Help: where do I send in my paperworks for k1?

[Chivee 0]

Hey all! I may have stupid questions:

1. Where should I send in my files(just started)? Local immigration office - Denver, Co OR California or Vermont or any other center as listed by the official site? Does it make it slower if I send to local office?

2. I see two ways of starting: send ONLY I129f and G325a and intent letter, once approved, send passport photos birth certificate etc as instructed.

The second way is send

Payment as required by USCIS. Use a personal check so you can track the payment. Money Orders are also accepted. Read the Guide to Paying USCIS Immigration Fees.

2. Cover Letter (see example). Should include a description of what your are petitioning for (I-129F), a table of contents (list everything in the packet). If you need additional room to explain your case, attach a separate sheet (list the attachment on the cover sheet). Make sure to sign and date the cover sheet.

3. Form I-129F: Petition for Alien Fiance(e) (see example)

4. Declaration of how you met in person in the last two years. This should be a single typed page attachment regarding question '34.a' of the I-129F. Make sure to sign and date it.

5. Original statements (from both the US Citizen and foreign fiance) certifying an intent to marry within 90 days of entering the US on a valid K-1. (see example)

6. Proof of having met in past two years. (click here for examples)

7. G-325A filled out by the US Citizen with their information, signed and dated (see example).

8. One passport-type photo (see specification) of the US Citizen. Write the full name of the US citizen on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert US Citizen's Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a.

9. G-325A filled out by the foreign fiance(e) with their information, signed and dated (see example).

10. One passport-type photo (see specification) of the foreign fiance(e). Write the full name of the foreign fiance(e) on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of (insert foreign fiance(e) name) ". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a.

11. Copy of the Birth certificate (front and back) for the US Citizen or a copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport issued with a validity of at least 5 years or a copy of the US Citizen's naturalization certificate (front and back). This is used to establish citizenship.

12. Copy of final Divorce Decree(s) or Certificate(s) for the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance(e) if either has been previously married. If the previous marriage of the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance(e) ended due to the death of their spouse then include a Copy of Death Certificate(s) documenting that fact.

13. Proof of Legal Name Change if either the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance(e) is using a name other than that shown on the relevant documents. You must give USCIS copies of the legal documents that made the change, such as a marriage certificate, adoption decree or court order.

14. In regards to Section C Question 2, if applicable provide certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for any specified conviction(s) (in accordance with the IMBRA). See section 9 of the I-129f instructions for more information.

Altogether and then wait??

I think some info might be old and the ways to do it have changed so please help!!

You mail it where it instructs you to > http://www.uscis.gov/i-129f

You follow the form instructions(also found on the link above) and include everything it asks for. The guide here lists everything that is required, and neither the form instructions or the VJ guide are outdated.

Take an hour and read through some of the key information links here.

After you read it, come back with more specific questions.

Before you worry about where to send your I-129F,

take little bit of time to get it right the first time.

Be very very thorough in learning what is all required to be sent

and double and triple check everything before you send.

The consequence of submitting incorrect or insufficient information

can severely delay your processing...which is already way too long in my opinion.
