Question about filling out I-129f form

[Brice7489 0]

hello everyone,

I am new to the site, and in the process of filling out the 129f form for K1 visa.

It seems that the form has been updated, and a lot of the line by line tutorials do not match the new form.

couple questions

I have 2 residences 1 in Cancun Mexico where me and my fiancé live, and 1 in Montana where we will live part time.

When filling out the form I don't know what address to use, my USA address or my Mexico address. I am thinking my USA address and explain dual residence on the cover letter.

2nd: question 3.a fiances mailing address, should I enter our address in Cancun/ we don't really have mail service in Mexico, we may or may not receive mail that has been sent and can be weeks if not month if we actually receive the items sent. I could do in care of my name to the Montana address and bring anything sent to my fiancé to Cancun.

3rd under the section Part 3 the wording is a little confusing it says 1: if you are servingin the Armed forces overseas fill out the following:

I presently reside or am stationed overseas and my current mailing address is:

1:a Street number name.......

I am not in the armed forces but the way its worded it sounds like its asking 2 questions do I reside outside the USA, am I in the armed forces.

Do I fill out this address with my Mexico address? or is this section solely for armed forces personel?

Thanks for any help

Be careful how you do this as ocne she gets the visa, she is expected to spend the majority of her time inside the USA....

What do you mean you'll live 'part time' in Montana? She will be expected to live FULL TIME in the US.

Failure to do so may result in her green card being revoked

good luck

Thanks for the responses so far

not really answered my questions, but as for our living situation, we travel a lot so roughly we spend 2 weeks in Mexico each month and 2 weeks elsewhere.

nothing much Is going to change with our travel plans.

So does anyone know if I should fill out section 3...im not military but I do have a residence outside the USA.

Section 3 says "IF you are serving..."

You are not serving

good luck

Use the US address to make sure you receive the mail. There will important documents, such as the NOA2 approval notice for the I-129F that is required for AOS and will list the foreign fiance(e)'s A#(which will be needed for all immigration forms starting with AOS). You will also need to receive mail in a timely manner in case you receive an RFE. They have time limits on when the documentation must be sent back to them.

Down the line after AOS and she has her green card, you will want to make sure she maintains her permanent residency.

You state nothing will change with your travel plans for living half a month in Mexico, but when she enters the US with a K-1 visa, she will not be able to travel outside the US and re-enter without first filing for AOS and receiving AP or her green card. It takes about 3 months to receive AP after filing.

If you want her to be able to travel back and forth right away, why not just skip the K-1, get married and apply for a CR-1 spousal visa instead?

Thank you,

I will use the US Address

I meant to say we will spend 2 weeks a month in the USA on average sometimes more sometimes less.

We will maintain a residence in the USA but we also have residence in Mexico and travel extensively.

I realize for the first 3 months or so we will have to stay in the USA.

I have thought about doing spousal Visa there's just as many hoops to jump through in Mexico to get married there. I will check into it more before we submit the paperwork.

Thanks again
