I-129F mailing/payment documents

[artist267 0]

Hello,

I have a few questions.

Where does my fiance in the U.S. apply for the I-129F and who does she pay the fee of $340 to and how ?

I heard there are two ways of filling a I-129F one is on paper and the other is online if online do they sent it to you by e-mail ?

After buying the I-129F and filling it in what is the exact address she needs to sent it to ?

Can she do it without a lawyer ?

What documents are included in the I-129F ? and do you pack it up in a envelop or box if that even matters ?

Thank you !

Answers:

• The I-129F is a petition form that is filed, not something that is applied for. The fee can be paid by check or money order made out to "US Department of Homeland Security" and it is included with the petition. More information can be found here: http://www.uscis.gov/i-129f
• Petition can only be filed in paper form.
• The I-129F can be obtained for free, see the link in my first answer. The link also contains the form instructions as to where it should be sent.
• Up to her.
• See form instructions for documents that need to be included. Whatever the file is placed in does not matter.

Your fiancé will send the application and all required evidence to the Dallas Lockbox. From there they will send your application along to the designated service center.

She will pay the fee via check to the designated place listed in the instructions. Clip this to the application. It will be processed from there.

You do not do this online. You must download all the required forms online and complete them, print them out, and send them via mail. All forms are free, the fee is merely to process the application.

Unless there is something unusual about your case there is generally no need for a lawyer. My suggest to the both of you is to read very carefully the guides here. Then head over to the USCIS website. You'll find all the forms and detailed instructions on how to fill them out, how to address the check, and how to send it. http://www.uscis.gov/i-129f

Refer to the guide regarding what documents and forms you'll need to send with your application. Generally you'll want to put everything in order with a coversheet, use paperclips, and send it in a basic postal service packet.

This guide will tell you everything you need to know.
