Letter of Intent to marry - those that have completed your interview

[Hank_ 9,173]

Did you bring a Letter of Intent to marry? Did the CO take it or do you still have it?

If you didn't bring a Letter of Intent to marry did you get a 221g for not having it?

Inquiring minds would like an update

[Hank_ 9,173]

Were still waiting our NOA2 and using RapidVisa services, but from what they told us you should have made an exact copy of the entire package you sent to uscis with your I-129F, including the letter of intent to marry which should have also been included in the package you sent, and you should bring that entire copy of the package sent along with every additional required document to the embassy interview. Its better to have it and not need it, than to not have it and need it then get slapped with a 221g. Put all your documents and papers into a clear plastic bag so they dont think you're smuggling in a bomb. Its also recommended to buy a tabbed folder, then organize your documents in sections placed into the folder, and label the tabs accordingly to make it easy for you and the CO to quickly find any of the documents the CO may ask to see, it makes them happy to see you are serious and organized, and can benefit your interview by them not asking as many questions and just approving because they see you are organized and have all your documents in order.

Waste of paper and FedEx charges.

Follow the embassy instructions letter for what is required... and a copy of the entire I-129F petition package is NOT on there. The embassy has your original petition package. It isn't a bad idea to send a copy of your G-325A to your fiancee as it has information about you, things the embassy might ask about during the interview.

Don't need to use a clear plastic bag for the documents, the embassy does check the bag with the documents

Of course all of this is up to you.

It is good to be organized, makes things easier for the interview.

Toward the end you have given some sound advice. The advice for document retrieval from your folder.

As far as the entire 129f package; it's not needed because everything in your 129f has been scanned into the computer and the CO has access to it. If you follow the Embassy Letter and submit the documents requested therein you should pass without all the "extra baggage" that you had all ready submitted.

Follow the embassy instructions letter for what is required...

Nothing is "required" in the "Evidence of a Genuine Relationship" section.

[Hank_ 9,173]

Notice the word MUST? Definition of MUST = verb 1. be obliged to; should (expressing necessity).

From the 1st page of the embassy instructions letter:

You must bring the following documentation when you come to the Embassy for your interview:

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS. You must submit ALL ORIGINAL civil documents to facilitate your application. You may be asked to return for another appointment if you fail to bring any of these documents:

(from here on down is the LIST - Evidence of Genuine Relationship is on the list)

Your cherry picking doesn't work. While "Evidence of a Genuine Relationship" is a "must," there are no requirements in that section, only suggestions: "In the past, successful applicants have submitted..."

And you continue to ignore the part about "letters...as evidence supporting their relationship and intent to marry."

Speaking of cherry picking and context.

Here is the actual sentence from the instruction letter, not cherry picked for wording to suit your rant.

" In the past, successful applicants have submitted photographs, letters, e-mails, phone records, bank records, and remittance records as evidence supporting their relationships and intent to marry."

You know remember what a letter is that they are referring to? Back in the day when a person wrote a letter to another person, stuffed it in an envelope and MAILED it.... that is the letter they are referring to... not your rantings.

There you go again...making up things from your imagination...and definitely not supported by any of those "facts" that you cherish so much.

By the way, it hasn't gone unnoticed that you completely ignored my point about "requirements" as opposed to "suggestions." I guess you are conceding that point. That would be a smart thing to do since evidence of a genuine relationship is a subjective issue, and that's why that section is worded as such.

How do you know this?

[Hank_ 9,173]

Jeez!

Predictable and predicted!

Was not asked for nothing was asked for from us as there as well. They asked how we met our ages . And she said congratulations your approved.

I did notice 3 girls who are licensed care givers were denied by three different counselors. You could here the. Counselors say they now what happens when a caregiver is brought over that it is more for employment.

Did you bring a Letter of Intent to marry? Did the CO take it or do you still have it?

If you didn't bring a Letter of Intent to marry did you get a 221g for not having it?

Inquiring minds would like an update

I hear that one from time to time, man in poor health marrying a Filipina to take care of them. Curious what causes the red flag with the CO in those cases.

Many with nursing degrees come to the USA.

"Evidence of a genuine relationship" is required. However, nothing in that section is specifically required.

It's a mystery to me why you think that if something isn't "required" that it won't help someone show evidence of a genuine relationship.
