Letters of consent

[SFGigantesFan 0]

Does anyone know if the letters of consent to marry within 90 days need to be notarized? Also does the letter of consent from the parents of the beneficiary need to be notarized as well? I can't remember exactly where I read it, but is it true that if the beneficiary is under 25, that a letter of consent from the parents need to be included into the I-29F packet?

Hi DRafael,

I do not think any of those require notarizations but do not hesitate to contact the USCIS California Service Center to get the official information. I believe what you mean is letter of Intent for K1 visa. This is a letter with original signature for both you and separate letter from your fiancée stating you Intend to marry within 90 days of her arrival in USA.

My fiancée is 21 years old and though not required, I had her parents each prepare letters which were then translated into English and submitted along with the I -129f petition. So if your fiancée is young then I would recommend the letters just to cover all the bases.

My fiancée just passed her US Embassy Interview yesterday and she will be here in California, just up the road from you in Suisun City in early September and we are very happy.

Best of luck, and yes VIsajourney website has many resources to help you at all steps but do not hesitate to contact USCIS directly or before your medical and interview call the US Embassy in Manila and check their website they are extremely helpful

No you don't need letters of consent from parents if you are under 25. My fiance is 22 and I am 23 and we needed nothing like that. Just letters of intent from each other like shown above.

_{The issue of letter is not so much parental consent as it is support which is evidence of a relationship. Also, what DRafael is referring to is in Philippines and other Asian and some Latin countries there is a High Risk for super young brides 16-18 years old. with fiancés 60-80 years old, seriously. In Canada, Europe and USA this is not considered an issue. The letter of parental support would need to be shown at the Interview stage not in the K1 application I 1-29f.}

_{Best of luck to all of you just starting on your journey.}

Thank you! I actually first petitioned last year of October but it got denied because I was missing a document. I decided to visit my fiancee again next month because not be able to see her for another year is too long. I'm hoping the next time I refile will hit the mark. I filed the first time not knowing about this website at all so my packet was missing all sorts of stuff.

Best of luck to you my friend! And congrats!

The consent letter is not a requirement with the I-129F. You won't need the consent letter until CFO time. You don't need a consent letter for USEM either.
