Getting Ready to Send I-129F Packet please review..

[KansasDragon 1]

Here's a list of the documents I'm sending, tell me if I'm missing anything, please:

1. Check for $170.00

2. Cover Letter (Will be finished, after I make sure there's no changes to list below)

3. I-129F - Filled out completely, signed.

4. Statement of "How we met" attached as continuation of question 18 of I-129F,

5. Letters of Intent from both of us. (Her is a printed scanned image, she has the original, will we need the original before her embassy interview? Grrrr, can't believe I didn't have her do that when I was there.)

6. Proof of meeting, and ongoing relationship: Pictures from January 2007, February 2006 of us together in Philippines. Boarding passes for my flights, and for our flights within the Philippines. Hotel receipts. Ferry boarding passes. A few specially selected emails printed, spanning our two years. Vonage activity report showing over 2000 phonecalls between our phones. Engagement ring receipt. Receipts from flowers and gifts sent to her over the last 2 years. (Should that cover it?)

7. My G-325A (dated and signed)

8. Passport Photo of me, being taken tomorrow.

9. Her G-325A (dated and signed) plus attached page showing her complete addresses, since the addresses would not fit in the little boxes.

10. Her passport photos. (Thank god we did this when I was there.)

11. Copy of my Birth Certificate, front and back, even though the back is blank. Will probably copy my passport also, rather be safe than sorry.

12. My Divorce decree from previous marriage. Certified.

Did I get everything? I'd rather waste a couple days now finding and getting everyting, rather than delays later. Ann is busy reviewing the documents, making sure everything looks good, too.

Dang, I'm getting excited to start waiting...At least the process is rolling..

Thank you,

Barry

Looks like you covered everything, Barry. Good luck

[tonyeck 0]

Sounds great

Goodluck... It's exciting to be this close isn't it?

[heishe 2]

Maybe a copy of the letter of intent will do, maybe not. Also you might be asked to provide a copy of your marriage certificate.

[brnidokiegurl 1]

I just sent copy of old divorce papers, not the marriage lic. i think at interview you might want to make new letters of intent. but for the beginning sounds good for you with what you have.

[azcactus 0]

KD that looks good. The onlything I added that I do not see is my fiancee's and her dauhter's Birth Certificates. I had people tell me to include it.

Good luck and let the waiting begin. Also send certified signature required.

Good Luck to you. Look forward to reading your timeline as you go through the process with us.

5. Letters of Intent from both of us. (Her is a printed scanned image, she has the original, will we need the original before her embassy interview? Grrrr, can't believe I didn't have her do that when I was there.)

Needs to be signed by her doesn't it?,,,, in ink.

[David-and-Mae 15]

Looks good to me... As for the letter of intent, you might want her to send you the original, with her signature and a copy of her birth certificate (NSO security paper). In any case that they'll ask for it, you got everything ready. It's better be safe than sorry, right?

1. Check for $170.00

Not to sound stupid, but make sure you sign it! I've read about people getting their packet returned because their check wasn't signed.

4. Statement of "How we met" attached as continuation of question 18 of I-129F

If you want us to proofread it feel free to post it. I had the VJers here proofread mine, and also a letter I have to include for my fiance's interview. There's some good editors here!

Yup - original is needed there.

6. Proof of meeting, and ongoing relationship: Pictures from January 2007, February 2006 of us together in Philippines. Boarding passes for my flights, and for our flights within the Philippines. Hotel receipts. Ferry boarding passes. A few specially selected emails printed, spanning our two years. Vonage activity report showing over 2000 phonecalls between our phones. Engagement ring receipt. Receipts from flowers and gifts sent to her over the last 2 years. (Should that cover it?)

Proof of ongoing relationship isn't needed at this stage, it's needed at the interview. You can send the Vonage, e-mails, and flower/gift reciepts if it makes you feel better, but it's not required now.

Can you make photocopies/scans of your passports to show your passport stamps? Did you ever use a credit card/debit card/ATM while in the Philippines? (If you did you could use your transaction history as proof as it would place you in her country.) On the back of the pictures write both of your full names and, if you can remember, the date and location of the photo.

8. Passport Photo of me, being taken tomorrow./10. Her passport photos.

Make sure you write your full names on the back of each photo.

9. Her G-325A (dated and signed) plus attached page showing her complete addresses, since the addresses would not fit in the little boxes.

Are the attachments signed and dated by her? How many copies of the attachment do you have - 1 or 4?

Oh, and make sure you make a copy of the ENTIRE packet before you mail it off.

[SoL. 0]

Looks pretty good to me! The only thing is that you need the original letter of intent signed by her and 4 of the G-325A if you only have one.

Wish you good luck!

[rebex05 1]

Good luck and looks like you have everything.

[KansasDragon 1]

Thanks for all the advice.

Luckily Annie had already put the letter of intent in the mail, and I received it, so should be sending the packet off tomorrow. She printed two copies, signed both, mailed one, and kept the other.

4 Copies of the Attachment for the G-325A, YIKES, I'm glad I asked. I was only sending 1. These attachments are signed by me, with a note on them explaining that I'm expanding the addresses to full length, since she abbreviated them like she does filling out forms in the Philippines.

My hardest chore this week was finding a stupid Acco Fastener. The office supply store closes before I get off of work, and Walmart, Dillons, and the convenience stores didn't have any. Luckily one of my co-workers ran to the office supply store for me, and picked up a box.
