Newbie with paperwork question..

[digbeezgrl 0]

Hi there,

I am new to all this (which I'm sure I'm not alone...) can anyone give me a 'sample' or example of what a letter of intent should say? I wrote my own and sent it to my English fiance, but I am so afraid it may be wrong....

It goes something like this:

This letter is to inform you that i intend to enter into legal marriage...blah blah, during his stay in teh US on a K1 visa, which i have submitted a petition for. (Obviously, haven't done that yet)

What else does it need to say? Also, I'be been told to send him a letter of 'invitation' (inviting him to marry me and live with me in the US?) and i've done this as well, but again, afraid it either says too much or is missing some vital piece of info.....

if anyone who's been approved would like to let me see what their letters said, I would greatly appreciate an example to go by. THank you soooooo much!

This 'letter of intent'? Was that supposed to be in the I-129F? We sent it in without and got approved. Or do we need it for the Interview. This site is the greatest ...............{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Oh God, I'm just getting more confused by the minute.... EEK>

OK, here's what my directions said.

Send a photo (white background) of each of you.

Send the completed I129 F

Send Biographics sheets, me and him

Send 'Letter of Intent' one from you and one from him (Exact instructions: Provide original statements

from you and your finace whom you intend to marry within 90 days of his or her admission to US, and copies

of any evidence you wish to submit to establish your intent to marry.)

So, a letter inviting his hand in marriage and to live in US with me seems appropriate, or not?

Send evidence that you have met in the last 2 years.

Geezuz, I don't know WHAT to do for this one. We have pix from last summer, that were taken with one of those disposable cameras, and there are NO dates on them! How else do we prove that we were together last summer???? Other than the pix, there is no physical evidence that places us in the same town, hotel, etc.... how strict are they on this?

*Do I send these pix with the I-129 petition or keep it all to show at interview? arg.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Please be nice... you've been in my position too, I assume.

Yes, I admit it. I tried, as stated above, to check the examples but was unable to open them on Word

for whatever reason. I have read enough guides but they all seem different... hence the confusion.

I also spoke to a real human at CIS who gave me a very different picture than the one in the instructions

that came with the petition packet.... so you see, I am seeking opinions/advice for what worked for people who've done it successfully already. Thank you again to all those who replied...

Thank you, that is exactly what I needed.

Send evidence that you have met in the last 2 years.

You need to be able to prove that you have met in the 2 years prior to filing the petition. This is a requirement and necessary for the petition to be eligible. Is there absolutely nothing else that can you can think of? Plane tickets, boarding passes eg?

[MrMrsKnight 0]

To prove you've met within the last two years you can use boarding passes, hotel receipts, copy of passport stamps, credid card receips, pictures of you together...

And you do have to send two Visa pictures(one of each of you) with your petition. Here's an example of what they need to look like:

[aussiewench 9]

On reading a post in another thread it appears the letter of intent in the examples is not 100% for the initial filing of the petition. One should put the name and address of the service center the petition is being filed with. The Embassy address as shown is for the interview stage apparently.

Note to self: the example form here needs to be adjusted to reflect that

Well, his passport stamps would be the only thing that would place him here.. but that doesn't necessarily prove he was coming to see me... I can't prove that I picked him up at the airport, etc....

What about the 'index photo' that comes with your pictures now when You get them developed? That has a date on it.... it's just that the full sized pix didnt' have dates cuz they were one of those ####### cameras...

I'm assuming digital photos dont count.... which, unfortunately, was what the majority of our pix were taken with...

So, passport stamps, does that work? He thinks he's discarded all boarding pass and plane tickets. We never would have thought to save all this stuff.

We just used the example on VJ and plugged in the necessary information.
