So ive heard about RFE-s about the wedding plans or etc in the letter of intent.

 

Will it hurt if we write a bit more than the usual intent?

 

Like:

 

"Dear Sir or Madam:

 

I, ..., do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry ...., and intend to do so within 90 days of my arrival into the US using the K-1 visa.

 

We plan our wedding after my arrival to the US in a courthouse, with closest family members, and after that we want a wedding ceremony with friends and family. Detailed wedding plans are attached to the petition with our text messages.

 

 

Yours truly,"

 

And my fiancé will use the exact same, except "90 days of HER arrival"

Not sure how much that will help as they want to see evidences of your wedding plans

Generally, a letter of intent is all that is needed.   I think your example serves the purpose well....Good Luck.

They dont want to see wedding plans. They want to know both parties KNOW they need to get married and are planning to do so. The letter of intent is short, sweet to the point. Not a wedding planner book. most people dont have a big wedding anyways. they have a small ceremony at the courthouse or somewhere (we got married in our home xmas eve last year), and many have a larger celebration later on, when they have had time to plan and pay for it (we had our party wedding in july).

@debbiedoo, her question was how to avoid a possible 221g related to wedding plan  & the answer to that is showing them proof of wedding plans. We received 221 g to show more  wedding plan evidence  even when the letter of intent clearly stated our intention to marry within 90 days. So my answer was just to clarify that adding the wedding plans to the letter of intent may not help unless she can show them some wedding plans discussed & done

Yes i was thinking about this! So i refer in the intent to the plans as i told in my post, and attach some discussions between us, and one page wedding plan with exact place we were talking about, and guest list, etc
