Declaration of how we met in person

[Bryan n Christine 0]

Just do not confuse the I-129F continuation/addendum sheets (which do not require original beneficiary signatures) with the G-325A continuation/addendum sheets (which do require original beneficiary signatures). I caught this when I was reviewing my package after it was rejected prior to "Official Resiept" (NOA1). I called USCIS because the rejection letter stated I had not provided an I-129F with an original signature (which it had). I wanted to be sure everything was in order, and asked about all required original signatures. They told me the continuation/addendum sheets require the same original signatures as the forms they are supplementing. Fortunately I had the foresight to have my fiance sign 3 blank copies of the G-325A forms. I hand wrote responses to each question thereby eliminating the need for continuation/addendum sheets for her G-325A. You should have seen how small I had to write to fit everything into the small answer blocks!

This is what the Call Center told me needed original signatures:

I-129F (Petitioner)

I-129F cont./add. (petitioner)

G-325A cont./add. (petitioner)

G-325A (petitioner)

G-325A (beneficiary)

G-325A cont./add. (beneficiary)

Letter of Intent to Marry (petitioner)

Letter of Intent to Marry (beneficiary)

Good Luck!

My fiance wrote a single sentence to explain how we met. It fit so wonderfully in that little box.

Leave out the lovey-dovey stuff.

hearing this makes me i wrote the declaration of how we met in person and my SO was telling me that it wasnt very mushy or romatic at all. I didnt think it needed to be a love story, I just outlined the details of when we met, how often we talk, when we have visited etc..

My fiancé (USC) just wrote for the Q18 :

We met in Milan at the end of november 2006 when I was working in Europe.

It would be a wise idea to research any of your red flags that might come up at the interview and address them with this petition, along with any material evidence backing your case. If I had to do it over again that is what I would have done. I believe it could have saved me the additional 15 months due to a denial.

That is good advice for those going through the more difficult consulates

What would you consider the more difficult consulates?

in the instruction an original statement of intent is required from both... This is different than Q18 though many people will do some sort of combination covering both items in one

So if you both file a separate letter of intent to marry in 90 days only one signature is required on the declaration of how we met document?

thats what we did......we just filed last week so its a wait and see....hope there wont be a problem. we just followed the basic instructions.
