I-129F final checklist

[wildllama 0]

Finally, I'm about ready to file my I-129F. Here is what I have, please let me know if I've missed anything.

-I-129F

-G-325A - 4 signed copies of each from me and my fiancee

-2" x 2" passport photos attached to the G-325A

-My birthcertificate

-Letters certifying intent to marry

-Letter signed by translator certifying the accuracy of the included Japanese documents

-additional attachment to question 18B - proof of having met in person in the last 2 years.

-Primary evidence: Passport stamps, boarding passes, ID and bills showing that we share an apartment

-Photos

OK, now I have a couple questions. I'm paying by Money Order and there is an area for an address. I filled in the Pay to: Department of Homeland Security and left the address blank. Should I write in the address fot the NSC where I'm sending the packet or leave it blank? Also, when copying our passports to show exit/entry stamps, I didn't copy every page. My fiancees passport has 32 blank pages and it semed ridiculous to copy them. Do you think that will cause a problem.

I would appreciate any last minute tips if you have any.

Did you include a cover letter? Also, if you have attached an additional page in answer to question 18B, make sure you've signed and dated it.

I see you got everything ready... I would like to suggest that you add the beneficiary's birth certificate since in some cases they received RFE for it but if you don't have it and you're so ready to mail the package, maybe it's ok without it. I'm not sure about the money order though since we used personal check but maybe you can write NSC's address in that missing field? I'm sure others can give you more details about this one...

Good luck with your journey!

Thanks. I have the cover letter and signed 18B but didn't date it. Thanks for the tip.

I was under the impression that they didn't need the beneficiary's birth certificate at this point. Can you actually get an RFE for that?

This is the first time I read anything about the beneficiaries' birth certificate being included. Is it really necessary???

Not a required document per the instructions but there has been an occasional RFE for some unknown reason (maybe a name hit of some sort).

Yes, the pictures are all tied in with the primary evidence. For example, I refer to our matching entry/exit stamps from our vacation to Vietnam and then also reference photo 1 which is labeled "Halong Bay, Vietnam, August 2005" I figure the photos are stronger evidence if matched with primary evidence.

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to be really careful because I'm going to Nepal in 2 weeks and will be gone for 2 months and unable to respond to any RFE's until late May.
