I am working on my I-129F for a K-1 Fiancee Visa, initial request.

On the Fiancée Letter of Intent to marry.

First section is beneficiary's address: this is easy, her full name and address.

Second section is USCIS service center address: Here I used the following:

United States Department of Homeland Security

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

P.O. Box 660151

Dallas, TX 75266

Third section is embassy address, she lives in Cebu City, so I used the following:

United States Department of State

United States Consulate, Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines

Ground Level, Waterfront Hotel

Salinas Drive

Lahug, Cebu City

Philippines 6000

1) My question is more about section 3, is the Cebu Consulate correct? Or should it list the Manila Embassy?

2) Is section 2 correct, or did I perform my search incorrectly?

I got the above info from searching the US immigrations web site.

Thanks,

Char

Section 2. The Dallas TX Location.

Send your Letter of Intent included with your 129-F Petition.

After approvals it will be sent to Manila. There is no need to send a Letter of Intent to Cebu or Manila at this time.

Supply her a New Letter of Intent (updated) before the Interview.

The only embassy you should be dealing with in the Phils is in Manila. The consular office in Cebu is more like an extension office and doesn't process paper work nor conduct interviews.

Good luck.

You don't need a specific address on your letter of intent it will be included with your packet to the Embassy. Just make sure it is identified with you if it gets separated.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

This is Not what the OP is asking. They have'nt even sent the 129-F Petition yet. The replies are looking far ahead and down the road.

The letter of Intent is to be sent with the 129-F to the Dallas location. And thats the start. There is NO Embassy involved at this time. It goes to USCIS in Texas first for approval of a NOA1.

Tell me where it says to send a Letter of Intent before approved for a NOA1 to an Embassy? Thats what I mean. The OP has not even started yet.

Tell me where it says to send a Letter of Intent while waiting for a NOA2 ?

This is sent with the Original Petition to the Dallas location for approval and beggining.

Not to an Embassy.

These Documents come much later down the road.

Thinking about :unsure: I said it goes to USCIS in Texas. :bonk: It goes to Homeland Security? #######! I'm confused now.

Non the less. Send to Texas OP with your Petition.

I am trying to get my Fiancee's forms filled out correctly. Then I will have her sign them and snail mail them to me. Then, I will add all of my documents to send to Dallas.

It sounds like I have section 2 filled out correctly, and section 3 should reflect the Manila embassy. So, I guess I will make that change. I am just trying to get these forms filled out correctly to avoid problems in the future.
