Just to let anyone know who's checking on here about letters of intent to marry......we forgot to send ours with the I-129F and got approved without an RFE!!!! Oh, we also put 'N/A' on the G325A forms in boxes that are meant to say 'none' and that didn't matter either!!

Then the form may be deemed incomplete and an RFE will be sent.

Also, Kirsten UK: you're lucky not to have gotten an RFE. It may have just been an oversight by the adjudicator. I wouldn't suggest submitting an I-129F petition without the letters of intent on purpose.

Wow, I am sure that was a mistake from the adjudicator...but anyway, congrats on your NOA2!

I am sure you will have to bring the letter of intent to the interview though?

I put my father was born in Oklahoma on the G-325a.I just noticed on my birth certificate his place of birth is Arkansas.I Never knew him & didnt think to look the birth certificate before submitting the papers.Will this cause a RFE?

We never received RFE. Our I-129 was approved no problems.

However... does it make sense to send my Fiance into the interview with extra evidence to prevent RFE situation? Such as extra photos and more recent updates in our relationship. This RFE... can it refer to something we could get from not supplying enough evidence at the interview?

Fiance will have interview next week in Seoul. Wish us luck!

An RFE is issued at the USCIS stage of the petition. They are requesting more evidence to help them to decide on your petition. If you're close to interview that means your petition has already been approved.

Applying for the visa is an entirely different process. More evidence of an ongoing relationship helps support a bona-fide relationship so yes, do send her in with documentation of that. If they request something more of you then your approval will be left pending until you give them what they need.

Please familiarize yourself with the GUIDES and FAQ in the links above. You will also want to check out the Embassy info / reviews link to familiarize yourself with the process in Seoul and what might be required that you don't know about. Best to go into it as prepared as possible.

good luck

We just got the info about a RFE, does anybody know if there is a difference between further and initial evidence? Thanks for your response!

[KimandRuss 0]

What did they ask for?

Initial evidence of having met in person within the last two years would be something like passport stamps, boarding passes, itinerary... and photos (although they are secondary). Perhaps they need more proof from you.

Further evidence might be something more they need from you to either prove you are both 'free to marry' or maybe something like a divorce decree proving legal name change for a woman....

It's important to send exactly what they're asking for in the RFE.

good luck

Hello everybody,

I recommend that all of you applying for the k1, to read this instructions on USCIS website, before filling out the I-129 form:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-129Finstr.pdf

My fiancee and I are just starting my visa journey and reading that was really helpful. You can't go wrong if you follow their guide.

Good luck to all of us!

That may be excellent advice for some situations, but not "always". In our case, we went through the whole process without ever sending in the USC's birth certificate at all (we used the passport to provide proof of citizenship).

Oh no. I sent only the "short form" of my birth certificate. Our state does have a long form option but it takes 6 weeks to obtain. And I didn't send copies of my passport pages.

Is it possible to make an addendum to an I-129F that's waiting for review. I already received NOA1 with case number. I wonder if I can "pre-empt" the RFE by sending my passport copies?

Thanks,

3AD

I failed to make a final correction on the I-129F petition. Instead of waiting to see what might happen, I wrote a correction letter explaining the situation, signed the letter, and attached a copy of our NOA1. I have no idea if it had any effect! I was never contacted about it. As a matter of fact, the only thing that has happened is recieving NOA1. Its been 139 days from date of our NOA1, still nothing.....still waiting...and waiting.......and waiting................................and waiting....................
