hi blue surf,

there are basically three questions that you need to answer. (this is the gyst form)

1. whether you met thru a marriage broker (this question has boxes to check yes or no) ]

then following it is a line, if you answered yes please provide the name of the marriage broker, and location.

2. have you been convicted of ... check all of the following that apply to you(here there are no boxes to answer yes or no) just three other boxes to check

box 1 - domestic violence.sexual assault...

box 2 - homicide, murder...

box 3 - three or more convictions for crimes relation to a controlled substance...

3. If you have provided infomation about a conviction for a crime listed above and you were being battered of subjected to exteme cruelty by your spouce, parent, or adult child at the time of your conviction, check all of the following that apply to you (again no boxes to say yes or none)

box 1. i was acting in self defense

box 2 i violated a protection order...

box 3 i committed, was arrested for,....

sorry no scanner here at work or at home but i hope i gave a good picture of what the questionnaire looked like.

Where do you get the new Form 129F? I know this might be a silly question and you might say go read it somewhere but isn't that what we are all here to help each other out going through same situations. I am going to go look for the new form but if anyone could help it would be appreciated. :help: I start applying for my K-3 visa in August after my wedding and would love to do this right. Thanks and best wishes.

I just got it today also. Post mark dated on the envelope that I receive was Jun 27,2006. Didnt get any email indicating that I was gonna get a RFE but noticed that my application was updated on the 23rd. Only checked no on the first question and left everything else blank. However, I did not turn in the introduction sheet but the question and the blue sheet. Don't think the introduction sheet was necessary to mail back. Was it? :(

Kinda makes you feel like they expect you to have a criminal record. Not giving you the chance to said no. I thought it was innocent until proven guilty. not the other way around. hehehehehe sorry had to say it.
