Proof of Having Met and Questions Regarding form I-129F/NOA2

[poia 0]

Hello. I have a couple of questions. I'm currently in the USA spending christmas with my fiancee. We would like to get started and send the I-129F form. Can we send it althought I'm still in the US (i'll leave in 3 weeks)?
Also I read the form requires a proof of having met and ongoing relationship. What should i send? every single airplane ticket? copy of my passport stamps? pictures? what else? movie theater tickets? how many of these things? what about the declaration? what should we write? do these things go all in the same package or should we separate them somehow?
have the tickets/pictures ecc need to be originals or we can just send them the copies?
Should we make copies of all of these for NOA2? Do all the documents of the foreign fiance need to be in english?
So to recap... we need form i-129f and g-325a, then we're gonna wait till noa2, then we need to send i-134 and then we wait for the medical/interview?

Sorry to be so annoying, just wanting to do things right. Thank to all of you who will respond.

Welcome to the forum.

easily accessible at the top of the forum page. In particular, the K1 Visa Guide and the K1 Flowchart.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Your questions show that you do not have a full understanding of the requirements (because you mention some things but not all) and what folks normally do.

As mentioned Read the Guides, Follow the Example Forms, read the sticky notes and look at other threads where the OP asks VJ to look over their submittals and make comments.

Hi sablely,

The I-94 is the Arrival / Departure Record, in either paper or electronic format, issued by a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer to foreign visitors entering the United States. After April 30, 2013, most Arrival/Departure records will be created electronically upon arrival. Instead of a paper form, the visitor will be provided with an annotated stamp in the foreign passport. If provided a paper form, the admitting CBP Officer generally attaches the I-94 to the visitor's passport and stamps the departure date on the form.

If you are employed as a babysitter (meaning you get a salary) then yes, it is considered self-employment. If you earn more than US$400 at babysitting, you are considered to be self-employed as far as the IRS is concerned, for all income earned in that business.

You are the beneficiary, it will be the petitioner (the USC) that will submitting the 129f petition and other documents.

every single airplane ticket? copy of my passport stamps? pictures? what else? movie theater tickets? how many of these things?

Only need to document one meeting in person. Passport stamps are best but all that other stuff you listed helps.

what about the declaration? what should we write?

Two sentences. We met online and met in person on these DATES in this CITY. Depending on your country and Embassy, you may want to front load the petition with more information about your relationship. Look at other threads for examples.

do these things go all in the same package or should we separate them somehow?

Same package.

have the tickets/pictures ecc need to be originals or we can just send them the copies?

Should we make copies of all of these for NOA2?

Copies except those forms and letter that require an original signature.

Do all the documents of the foreign fiance need to be in english?

Depends on the Embassy, but yes they should be, or translated.

So to recap... we need form i-129f and g-325a,

Nope you need a lot more. You've stated you've read the guides so you should know the list.

then we're gonna wait till noa2, then we need to send i-134 and then we wait for the medical/interview?

Nope, read the guides and the flow chart.

You , the beneficiary , do not need to provide any income documentation. Only the U.S. sponsor has to provide proof of income. You both need to provide a letter of your intent to marry , it must be original with wet signatures. No photo copies or electronic letters of intent. I-94 you print while you are here in the U.S.

https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/request.html

You want one paragraph on how you met. You want photos of the two of you and perhaps friends and family together to show the time in person, we sent photo copies with text descriptions of dates and times. Photo copies of the I-94, plane tickets, any hotel receipts etc that would have your names on them.

You should also take the original photos back to your home country for the embassy interview. Also, another set of letters addressed to that embassy with continued intent to marry. If you can, get the last three years of income taxes for the U.S. citizen and bring those back with you.

It would be a good idea to look onto your embassy website and see if you can see what they will require for the actual k-1 interview.

I sent my then fiance back after a visit with most of the documents she would need for the embassy interview. It saved time and money for mailing .

What country are you from, what state does the U.S. citizen live ?
