Nervous!

So I lived in St. Petersburg, Russia for 2 years. I had loose contact with one girl there and then when I came back home to California we started to talk more and more. I eventually went back to visit her in December and I proposed while I was there. We have finally (as far as I can tell...) gathered all of the needed documents to start the petition for her K-1 visa to come to the States! I have the packet here in my hand now. I am just nervous that I am forgetting or don't know about something. I would really like to avoid any problems, so that's why I'm turning to you!

As of right now I have: I-134, G-325A (one copy for each of us), letters of intent to marry (one from each), I-129F, passport-style photos (from each), and a copy of my birth certificate.

Do I need to include copies of plane tickets or letters or anything to prove that we have met? I don't know how much is too much to send.

Any help would be VERY appreciated!

You should read the instructions for the I-129F form, as well as the guides here on VJ. (Up at the top there!)

Because both say clearly to include evidence that you've met within the last two years. Plane boarding passes and/or passport stamps. (Plane 'tickets' could technically warrant an RFE since anyone can buy a ticket, but you want to prove you were on that plane.)

The i-134 is not needed yet, this is needed for the interview not the initial filing.

Include some evidence that you have met the past two years (some pictures, plane tickets, stamps, anything you feel could validate your relationship and establish that you did see each other.

Don't forget the check or money order.

You can add a cover letter if you'd like. :)

Goodluck! :D

Hope this helps: This is what my Attouney included with the I-129F Petition..

A copy in full color of both our Passports Cover to Cover. Every Page (Blank or Not)

Both are Birth Certificates. BEST COPY and also translated if in another lauguange

Copies of plane tickets, hotel receipts.

Attourneys (though this is optional) ask the petitioner's Letter of Intent" to be Notorized.

Copy of Engagement Ring receipt. (optional)

Best Copy Pictures ( 8 to 12 ) of you together.

Double check the 325 for typos, names etc. and be sure there signed.

5 Year employment history with addresses. ( My Attourney added a Ademdum to my 325 since there is little room to write in that small box )

Hope this helps, I might have missed a few things.

Good Luck.

As other has said, I would go to the Guides link at the top of the page and then select K1 Visa Guide. It accurately provides a list of what you need for your petition.
