ALL Forms that are required for the K1 Submission??

[Greg & Mary 1]

Hi, everyone.  I love all of the information on this site, and really appreciate the fact that it exists!  

 

I am confused as to what is required for my K1 Submission Packet?  I know that I need to provide the I-129F Form, as well as supporting documents (Explanation of my divorce, including copy of the decree, pictures of my fiancée and I together, intent to marry, etc.).  My question is, are there any OTHER forms that are required?  I know about the DS-230 Form, I-134 and G-325.  Should we complete any of these to be included in the K1 Package that I will be sending off to Texas? 

 

Also, for my divorce, may I make a copy of just the first page (that shows the effective date of the divorce), or do I have to copy ALL of the pages?

 

Thanks in advance for any information you good folks can provide to me.  I just want to try to do whatever I can, to ensure that my fiancée can receive her K1 Visa as soon as possible, hopefully with no RFE's..

 

Thanks again,

Greg Dodd

G 325 is obsolete. the only form you will send with the K1 packet is the I 129f

 

you need prior marriage and divorce certificates/decrees- all pages (no explanation needed - they dont care why you are divorced) - for both petitioner and beneficiary

proof of citizenship

intent to marry letters from both of you, signed

proof of meeting within the past 2 years; statement of how/when you met the first time (despite what many do, it does not have to be a long detailed 'oh how i love my fiance so much they are the most wonderful person ever' letter. just describe how you met initially and the circumstances of your first in person meeting)

evidence of ongoing relationship

 

thats basically all that is REQUIRED off the top of my head. The guides have more details and its possible i overlooked something (im just working off memory)

 

youll also want to print and sign the form for electronic notifications so they can email you when they receive/ check in your packet

The evidence of an ongoing relationship isn't required in the initial filing, but can help with the embassy interview stage later by letting the CO see them beforehand.

 

An I-134 (plus supporting evidences) and DS-160 will be needed later. They are not sent with the I-129F.

 

Payment is required, passport-style photos are required, and a cover letter is highly suggested.

Probably worth noting is that the guide is out of date regarding payment, and you can use form G-1450 to pay by credit card.
