Documentation & Filing Questions

[TheZilla 0]

I am assembling my I-129F form and packet of documentation [hope to send it out Tuesday!!], with a few puzzling things:

First, I downloaded the example cover letter, and the general assembly instructions. I assembled the packet in the assembly instructions way since it boldly stated to do it in that order, yet the cover letter lists the table of contents in a different order. Which do I use?

Second, my fiance's previous passport was water damaged and had to be destroyed so he could get a new one. I've included copies of visitation stamps and photo pages from both his old and new passport. I wasn't sure if this would be confusing, so on the cover letter I listed "Copies of passport stamps from beneficiary's previous and most recent passport". Is that acceptable or should I just not mention it? Or do something else?

Third, the instructions say to black out any personal info on emails, phone bills I'm including, which I did. But the cover letter includes the statement "Copies of all documents are exact photocopies of unaltered documents". But I did alter them by blacking stuff out. How do I get around that one or do I just sign that anyway?

Any help would be appreciated for this nervous attention to detail first timer!! Thanks for your patience and help

You can reorder the table of contents to match the order, or it can stay the way it is. It is just an inventory of what you sent, no order implied.

About the copy of passport you did it correctly, besides other evidence will just help like copies of receipts dated photos, hotel bills...

Yes you can blank out things of personal nature they just want to see evidence that you routinely communicate, besides print outs can be altered on the computer before they are printed.

The unaltered docs refers to Birth Certificate and Passport.

Thanks so much YuAndDan!

The I-129F doesn't require a cover letter, but it certainly helps make it look more professional and easier for the USCIS to sort through, which can only help your case move faster. You can re-order in whichever way you want. I didn't send any kind of cover letter in, as I had no knowledge of this site up until a couple months ago and the I-129F instructions make no mention of a cover letter - the NOA2 came regardless.

YouAndDan, I swear I'm not picking on stuff you write, but here it goes! Evidence of communication is not evidence of having met or of having a relationship - it depends on the content of the e-mails.
