Hi all!

I (USC) am trying to get everything organized and ready for whenever my fiance receives his package 3. (My 129F petition has been forwarded to the Paris Embassy, so I want to be prepared!) I definitely want to include cover letters to keep everything as organized as possible. Does anyone have any examples of cover letters for their package 3 (for France). My fiance will include the DS-2001 and the DS-230 part I, is that it? I also want to have him do a cover letter for his visa appointment, and I am planning to put one together for my I-134 (because there are so many components). I saw the cover letter on VJ for the I-129F petition, but I was wondering if any of you could give me examples of their package 3, visa appointment, and I-134.

Thank you!!!!!!!

In my time on VJ, I've never heard of the need for cover letters for the items/processes that you mention.

Go atop any VJ page, click "Embassy Info," look at Paris, see if cover letters for these items are needed, and follow any tips that might be there.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

For the embassy stage I'm not sure cover letters are needed, but I can't speak for the embassy in France. In Colombia, when you arrive to the embassy, they give you a sheet that tells you the proper order the items are supposed to be in, no cover letter needed.

For the Philippines, we won't need cover sheets as all forms and supporting docs are just handover to the Filipino CO and American CO. I've made few cover sheets for Mike but it's more for his personal use as we don't want to miss any required docs for his medical, interview, and seminar (post interview).

Good luck!

I made a checklist for myself for the I-134. I didn't want to forget to include any documents or evidence. However, it wasn't a cover letter or anything elaborate. :blink:

YMMV.

I know it doesn't require a cover letter, but I figured it would help keep things more organized, as my fiance will be bringing a lot to the interview, and the I-134 and its required documents is a lot to begin with.

Absolutely no need of a cover letter for the French package 3. Your fiance will only need to send back 2 forms.

Other documents will be asked at the interview one by one, no need for a formal cover letter as well. Just write everything as a checklist on a regular paper for the use of your fiance only, they won't want it at all at the embassy.

Also, I answered your questions twice on the french-american couples topic, don't know if you saw it. :) You may consider asking your questions there, as for now, the process is highly country-specific and you may have answer that won't be accurate for France on the K-1 sub-forum.
