K1 Questions

[Caroline + Angelo 20]

Hello everyone!

I am visiting my U.S. fiance for the holidays right now and we are preparing our petition package together so he can send it out after I go back to Germany in January. Since he's working all day most of the time I am filling out the application forms and I have a few questions regarding Forms I-129F and G325A and some general questions:

1. My fiance is a U.S. citizen by birth in the U.S., so on I-129F Part A, Question 10 I checked "Birth in the U.S." and not "Naturalization". Then it says Give certificate number, date and place it was issued. Does that only apply if one checked "Naturalization" or do they want the birth certificate number etc.? If yes, I have his birth certificate right here and it has a Registration No. but then it has three different dates...Date signed, Date received by local registrar, and the date on which my fiance acquired the birth certificate (last August). If they need this information, which date do I use?

2. I put my fiance's work address for Part A, Question 2. Address since he's there all day, every day and wants to use it as his mailing address. I put his residential address for Part B, Question 14. Address where your fiance intends to live and on his G-325A and added a supplemental sheet for his G-325A to explain the different addresses. But the first thing they'll see is two different addresses on the I-129F and I"m afraid they won't even look at the rest of the application after that and see the G-325A supplemental sheet. Is it OK to have two different addresses on the I-129F and then put the explanation after his G-325A or should I already explain in a supplemental sheet after the I-129F?

3. On my G-325A my mother's city and country of birth didn't fit in the line, so I only typed the city, printed it out and used a black ink pen to fill in the country. I also filled in the date on both forms with a black ink pen since it didn't fit in the typed mm/dd/yyyy format. Is that OK to have most of the form filled out digitally and have three things filled out with a pen?

4. Is it enough to just copy the stamped pages of my passport or should I copy and send all pages and additionally highlight the stamped pages somehow? We are sending in copies of all pages of my fiance's passport for proof of citizenship (in addition to his birth certificate) and highlighting his stamped pages, but do I as the beneficiary also send in all pages?

5. On the copies of the boarding passes, passport stamps, amtrack tickets etc. can I use a marker to highlight information directly on the page or should I use post-its and write on those?

I think that's it for now, hope someone can help :-) thanks in advance!!!!

no one?

1. I (the USC) checked birth certificate and left the rest blank.

2. I have no idea. I would err on the side of not confusing them at all if i were you, though. That's the main reason I'm not moving this year so I don't have to do an address change.

3. I retyped the entire section of anything that wouldn't fit in the blanks. Even if it was only the city that wouldn't fit.

4. I sent all pages. (I'm a little OCD)

5. I used a sticky note and was careful not to mark any of the "official" documents. I did, however, highlight on emails, chat logs, etc.

Hope that helps a little

You dont need to put any certificate number if he is a born citizen

2. I put my fiance's work address for Part A, Question 2. Address since he's there all day, every day and wants to use it as his mailing address. I put his residential address for Part B, Question 14. Address where your fiance intends to live and on his G-325A and added a supplemental sheet for his G-325A to explain the different addresses. But the first thing they'll see is two different addresses on the I-129F and I"m afraid they won't even look at the rest of the application after that and see the G-325A supplemental sheet. Is it OK to have two different addresses on the I-129F and then put the explanation after his G-325A or should I already explain in a supplemental sheet after the I-129F?

If I were you I would use the home address for both why does he want to get such personal info at work. Does he not think he will get his mail at home?

3. On my G-325A my mother's city and country of birth didn't fit in the line, so I only typed the city, printed it out and used a black ink pen to fill in the country. I also filled in the date on both forms with a black ink pen since it didn't fit in the typed mm/dd/yyyy format.

That's Fine

4. Is it enough to just copy the stamped pages of my passport or should I copy and send all pages and additionally highlight the stamped pages somehow? We are sending in copies of all pages of my fiance's passport for proof of citizenship (in addition to his birth certificate) and highlighting his stamped pages, but do I as the beneficiary also send in all pages?

copying just the stamped pages and bio page of your passport is fine and copying the stamped pages along with his bio page is fine you dont need to copy all the pages in his passport. The birth certificate is enough to prove his citizenship.

5. On the copies of the boarding passes, passport stamps, amtrack tickets etc. can I use a marker to highlight information directly on the page or should I use post-its and write on those?

You dont need to highlight anything on these documents just copy them the people at USCIS will know what they are....

I think that's it for now, hope someone can help :-) thanks in advance!!!!
