United States Department of Homeland Security

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

[ADDRESS OF FILING LOCATION]

or when submitting for interview

USCIS
P.O. Box 660151
Dallas, TX 75266

Is this the right address to put in this area?

United States Department of State
United States Consulate,
[name of country where Embassy is located] Ghana
[Embassy Address]

No. 19 Fifth Link Road

Cantonments
Accra, Ghana

Is this the correct way to address my foreign fiance's letter of intent from Ghana? Should this letter of intent be notarized while I'm here? Also should I get supporting Affidavits from my foreign fiance's parents? I know it is not included in the K-1 guidelines, but I have read in several posts that it is a good idea to prevent RFE's and helps support bonafide relationship besides the required, passport stamps, bank receipts, boarding pass & pictures. Ghana is a high fraud embassy that requires front loading the K-1 and extra-care before filing for the I129-F petition.

The addresses you have for the letters of intent (you both need one) are fine and they do not need to be notarized.

Third party affidavits from your foreign fiance's parents would carry little to zero weight; your best evidence is evidence of time spent together in-person.

You can also skip the addresses. The addresses on the example form here on VJ are just a formality and not required in the letters. They just need the simple statements with original signatures.

(Date Here)

I, (USC petitioner’s name), do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry (foreign fiance(e)’s name), and intend to so within 90 days of (his/her) entrance into the US by way of a K-1 visa.
