statement of intent for I-129

[lizbeth 0]

I've been trying to get my initial petition stuff together and I was wondering if anyone can help with the "original statements for intent to marry." do these need to be real official, signed and stamped documents, or just a typed up statement? It's such a pain to have to send things through fax, email and the mail when my fiance is in Lesotho, not really a place known for it's speedy internet or mail service.

Also, any idea if they will throw a fit over the fact that his passport pictures have a light blue background and not white? we didn't even notice until i was going through all the instructions again.

Thanks a bunch!

I think it can be informal (that's what we did), but I would either have 2 letters (one from you, one from fiance(e)) signed (original signature)or one letter with both signatures. I know that having to use snail mail to Lesotho is not the best, but it might be the safest thing to do.

Good luck with everything!

If you go to the example forms they have one that you can just copy and just change the relavant details thats what we did

Good Luck
