doesn't have an issue in an uncompleted area of the puzzle. But in general it's usually best to understand as nearly correctly as possible what one is doing and why rather than make it through without really knowing, especially if one is going to then advise others.

Since the question does come up often, I think it would be beneficial to change the wording to say:

8. One passport-type photo (see note) of the US Citizen. Write the full name of the US citizen on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert US Citizen's Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the I-129f petition.

I attached them to the G-325a individually seemed the most logical to me oh well

Humbly,
Ramos

In addition to this, should a change be considered to the example cover page? It lists the photos being attached to the G-325A as well, again, I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes, but while the subject is hot...
