I`m pretty sure for low fraud countries like yours and mine, that is just fine. I didn`t include a package receipt but I did include a few chat logs. Did not include the affidavit of support etc either I have read that is something we`ll have to bring to the interview. I`m not sure if people from high fraud countries have to include all of that for the i-129f though, but yours sounds fine to me.

All we have included was:

- payment of 340 dollars

-G-1145

- I-129F

- Attachment to I-129F (explanation of meeting in person)

-Both our G-325A`s

- Both our passport style photo`s

-Petitioner`s Birth certificate and all pages of his US passport

- Both our letters of intent to marry

- Proof of having met in person (photo`s, passport stamps, boarding passes, and a few receipts to link our photo`s with)

- Proof of ongoing relationship ( skype call duration screenshots, some texts when we were at the airport looking for each other, and some whatsapp screenshots from the past months)

I believe that is plenty :)

When did you guys send it in? Did you get your NOA1 already? We sent ours yesterday, June 9th! Good luck!

AOS is not necessary but we have added to our file just in case...I have the original AOS in hand for later to present at the embassy stage. My country is not a high fraud country as far as I know. It's just because me&my fiance cannot afford any delays if we receive any RFEs, so we've sent everything beforehand that we could think of they may ask later if they weren't somehow convinced.

Seems like we've started the process on the same day! Good luck!!

Hi guys I am planning to send out my fiance's visa this coming Friday I am trying to understand, if I send my visa packet to the Texas site like the us government website says will it be redirected to the California site now? Or Do I need to go back and change everything listed for the Texas one to california? So excited to finally be sending this out! Thanks for the information in advance.

Hi there, someone knows if the petioner can come lives in the fiance's country during the processing time? I heard you that yes it's possible, but what about when he gonna received the NOA2 approbation by mail? Can he put his mother mail adress? Thank you!

Hi Sonia&Justin,

Living together shouldn't be a problem--I currently live outside of the US with my fiancee. For my address, I put my actual address that I share with her. Is there a reason he wouldn't be able to do the same?

I've heard that DVDs aren't allowed so they may return that to you. You definitely front loaded your petition though! You even sent things that weren't needed till the interview, I'm just as over prepared too lol. I saw that your fiancé is active duty military, mine is as well. Good luck!!

Never heard that DVDs weren't allowed but whatever, we've already provided lots of things to prove our relationship is bona fide. Like I said before, we've chosen to be overly prepared rather than being sorry later :)

Question : Does anyone know if there are any plus sides of being active duty? I mean security clearance,etc...There's a hotline number for military service members on USCIS website. We've called them but they seemed to be very unfamiliar to the process so couldn't get any healthy information.

Another question: My fiance is currently stationed in Utah and sent our petition from there. But, soon, he'll be moving to Syracuse, NY. He'll change our address online later... Since the current address is in Utah, our petition is to be directed to TSC supposedly. But, I've heard that all applications were being forwarded to CSC recently due to the fact that TSC is overloaded.

NY applications must be forwarded to VSC.

My question is... What will happen to our file when we change the address from UT to NY? Will it still be processed at CSC or forwarded to VSC?

Hope someone can answer...

Good luck all!

Hi Jen,

I can't speak to the military service, but it seems that all petitions are currently going to CSC, regardless of home address. I doubt that you would get transferred just because you moved.

Hey, good luck on sending yours out! we sent ours out on Tuesday :)

the lockbox in Texas is an address everyone regardless of where the case goes, sends their package to. From there they will decide where the packages go.

Currently all packages seem to still be sent to CSC but regardless, you should still send your package to Texas. That is not the address of the service center, it`s just the address of the instance that sends the packages to the right service centers :)

Good luck!!
