[Osman09 0]

Hello Guys,

I have received below RFE letter, did anyone ever received and what did they do.? can I send scanned intent to marry letter to USCIS or they will require original letter signature.? is the letter of intent to marry only enough or they need all nother things they mentioned below. I don't have wedding plan scheduled because I don't know when she will be here. but we will marry within 90 days once she arrives, please help

below is the RFE letter.

"you must submit evidence that you and the beneficiary intend to marry within 90 days of the beneficiary's entery to the US as k-1 evidence may include, but is not limited to, copies of correspondence between you and the beneficiary discussing wedding plans, evidence that of wedding plans such as announcements, plans made to reserve a venue for the wedding, or any other evidence of your intent to marry one another, including for example, an original statement from the beneficiary establishing his or her intent to marry you within 90 days of his or her admision to the US.

Did you already send a letter of intent with your original package? If not, then it should be enough. Keep in mind you need one for each person and they must have original signatures.

If you already sent that the first time, then they're asking for additional evidence, so simply re-sending the letter will not be enough.

If you each write a letter of intent to marry, signed, that should suffice. I believe the prevailing wisdom around here is that scanned copies do not count--you need a "wet" signature.

I agree with this.

Most of us got by with just the "letter of intent to marry".

You can do this in one letter with both signatures, or separate ones with separate signatures.

But if you did, and you still received RFE...then look at the other evidences they are asking...

""you must submit evidence that you and the beneficiary intend to marry within 90 days of the beneficiary's entery to the US as k-1 evidence may include, but is not limited to, copies of correspondence between you and the beneficiary discussing wedding plans, evidence that of wedding plans such as announcements, plans made to reserve a venue for the wedding, or any other evidence of your intent to marry one another, including for example, an original statement from the beneficiary establishing his or her intent to marry you within 90 days of his or her admision to the US."

I only included one of intent letter from me but I did not include one for the beneficiary. this may be they need one from her since I did not include both.

You need to submit a letter from her also, that is what the problem is. Just send in her letter of intent with her original signature and you should be good.

That's the problem as I stated above.

You can do one letter but need to get both signatures on there...

but it's probably more clear to do separate ones with separate signatures.

Thank You Guys, does it have to be notarized both letters or signature will be enough.?

My wife had her original Letter of Intent notarized by a lawyer just in case there was any issue. Your fiancee might want to do the same, it doesn't hurt and it only costs a little.

As the petitioner, I didn't have my letter notarized.

You do not need to notarize anything.

It is not a requirement.

It is not needed.

We received a RFE for the same issue. We got RFE'd because our wording was not specific in stating we would marry within the 90 days. So we had to both re-write and sign new Intent to Marry and sign. We did not get them notarized, as others have said, its not necessary nor needed. These letters don't need to be fancy declarations of love etc. Just a simple we will get married within 90 days of my XXXX arriving.

No you don't need to notarize it...save few bucks..

[ricnally 258]

Yes make sure to state that you intend to marry within 90 days.

[raven52 233]

As this was missed in the initial filing, I ""would have it notarized for sure"" this should clear up this issue.

Best of luck for you, and I hope this one letter does it for you!

No need to notarize anything unless the instructions so state.

The key to one's success in a do-it-yourself process like this is to read accurately, interpret literally, and answer completely & honestly.
