Sending items for my fiance to include in I-129F Package

[buffertortoise 0]

Hey all,

I realise that I am probably being extremely ####### about things but I am sending some documents for my American fiance to include in the I-129F package and I want to make sure I have included everything. My fiance will be adding items of her own, obviously the actual I-129F form, cover letter etc and items that must be completed by the US citizen, but she will also be adding additional proof of having met in the past 2 years such as eticket receipts etc.

I have placed all the documents in a folder organised into seperate plastic sleeves, here is a list of what I am sending:

First Sleeve

G-325A (4 original signed copies)

Additional information sheet (4 Original signed and dated copies)

Letter of Intent (2 original signed copies)

Second Sleeve

Copy of photo page of passport

Copies of Student Visa to enter US and Passport Stamp. (I met my fiance whilst on a student visa)

Copy of I-20 to enter US on a student visa

Copies of ID’s, credit cards and debit cards

Copy of birth certificate

2 recent passport photos with my name on the back

Third Sleeve

Copies of letter, itinerary and tickets of planned visit to America in March 2007

Frequent flyer program printout showing all previous trips to the US

Various etickets, showing that I entered and left the United States last year and that we took a trip to another US city together.

Hotel confirmation and email from our trip

Email showing my fiance's travel plans when she came to england last year (she will add the etickets)

Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Sleeves

LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of emails between us (spread across 4 sleeves)

Eighth Sleeve

2 UK cellphone bills showing calls between us

I UK landline bill showing calls between us

1 US cellphone bill calls between us

5 used international phonecards

Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Sleeves

US & UK bank Statements that my fiance will correlate with hers to show that we were in the same places at the same times (spread across 3 sleeves)

Twelfth Sleeve

Copy of a personal letter

Receipt for a package sent to the US for her

Movie ticket stubs from movies seen together

4 birthday & Christmas cards sent to me from my fiance

10 digital photo prints of us together in the US and the UK

THATS IT!

Have I included enough? Do i need more of one certain thing? Or have I missed anything out altogether?

Any information would be wonderful as its a very stressful process and I don't want to be hald up by an RFE!

Thanks everyone!

Remember, the initial filing is where you provide evidence of meeting in the last two years. At the consulate interview you provide evidence of a continuing bona fide relationship.

For the petition, e-mails, phone calls, letters, cards, future trips do not support meeting within the last two years. Keep all of that evidence for your interview. (Sleeves 4,5,6,7 8 & 12 (except photos)

I agree with fwaguy, but I must say I'm glad to see someone else who is as crazily ####### and organized as I am.

Best of luck!

[yassmine2878 1]

I second that! I was pretty ####### about our petition, too. It looks like you've got everything in fine shape. But as mentioned above, save the majority of your evidence for the interview. The petition is just to get your foot in the door. Get 'em with the sledgehammer at the interview. I loaded Ahmed down with piles of evidence for his interview and they barely looked at it!

Best of luck for a speedy approval!

Definately agree with the previous posts, you are submitted TOO MUCH. There is a problem with submitting too much evidence: the essential documentation may not be looked at. Stick with submitting passport stamps, boarding passes/etickets, purchases made while visiting each other (primary evidence), oh yeah and send some pictures, but don't over-do it with the evidence. I know how the process can be, but you need to leave out several things (calling cards, emails, christmas cards, etc.). Remember providing too much, may cause more confusion for the official reviewing your case. Oh yeah, and also use acco fasteners, not all those plastic sleeves.

Thanks for the advice! I think I'm going to send all of this to my fiance anyway and then discuss with her what we should leave out. That way at least she has more to work with than not enough!

I understand what you are all saying though, I don't want to overload them. Would you guys include ANY evidence of an ongoing relationship? Emails, phonebills etc?

Thanks!

I don't have enough experience with this process to say if your submitted evidence is "too much" but there are a couple of things that I would include that you do not and some that I would not .. I was extremely ####### with my submission as well. They are as follows ..

description, location, names, and dates on the back of 3 or 4 photos with your fiancee in the US and the same on the back of 3 or 4 photos with your fiancee in england. Photo's with each others family and others that support your receipts and confirmations would be beneficial in my opinion.

also from what I have read you need to make sure that the birth certificate you send is the correct one on file with the government, not the one from hospital .. probably the one you have already, but I thought I'd mention it

the emails that I would include would be the oldest one, the newest one, those planning trips together, and those discussing marriage. (you could even highlight relevant information to support intentions in my opinion)

If I was you I would send copies of birthday and christmas cards and the envelopes (showing return address and postage stamps) as the originals will be needed at your interview.

if the movie stubs don't have your name on them, they won't help unless you have photos with the date on them of both of you in front of the movie theater

also, unless you have the original receipt for the phone cards and records of who you called with them that will be of no use in my opinion.

I don't know that it is necessary, but I had my letter of intent notarized.

and lastly I don't believe that copies of your ID, credit cards and debit cards will support your case so I wouldn't include them .. but that is just me ..

Good luck and speedy approval ..

Ah ha!! Another fellow ####### person, LOL

We haven't sent ours in yet and I have been stressing about it for the past week, I have a feeling that I am slowly driving my fiance insane Jesus.. If I am this stressed now what the hell am I gonna be like 2 months down the line? A complete basket case!

I have all this stuff to send as evidence (Pretty much the same as the OP! Maybe even slightly more!) to go with the declaration of how we met.. Everyone keeps saying 'Are you sure you have to send so much?' I just don't want to give them any reason to ask for more evidence. I was under the impression that too much is better than not enough.

I am very glad I read this. I am now going to go through it AGAIN and take some stuff out.

Aah my fiance will be so pleased!

When are you guys planning on sending your forms in?

[DA BOMB 1]

My petition was packed full just like yours and was approved no problem - I believe overkill is better than them asking for more. The way I organized it is the key. I simply assembled it as instructed and the evidence of meeting was like a walk through time from start to finish. The tickets of my first trip, the bus passes we used, the phone calls leading up to that first visit, bank statements with withdrawls coinciding with dates during that first trip, etc. it was in a timeline...then on to the second trip then his trip here. I had no RFE's and the Interview was scheduled to have all the original documents of the petition and evidence of correspondance after the filing date of the petition. The more organized you make it for these people the smoother things will go. You sound like you're ready.
