What is needed from Fiance for I-129f?

[PatGia 16]

Hello!

My name is Pat, and I have been reading and learning on here for months. I finally joined this week, and this is my first posting. I apologize in advance if I am asking any questions that have been answered many times, but I would really just like some confirmation on a few things.

My fiance is preparing everything that she needs to send for the I-129f filing, and I would like to verify that this covers everything. She is from the Dominican Republic, in case there is anything in particular about different countries.

She is planning to send:

Completed and signed G-325a

Birth certificate copy

Translation of birth certificate, certified by translator

Fiance letter of intent to marry

Two passport style photos

For the forms and other documents, I have seen some debate as to whether it is best to sign in black or blue ink. Is there a definitive answer on this? Like everyone else at this stage, I feel a sense of panic over missing any minor detail that could generate the dreaded RFE. At this point she is going to send to me one of each document, signed in each black and blue, just in case.

I have read somewhere that we need to submit her birth certificate along with a translation, but combing through the I-129f instructions, I don't see that this is requested. Am I perhaps missing something? Or is this needed for a future step in the process? If a birth certificate is needed, is it ok for her to scan it and then I print a copy? I'm not sure just how picky they might be about documents and their facsimile representations.

On the topic of required documents, do we need to also have a copy of her passport? Again, I've seen reference to it, but not specifically in the I-129f instructions.

For the letter of intent, we are using the basic example found here on Visa Journey, which everyone seems to agree is just fine.

For evidence that we have met in person, the I-129f instructions state that it can include a letter from me and/or my fiance stating the exact dates on which we met. Is it necessary, or helpful, to have a letter from her? I have boarding passes, passport stamp, receipts, pictures, etc., so I'm cautiously confident that we are covered. Any suggestions?

So I think those are my only questions, at the moment, of course. I'd like to say thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time and effort to respond and help us on this first step in our journey.

The birth certificate is really only needed from the US Citizen. It's used to show that you're actually a citizen. That's why the alternative to it is a US passport or a naturalization certificate.

Your evidence is also on point. You have the boarding passes and passport stamps, and along with your secondary evidence you should be good to go. I'd argue you don't need the letter, but I guess with evidence the more the better.

It looks like you have everything you need. Just making sure, are your passport photos 2x2?

Good Morning, Afternoon and Evening,

1. Legal Documents should always be signed in BLACK ink.This is from the Federal Law Stand point.

2. Birth Certificate is need later in the process. Both the translated and certified copy when you get to the NVC are needed.

3. Certificated Copy Passport biographical info page. Also once you reach the NVC stage.

4. All the travel documents, photos, passport,phones records, as mus as you can.

5 Pray, trust in God and the love you share with you future wife and you will be just fine.

Buffum, thanks for the reply.

I was certain that I had read that her birth certificate was needed, but I cannot find where I saw that. I guess we will have it and the translation for any future need.

And yes, the passport type photos will be 2x2.

Thanks again!

A K-1 applicant sends nothing to the NVC.

Thank you for the reponses and information.

One more question that I have on the G-325a, is what do I put in the File Number or Alien registration number boxes? I see the sample form says to type "None", but then I have read many things about only entering "None" where it specifically states to enter "None", like it does ina few places on the G-325a.

Is there a definitive answer on this?

Thanks!!!

Like the example form shows. If they do not have an A#, then it would be 'None' because they do not have one.
