Ok - so we have everything ready for our K1 application and i just wanted to double check with everyone if it all seems ok. We have

-Cover letter

-$170 money order made out to the Department of homeland security

-I-129F form signed and dated

-Letter of how and when we met signed and dates (also explained that we lived together)

-G-325a forms for both me and my fiance

-Passport size photos of both me and my fiance

-Copies of all pages of my fiances US passport

-Letter of intent to marry for both me and my finace both signed and dated

-Copies of US airforce deployment papers showing my fiances permanent change of base to Mildenhall, England with date and the deployment papers showing the new permanent change of base to Davis Monthan, Arizona with date

- A few printed email itineries with both our names on detailing a trip to the states we made together

-A printed itenary for a vacation to Salzburg we had together with both our names

-A few bills dated around the same time with the same address for both of us

-Yet another itineray on a trip to Cyprus we took together with both our names and our address

-2 copies of US airforce base passes dated, signed and with a photo of me on them.

-9 color photos of both me and my fiance together - many of them on trips we took, one in our house, one with both my parents at christmas and one at his military graduation to SSGT

-A few emails dated during the time that my fiance was deployed to Qatar for 4 months.

-A copy of my Tanzanian divorce certificate, notorized, dated and signed.

Is there anything we're missing? Do you think we should send a copy of my fiances military ID for extra ID? Im actually in the states right now in our apartment and Im dreading the day i have to leave and not know when i can return because of the time the visa takes. I want to make things as smooth as possible so the time apart wont be as long and finally we can get back to life like it was before Jamal was stationed back in the US. Your comments would be really appretiated.

You were silent about this, but if there is any documents being provided as evidence that is not in English will also include a "certified" translation.

The Tanzanian divorce certificate is in English so I dont have to worry about that. Thanks though :)

Some people have gotten RFE's for birth certificates, I sent a copy of mine AND my fiance's with my I-129F, but then I got an RFE for credit card statements and bank statements showing that I made purcheses / cash withdrawals in Thailand on my visits.

There are two schools of thought on this:

1. Send only what they ask for

2. Bury them with everything you can get

I got an RFE so I go with #2 :P

Bill

PS One fellow sent so much evidence with his I129F he needed a shipping BOX to send it, and got his NOA2 in 2 weeks.
