Don't try to understand all the various phases up front. It's too much and towards the end it depends on the particular embassy and your situation anyway. For the filing the I-129F, carefully reading through the instructions as there are some important requirements given there that don't show up on the form. Use websites like this one to answer questions and speed things up once you understand the process, but start with the official instructions and the form itself at first. There will be a lot of waiting ahead, and it will be much less stress during that time if you go over everything carefully before you submit.

i have been searching and looking everywhere on steps to concerning the I-129F petition, i found so much info that I'm overwhelmed now, i need the steps and all the documents needed for the filling of the package by order, thank you very much.

Here is the direct link to the forum. Just scroll down to find the K-1 process. It should be one of the first 2 or 3.  https://www.visajourney.com/guides/

 

We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

Dude, you literally got directed to the two main sources for instructions on how to fill out the I-129F.  Your job is now to read and attempt to understand.

 

Alienating people who try to help you doesn't bode well for your visa journey.

don't get overwhelmed by the I-129 F. Don't think its so hard and delay... if your sure you love this woman do it asap.. when your done you will wish you had not seen it as such a big obstacle.  Remember its a stupid US Government form so its a bit confusing even if English is your native language, sometimes the space provided is to small and you can write smaller or use the part 8 pages.

Basically fill out the form. Not much financial info is required until her interview in 5 months or so .

5 year work and living history for both of you.

Parents info for both of you.  

Children listed if under 18

copies of Divorce decrees 

just need to show proof you met for 1 time in last 2 years.  

2x2" Passport style photos of each of you. Name and date  printed  on back

Copy of you passport and or Birth certificate.

Check for 535$

each of you write a letter of intent to marry each other... examples letters can be found on this site.  She can sign and scan and email to you.
