Hello. My foreign fiance and I are getting ready to send off our i-129 packet soon. I was hoping to list what we all have here in hopes that if I missed something, someone would catch it. If you would'nt mind taking a glance at what we have, it'd be very much appreciated. We chose not to go through a lawyer.

-Cover letter

-Fiance' letter of intent from petitioner

-Fiance' letter of intent from foreign fiance'

-I-129F form

-A Question 34.a addendum

-G325A form from petitioner

-Passport photo for petitioner taken within the 30 day limit

-Passport photo for foreign fiance' taken within the 30 day limit

-Copy of petitioner's United States birth certificate

-Brief cover letter infront of 4 pages of whatsapp communication (the first 2 pages and the last 2-there were 1224 pages of text in all)

-Copy's of boarding passes and travel itineraries

Make your check out to US Department of Homeland Security. (Not US Dept of Immigration)

Any divorces, annulments or deaths you'll need include your official documents.

If you guys have sent each others greeting cards, flowers, gifts, mail etc...make copies of the receipts, cards, envelopes and sent them as well...I sent all that and my petition was approved yesterday. Here is a link if you don't mind you can check the way i sent my package...

I wrote wrong about the check. I actually did write the check out correctly :)

I thought only the petitioner needed the birth certificate for this part of the process..

There were no divorces or name changes. Thank you for all your help!


my petition was approved yesterday.

Congratulations! :)

You are correct, for this stage you do not need the Beneficiaries birth certificate. That will come later when you are ready for your consulate interview.

The beneficiary birth certificate is now required at this stage of the petition. My fiance sent me one and I decided to include it in the petition though it is not required. I even sent a copy that show she is free to marry as well...Am not saying you are required to send them, but I did. It did not hurt sending them.
