Submit fiance's birth certificate with I-129F?

[Nate & Gladys 0]

Hi all! This forum has been a great resource for me as I have been preparing the K-1 visa application for my fiance. Here is my question...

I have a copy of my fiance's birth certificate, and an english translation as well, because I originally thought it was required. Now I understand that only my birth certificate is required with this filing. Can anyone share a reason TO or NOT TO include my fiance's birth certificate with the I-129f filing? Thanks!

There is no reason to include the beneficiary's birth certificate. Hold onto it, and the translation, it will be needed for the interview.

one reason not to is that it is not required

we included also my birth certificate with our application, and we had no trouble with that or probably was better seeing the timeline for the k1....goodluck for your journey!

it's not required anyway.

I Include Mav's. Best Color Copy and Translated.

Just me and my Attorneys thoughts. But, Heck, I don't know, No NOA2 Yet.

Can't be far off now Tim...

I wouldn't include anything that isn't required. If they didn't ask for it, then they don't need it. Best of luck!

The general rule is to include only what you need. As stated above, you will need the certificate later though.

Edited to say except for proof of relationship. Members include a huge amount of data (phone/skype logs, pictures, you name it), mostly without need.

Not necessary for the I-129f/ Attorneys that tell you to include it do not understand the process and should be avoided.

Reasonably speaking. I did not go to VJ and and seek a Free Online Advice Kit. While in the Philipphines I gathered all Necessary Documents that will be required later. I paid my Attourney for a Service and made sure she has what she needs since The Attourney's Services are in the Agreement.

I Gathered as many Supportive Documents Posible while I was there. Not Have Her (My Finacee' Mail them later and wait.) Those Documents are in my File with the Attourney. Mav has a Copy (Best) in Color of her Birth Cert as well.

There are many things Members agree on and things that are dis-agreed. I myself am not always right but learn by reading and double checking BEST ANSWERS.

Just a thought: What if; the petioner went through all this and never worried about a birth Cert just assuming she had one? And later found out she never had a True Copy.?

SHOW ME THE PAPERWORK ! Eachothers of the Petitioner/Beneficiary so this can be as smoothe as posible.

What if the Beneficiary LATER Said: OH! What does Divorce Mean ? Know your Future Husband/Wife.

It is posible that the beneficiary will have a hard time getting these Documents when needed. (In some Cases) Alot of Mav's Documents were lost by Coincidences of time.

No there not required in the 129-F from the Beneficiary BUT all these Questions will be asked later and you get a NO or YES for your Visa after all this hard work that went into your Petition.

Would'nt you rather feel better knowing you had everything Required at the time of of the interview or ??? I don't have that today Consular!

[Tim/Mav 305]

Huh?

HUH! t's nots so much as what is required. It is knowing eachothers background for what USCIS throws at you. I Generally respect your thoughts. But your advice for being a Supreme Member says. HUH. Add something ? I'm waiting.

All this Information will be asked for at one and/or another. Are you saying it's not best to be prepared? Just take it as it goes. ?

Thats like going to a hanging party and your the guest.... A ciggarette a a mouth of chew before they put the Black Cape over your head.

The Best thing is to be prepared for anything.

To the OP. Have everthing beforehand as best you can.

Thats me.
