Questions about I-129F

[johnsmith 0]

I am applying for K3 visa for my spouse .

1. Do I need to send copies of both our birth cirtificates ? In instructions, it says something about submitting documents in Q 3, 4, 5? DO I just send my birth certificate or I need to send hers also?

2. What to answer for B.17 and B.18? In instructions, it says N/A, but in sample form in website, B17 was answered

Hi,

I recently completed my I129F and I only sent my Naturalzation papers with a copy of my passport ( all pages) no BC for my husband. If you want youcan send a copy ( it does not hurt to send more than requried, if they want the original they will send a RFE or just wait until the interview.

Read this it is the guides for the K3 visa: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?autocom=custom&page=k3guide

Some one will be along to better assist you, but the guides are pretty good.

For your second question I out N/A for both questions.

We sent copies of both of our birth certificates with the petition. On line #B17 I marked No; on line #B18 I marked Yes and on the line below wrote "we met on xx/xx/xx and were married on xx/xx/xx"

Best of luck!

johnsmith,

1. Your are required to send your own birth certificate, or other evidence that you are a USC, but you are not required to send the beneficiary's birth certificate. (Unless the case officer processing your petition decides that they want it for some reason, in which case they'll send you an RFE for it. The CSC has a habit of doing this for K1 cases.) BTW your 2nd sentence is incorrect, read the instructions carefully.

2. Be careful using the example forms, they do no relieve you of the responsibility to think for yourself.

From the I-129F instructions

11. How Do You Use This Form for Your Spouse or Child Seeking Entry With a K-3/K-4 Visa?

This form may be used to obtain a K-3/K-4 visa for your alien spouse and her or his child. Fill out the form as directed, except assume that "fiancé" or "fiancé(e)" means"spouse." answer Questions B.17 and B.18 by stating "N/A." Note that filing this form is only necessary to facilitate the entry of your spouse and her or his child as a nonimmigrant.

1. I agree with Yodrak. Only the USC petitioner needs to send the proof of his US Citizenship which could be a copy of birth certificate (for born US Citizen) or a copy of naturalization certificate or copy of US passport. The instructions don't ask for the beneficiarie's birth certificate.

According to instructions (read item #11), for K-3, it should be "N/A" for B17 and B18. These two apply for K-1. But I think, if K-3 decides to write something on B17 and B18, it would not harm or anything.

2. Example forms are for references only. While it can help you fill your forms out, it should not necessarily be 100% applicable to you. I-129F is for both K-1 and K-3.
