a little confused

[heavyeyes 0]

i've been getting my k-1 packet ready and filling out all the necessary forms. i'm confused on a couple of things. anybody have any ideas?

I-129 F Petition

Under Part B. Information about your alien fiance (non American), question 11 asks "Has your fiance ever been in the U.S? Now is that a question for me the u.s. citizen or is it a question for my fiance to answer?? i'm not clear on that one. my fiance has never been in the u.s. on any kind of visa, so do i check NO and forget the rest of the question? or does my fiance answer YES (i mean i live here so the question seems silly to me). and question 12 then confuses me as well....is it asking me if i've arrived at his country??? is any of this making sense because it isn't to me even though i'm writing it!?!

G-325A, Biographic Information

For the section where it asks for a person's mother and father information, i have a question about the country of birth. when my parents were born the name of their country is different than it is now. because the country split up. which country name do i use, 1) what it was at the time of their birth or 2) what the name is today, present time?

I-134 Affadavit of Support

Does this form (original or copy) need to be included in the I-129 Packet? or do we save the original for when we send the packet to our fiance in their country?

hmmmmmmm.....what else??? um i have tons of proof that provides information of an ongoing relationship and how we met in the last two years. is too much information really too much information.....or is it better to keep it simple? just wondering. i dont want that to hurt me in any way.

thanks a bunch!! look forward to the answers!

From what I understood of question 11 was if your fiancee had ever been in the US. (you to answer for your fiancee that is outside of the US) She had been on a visitor visa, so that was what I answered. Question 12 is just asking if your fiancee is currently in the US. It then gives you choices of how they got into the US and the date that the entered. Again to be answered by you for your fiancee.

For the G-325 question I would use the name of the country of birth now. Maybe in parenthesis put the former name ?

I understood that the I-134 affidavit of support was to be presented later, not with the original presentation. This would be after the approval, when presenting documentation for the interview.

As far as proof of a continuing relationship I remitted airline tickets that we had seen each other, pictures of us together (5) and about 15 some odd emails of us communicating. With the copy of the passports showing the entrance stamp to each others country I though this would be enough.

I've not heard anything from them till now except for the NOA1 so I hope that everything is OK.

Good Luck!!!! J.

i just turned in my i129f for myself and my fiance and as far as proof of an ongoing relationship and of having met once in the past 2 yrs I included airline receipts, plane ticket stubs, copies of my passport stamps and his passport when he came to see me, pictures of us together. I separated everything by the date of the trip. I put the pictures in plastic sheets (about 2-4 of each trip to see each other) and labelled each sheet with the date and place. I also included one email from each year that we've been together although I think I should have included more. I also included copies of holiday cards: birthdays, Valentine's Day, Christmas etc., the engagement ring receipt and a speech that my fiance wrote and sent to my friends for my surprise engagement party.

I think that the more legitimate evidence you have the better. From my understanding pictures of you two together are the most important, airline receipts, hotel receipts. I've heard people say that you're supposed to send tons and tons of evidence but I'm not sure about that. If you don't turn in enough evidence then the worst to happen is an RFE which will delay you but I don't think that its the worst thing in the world (being denied a visa is the worst thing to me). I say turn in as much as you think is appropriate and accurately reflects your relationship and how you feel about each other. I'm only at the NOA1 stage so that's all the advice I can offer. I say follow the guide and include what you think is appropriate.

Best of luck and welcome to the club!

oh and i forgot i had one more question:

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

does question 2. mean i need to send the actual originals of the copies i provided for proof of the ongoing relationship??? i can't send the copies again like i did for the I-129F petition? or does it mean something altogether different?

I take that to me the actual originals and not copies. If you sent copies in your I129f then the embassy already has copies that were forwarded from the service center. They can request to see originals of everything you've submitted (birth cert etc.). I did read somewhere that you don't have to send your passport but I'm not sure if that's true and I don't want to take any chances at the interview stage so I'm going to send my passport to my fiance as well (since I included copies of my passport as evidence).

hope that was helpful.
