Then you will get an RFE (request for information). In the meanyime, read the guides that you can find here about the K1 process so you know exactly what documents you will need to send (those you didn't send). Start gathering them and wait for the RFE. Once you receive that send the requested files right away.

hi vieljune.

im starting to process our k1 visa too..

they ask me to send

g325A

4pcs. 2x2 US passport size

letter of intent to marry - they even ask me to notarized it

photocopy of my birthcertificate - i send the original though.

LBC is the cheapest based on my search.

i paid 2095php to guam.

my letter of intent is notarized and i sent the original copy so they have additional pay .

according to LBC those types of documents have commercial value.

i sent it on saturday and they say i should start counting by monday which they might receive 3-5 business days.

You only need ONE signed G-325A form, ONE signed letter of intent, and ONE 2x2 passport photo. Nothing needs notarized.

Your birth certificate is also not needed. You will need the NSO birth certificate when you have your visa interview.

Then you will get an RFE (request for information). In the meanyime, read the guides that you can find here about the K1 process so you know exactly what documents you will need to send (those you didn't send). Start gathering them and wait for the RFE. Once you receive that send the requested files right away.

No she won't get an RFE. She sent everything to her fiancé that she needed to: G-325A, letter of intent, and passport photo.

The foreign fiance(e) is not required to send a copy of their birth certificate with the I-129F petition. You sent what was needed from you, 1 passport photo, letter of intent and G-325A.

They will not get an RFE for something that is not required. If you read the guide and I-129F instructions, you will see the foreign fiance(e) is not required to provide a copy of their birth certificate. They need their birth certificate later when they apply for the actual K-1 visa at the consulate.

A letter takes three weeks for us to send. I sent her the link to print out the G325A form and she filled it out, scanned it and emailed it to me. I then printed it and sent it with my I-129F application. It was just approved today.

Standard advice tends to be that all forms (and the letter of intent) need to be originals with a "wet" signature - you were very lucky to have been approved based on a scanned G-325A.

My friend who has just been issued her K1 Visa last week also just had her G325A scanned. I guess it's best to do what's advisable :)

Thank you so much everyone for answering all my questions and for all the feedback you've given in this thread :) God bless us all!
