Hello!

I am about to file a Petition for Alien Fiance, I-129F, and wonder: How long with they keep my passport that I will send in with the application? What do you do if you need to travel before you get it back?

Thanks!

Hi, you only need to send them a complete copy (every page, including the blank ones from front to back) of your passport. No need to send them you passport.

Look under the Guides section under K1 and it will tell you everything you need to do.

Good luck.

You do not send in your passport. Never mail off your passport, ever. Please see the guide: (http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide) and I-129F instructions: (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf) for the requirements of the I-129F petition.

Thank you all! Wow, I have my new mommy blinders on (sleep deprivation) and though I read the instructions, I was sure it said 'send in your passport'...thanks for clearing that up for me!
