items for 129F packet

[Jordandawg05 13]

My fiance is getting ready to mail a package for the 129F packet that'll be sending to the Dallas loxkbox. I wanted to confirm if i am missing anything else that is needed from her.

Shes sending the following:

1- Letter of intent to marry within 90 days of entering the USA

2-G325A

3- One passport style picture

she's also going to send me an english version of her birth certificate and copy of her passport just incase.

Am i missing anything or not thinking of anything else that she needs to send me?

Thanks!

You should also add some of your pics together,

Proof of the trips.

Form I -129f.

Passport style pics of both of you.

Letter of intent to marry both of you.

I sent only passport copy as a proof of citizenship and I got approved.

Gud luck

You might review the guides again and visit the USCIS site also. See some threads of VJ's who had problems and avoid those types of issues.

Yes she need to send you awholelotta love so when USCIS opens the petition they'll be smothered with love and approved in no time Ahh..

Birth cert. and copy of passport isn't needed at this stage for her. Well, if she has a stamp in the passport proving you have met then it's a different matter. But save the copies, the English birth cert. is needed later on for AOS, and of course the K1 interview before then. If you're the one with all the primary evidence of having met, and you have pictures as well, then you're good to go. Right now it's more about the USC and meeting the requirements. Which country is your fiancee from? Good luck.

Edit: I'm assuming your fiancee is not the USC? Otherwise yes, the guides are worth reading.. Twice.

refer to the guides. I think there's some steps you've missed! no big deal, but better to be prepared than get an RFE to slow you down!

If she has any proof of you two meeting in person in the last 2 years, then she should send that too. Otherwise your numbers 1-3 are all you need from her for the petition.

Yes, that is all she needs to send you via postal mail. She must sign the forms and the letters in ink (all other items such as photos, emails, phone call records, and etc. she can send via email). But ask her to send you each item in 2 copies, because you must make 2 copies of the entire package before you send it in (you will keep one).

Also ask her to send you a notarized version of her translated birth certificate. And it is fine if you include both a copy of her passport and her birth certificate. We included these in our application.

Good luck,

I have the primary evidence that we met, she's from Jordan so i just visited her over Christmas and got officially engaged. so I kept my boarding passes and will submit with passport stamps of entry/exist of all my trips ( we've met before prior to this trip but didn't really have primary evidence as we weren't 'engaged per sey).

Correct, i am the USC and my fiance is from Jordan. I've read the guide few times by now lol and been going through threads.

i do have another question for anyone on this fourm. in my situation, i've known my fiance for a long time as i grew up in Jordan and known her as i grew up there and her family. As far as primary evidence, i don't really have anything solid prior to my official engagement that took place this past Christmas/december. I do have one picture together from 2005 and i can pull some emails to have communicated but my primary evidence that i will be submitting is the boarding pass from this past trip and entry/exit stamps ( i have lots of them from this past ten years showing my trips). I was just wondering if my evidence is 'good enough' from my last trip as i went to Jordan to officially get engaged.

Thanks!

I was just asking of the items that my fiance needed to send me - i didn't include the items that i have to include, ie 129f form, letter how we met, evidence...etc

Yes, that is enough. You only have to prove you were together in person once in the 2 years prior to filing.

Yes, include copies of your passport, front to back, every page included. Primary evidence is usually something from a 3rd party who's easily trusted(by USCIS). A passport stamp(or several) is one of those things that I'd prefer using as primary solid proof. As long as the last stamp is less than two years old, you're on the right path, and then you meet the first requirement.

Second one is proving you're a USC. By submitting ALL pages of the passport it's two flies with one smack - only US citizens have a US passport. If you want, you can add your birth cert. to that pile but with all pages of passport(including bio page), it isn't necessary. 3rd requirement is being legally free to marry, you both establish that by submitting the letter of intent so you've got that covered.

Unless it's recommended to front load petitions where Jordan is the country of fiancee you might want to hold back on emails. Right now it's about having met physically. Pictures are supporting your passport stamps(atm receipt, hotel bills etc). If the pictures aren't already time stamped, do it by hand. Can't recall the specific date, then "December 2011" is fine. Your passport stamps already proved you were there in that time frame.

Best of all: look into country specifics. Especially when it comes down to traditions/norms/culture but in general regarding the preparation your fiancee has to do around interview time.
