Letter of intent with I-129F

[Cacerez 19]

"Original statements (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) "

I saw this in the guides to file K-1 on VJ (I filed in October 08 before finding this site) and I never knew about this! I followed the directions from the USCIS website as well as used a book from 2008 with all the requirements for a I-129F application. I put in my letter of how we met "We plan on having the judge at the Circuit Court in Lynchburg, Virginia marry us shortly after he arrives." Does anyone think I will get an RFE or has anyone gotten an RFE for not including these letters in their app? Also, are RFEs not usually sent out until getting ready to process the NOA2? Thanks!

""We plan on having the judge at the Circuit Court in Lynchburg, Virginia marry us shortly after he arrives"

That's basically an intent to marry if you guys signed the letters. I doubt if you'll get a RFE but who knows for sure.

Be sure both of you do updated letters of intent right before your interview!

You never know if they send RFE but instuctions for I-129F in instruction 5. What Documents Do You Need to Prove That You Can Legally Marry. part B. says Provide original statements from you and your fiance(e) whom you plan to marry within 90 days of his or her admission, and cipies of any evidence you wish to submit to establish your mutual inten: and blah blah...

Maybe u get lucky maybe not but it is a required item maybe u should call the helpline and inquire what to do and save yourself some time.

Good Luck

i cant see anything wrong for using your own words with the letter of intent. U just have to prove you have plans to marry before the 90 days expires. Most importantly its an original handwritten or typed letter with signature your signature affixed.

Your own words are fine but there is no need to prove plans. You simply state your intention to marry within 90 days of the beneficiary's US entry and sign the letter.

I did include a copy of my divorce papers to show that I am "able" to marry. But my fiance did not sign the aforementioned letter, only myself. Why is this such a daggon technical process? You don't do one little thing correct and they might reject it or just draw it out to even longer grrr.
