You sent a little too much(proof of support it will only be needed at the interview stage). I dont think it'll be a problem that. Oh, and you also needed a cover letter

did you also include a g-1145 form ? it is optional and it's for e-mail notifications

good luck!

There is a bit of stuff not needed: proof of financial support, copy of paystubs, your top sec. sec clear. through your job (not sure what this is to prove), only need either 1) copy of birth certificate OR 2) copy of all pages of passport (to prove your citizenship)

Other stuff included like your "story", letters of support, emails, etc. are all good for proof of relationship and may be good for front loading your petition. The USCIS doesn't care about it though, it would mainly be for when the embassy receives the approved petition.

You said you included flight itineraries and pictures, but that is secondary evidence of proof of meeting. Did you include the passport stamps (assume maybe that is why you included all pages of your passport?) and actual copies of your boarding passes?

The petition packet itself doesn't need to be large at all, you are just proving: you met within 2 years, you both are legally free and willing/able to marry, and that you are a US citizen.

[Carie_Azan 35]

thank you! I guess too much is better then too little

boarding passes, no. I threw them out, but did have copies of all pages in my passport with stamps, etc.

my congressmen also sent a note of support.. and #######! I forgot to make a copy of the packet....

will us being in two different places have an effect on our interview.

p.s a lawyer advised I send my clearence.

Cover letter is optional as well.

If g1145 wasn't submitted, I'd recommend signing up for status updates on USCIS's webpage. Not because you'd want to check all the time if there are any updates(it makes the process loooooong) but because it's crucial that you respond to any notices from USCIS sent to your address. The online status notifies you and you'll know if you're expecting something in the mail from USCIS. You can sign up both for email and text.

I'd suggest you jump to the regional forum and take a look at other couples having gone through the process at that embassy so you'll know what to expect later on. I don't know how it'll look to the embassy when you've included something involving a wedding gown and this is a fiance(e) petition/visa.

Good luck on your journey.

Suggest you also notify your boss at Department of State that you filed an I-129F for a foreign fiance. I don't know if it will affect your security clearance, but almost every government employee who has a clearance must inform their superiors if they have a relationship with a foreign national.

Your case may get some additional scrutiny because of this.

[Carie_Azan 35]

thank you! all is well with my clearence!

Also, we are engaged, obviously I would have my wedding gown!

[Carie_Azan 35]
