cant remember very well but don't you need 2 passport photos of each?? or is it only one??

I read from the instructions for Form I-129F that "Give USCIS a passport-style color photograph of yourself and a passport-style color photograph of your fiancee." So I would think they mean just 1 passport photo. Is everyone sending 1 passport photo without getting any RFE?

12/05/2011...........RFE received.

12/13/2011...........RFE response sent.

12/16/2011...........RFE RESPONSE received by Vermont S.C.

12/22/2011...........Teased by a text-message from uscis, saying they have received my response to the RFE.

12/30/2011...........LA VISA APROVADOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

01/12/2012...........Case Sent To Bogota Colombia, from the National Visa Center.

02/09/2012...........Schedule Interview.

Sorry- I messed up on the first reply and didn´t say any thing. Is everything on this list necessary for the original application? I don't see all these things on the USCIS site. We are each writing individual letters of intent, but is the 325 biographics necessary from the outset? Thanks. I'm in my fiancees country right now, so we want to get these things correct from the start.

For example, how would a foreign fiancee already have an alien number? Also, should her address and job info be filled out in English or in Spanish? I wish my camera was here so I could send in a foto of us filling out all these stupid forms.

Do I need to send the ORIGINAL copy of the Divorce Decree?

Anybody get RFE by sending in the COPY version of the Divorce Decree?

You only send a copy of the certified copy you receive from the court.

If the petitioner is not a US citizen from birth thats what shows citizenship. and the passport pages also shows that the petitioner has indeed traveled in the pass 2 years to visit the beneficiary. Serves 2 purposes if not one.

You do not need to send in all the pages of your passport. The OP stated they are sending in a copy of their birth certificate. You do not need both to prove citizenship. One or the other will do. They can send in a copy of their passport bio page and copies of the pages that have the stamps to prove meeting in the last 2 years. All the pages are not required.

cant remember very well but don't you need 2 passport photos of each?? or is it only one??

You need 1 for each person.

Ok i'm nervous now. I put a copy of my certified copy of my divorce paperwork in the K1 application, and was planning on sending the certified copy to my fiance to take to her interview. So should I expect a RFE?

Don't be nervous. A copy is all you needed to send.

If you have the birth certificate to prove citizenship then you don't need the passport pages, just those that have proof of having met in person.

It is my understanding that the packet needs one passport photo each - one for the petitioner and one for the beneficiary. This site instructed me to write names on the back of the photos, put each in a plastic bag, and staple to a plain white sheet of typing paper...hope that is right.

If your fiance does not have an alien number just put N/A the only reason she would have one is if she had been in the US before on a work visa or something alot of people meet their fiances that way but alot also meet on line so they have no number.

Her address should be her address in her home country, in other words write it like they would write it there. The job and other things like that such as her letter of intemt should be in english, if it needs to be translated you need a letter from the translator saying that they are competent to translate into english, if you are bi-lingual this can be you. You don't need a copy of a license or anything.

Yes it is one for each with the original I-129F petition, and it sounds like you did it correctly. You will need more for the medical and embassy interview, I know I will need 6 more of the beneficiary for Colombia but it may vary at different embassies.
