Help with I-129F please...

[Greylove 0]

My fiance and I are just getting ready to send out the I-129F and we have a few questions:

1. What absolutely needs to be an original copy?? (Other than the obvious - documents with signatures and photo's)

2. We have various boarding passes and a car rental receipt with my name on it from my visit down there for Primary evidence, along with a ton of secondary evidence (phone bills showing I call him 20 times a day , and a ton of roaming charges from my visit. IM messages, all our first correspondences on eharmony, dated photo's of the two of us together, credit card statements showing purchases in each others countries as well as corresponding receipts and more). Will this be sufficient?? (I assume yes, but I want to be certain!!!)

3. What is the best way to go about writing out personal statements. I have a tendency to be slightly long winded, so I want to be sure of what I am trying to say and how I should say it before writing it out.

4. If all goes well, completely smooth, can I hope for a visa in less than 6 months?? As you all can fully understand, I need to get down there!!!

Thanks so much!!!

I-129F, G325A AND INTENT TO MARRY.

YOY ONLY HAVE TO SUBMIT EVIDENCE YOU MET IN PERSON IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. SAVE EMAILS, CHATS,PHONE BILLS FOR THE INTERVIEW WHEN YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOU HAVE A BONAFIDE RELATIONSHIP!

SEND AFEW PHOTOS TOGETHER.

6 MONTHS WILL BE THE FASTEST.

Thanks so much!!!

1. Petition itself, fiance(e) letters of intent, G325a forms.

2. You only need to show evidence for meeting one time in the last 2 years. Phone calls are never evidence of meeting in person, they are the opposite. Save those for the interview for "proof of ongoing relationship" Use photos, travel documents (boarding passes) or receipts from hotel and rent-a-car. Canadians do not normally get their passport stamped when entering the USA, but you could ask.

3. We used the sample fiance(e) letters here on VJ exactly verbatim (except names, of course) no need to get creative. You are trying to say you are able and intend to marry you fiancee within 90 days of entering the USA on your K-1 visa.

3a. If you refer to how you met, (Question 18) here is my answer: "While returning from a trip to Odessa, UA on Sept. 19, 2007, I had an overnight layover in Prague, CZ. I met Alla while waiting in line to buy bus tickets to the city." That is all. I attached one photo (the exact photo is posted at our profile) boarding passes and passport stamps. No RFEs.

4. You can hope. Ours went real smoothly, no RFEs, approval in 58 days, no questions asked interview. Does it get any better? It was 6 months, almost to the day, from filing until my fiancee (now wife) arrived.

Thanks so much, that helps a lot!! I am so grateful for this website... I just wish I had known about it before I spend 40 bucks to send my documents to Grey and now I have to send more... Oh well, I am so glad to know that we can do this right the first time... I just want to get my visa so I can get down there!!!

Any other suggestions to make this a smooth process will be much appreciated!!

Thanks again!

Read through the GUIDES, the FAQ and use the example forms in the links above. Read everything you can. Then learn all you can about the Embassy you will be dealing with by visiting the Embassy info & review pages. Educate yourself to the process, then prepare as best you can... that is the best advice I can give you for smooth sailing.

btw.. if you fill in your timeline you will get an estimated adjutication date.

good luck.
