About to submit I-129F - Some Final Questions

[gordec 0]

Hi everone,

My fiancee and I are about to send out the package. We have some final questions.

1. Do we need to both sign the Cover Sheet? She already left the US. We signed most of the papers when she was here two weeks ago, but I had to make corrections to the Cover Sheet.

2. For evidence of ongoing relationship, we are planning to submit 10 good quality photos, copies of our passports showing traveling between Germany and USA. I am still debating if I should include cell phone bills. I don't feel it can add any strength to the photos and passport copies. Please give opinions.

3. Any additional pitfalls we should be in look out for?

Thanks for the help

1. No. Cover sheet isn't a requirement.

2. Passport and if you have them, boarding passes that back up the stamp(s) in your passport are very good proof. Receipts from visits are also good. Photos are considered secondary evidence but many couples submit them anyway. At this point, all the USCIS cares about is that you have met within the past two years.

Petitioner is the one who does cover sheet.

You only have to prove you met in the last 2 years. Save emails for interview.

As Karen already suggested, what they are looking for now is proof that you are both able to file and marry and proof of having met in the last two years. But, depending on what Consulate you are going through, its sometimes advisable to send along some secondary evidence.

Words mean things and this is a process that will highlight that fact at every turn.

The USC petitioner would sign any cover sheet. It's their petition.

You've not been asked for evidence of an ongoing relationship yet. You've been asked to provide primary evidence of meeting in person during the past two years. Unless you have obvious red flags to address, leave out evidence of ongoing relationship and concentrate on primary evidence of meeting, like boarding passes and passport stamps.

Thanks for all the input. We are not very good about keeping boarding passes, but we have all the passports. I photocopied all of our passports hopefully that will be enough.
