I129f....

[wellford 0]

Hello everyone, been lurking on this board for a few days now, and finally

decided to post a question or two.

Now, I have the I 129f filled out ready to go, and I wrote a letter of intent,

would it be beneficial for my fiance to write one also?

Second, do we both need to fill out, submit an 825A form?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Both are required to write and sign with original signatures a letter of intent.

There is no such form 825A.

Please read the guides again it is step by step and tells you exactly what you need to provide. http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

I'm so sorry, it's the G-325A form, not the 825. My bad.

Yes follow the instructions and look at the sample forms that are already filled out. It helped me immensely when I filed earlier this year.

Hello Everyone again.

Now I'm reading where it says that the fee for the I129F has

been lowered to $240 USD. Is this correct?

I just uploaded some photos to wal-mart to submit with the

fiancee visa. And I received her passport-style photos.

Now when I go to pick up the uploaded photos, I can have

them take my passport photo.

I've already written the letter of intent, and she's going to

write one, too. And she has to send back the 325A form,

and then I think we're good to go.

Is there any thing else anyone can think of to submit with this

other stuff.

Thanks.

According to USCIS.gov (which is where you should ALWAYS go for forms and fees), the fee is still $340. However, the visa fee paid at or before the interview (at the end of the process) has dropped to $240, I believe.

From your list, I see that you have the forms and the letters of intent. Do you have the rest of your supporting evidence? Proof of US citizenship, proof of meeting in two years, etc.

Yes, I have front, back copies of my birth certificate, and I am in the process of

finding my old passport with the entry/exit stamps, and I am going to print out my

Pingo phone records. Further, I am waiting patiently for a copy of my divorce decree.

I am also looking for copies of my itineraries or copies of my credit card statements.

What else?

How about reading the guide to get the information on what's needed? This is a do-it-yourself site, not a "let me hold your hand and guide you through each step" site.

LeftCoastLady,

I was going to write something really nasty at you,

but decided it was bad karma.

Did you infer that I needed someone to "hold my hand....?"

Please.

I just joined this site to get some information. And all the other members

have been kind, helpful to me. Until you.

Further, some of us don't have hours upon hours to sit behind a computer

and peruse all the pages of posts on here.

So I would greatly appreciate it if you kept your opinions to yourself.

Thanks.

Good luck on your VisaJourney. If you can't take the time to read the guides, then I do hope you read the I-129F instructions.

I have been reading everything I possibly can (before I need to walk

away from this thing). But this fiancee visa is soooooo important to me, my

friend that I just want to make sure I have everything done properly.

In fact, in some of the posts, people are sending their packets

to the California Service Center. But I read yesterday on the USCIS website

that there is only one place to send them, and that's in Texas, I believe.

Some of this stuff on here is so old, it's really confusing to me.

I just want to make sure this is done right the first time, that's all.

No hard feelings, Left....

I would rather send too much paperwork than not enough, and

have to wait even longer.

You are right in that everyone sends them to Texas. If you're ever unsure of anything on this site, the form instructions from uscis.gov are up to date. It used to be that we would send our petitions to California or Vermont depending on what state we live in, but it's been a couple years since that was the case. They're all sent to Dallas now, and then forwarded to California or Vermont.

But again, always double check the instructions.

Good luck to you on your journey.

Evylin,

Thank you.

And I just checked on the USCIS site, and it seems the price is still

$340. If I send them a check with my packet, I should send just $240?

I wish this were easier.

That's because the filing fee IS still $340.

The $240 that people on VJ talk about is the visa fee at the end of the process at the interview stage.
