So this past Dec/Jan I spent 3 weeks with my fiancee (at that time she was my girlfriend). During that trip I asked her to marry me (and she said yes).

I returned home to the US and spent a few weeks explaining to her what she needed to fill out (G-325A) and about the letter of intent and all that. So she sent me all the stuff DHL and as I got ready to put the package together an opportunity came up at work. There was now a chance for me to get a 3 year assignment to Thailand!!!!

So I put everything on hold...

It fell through and now I'm putting the package together to send in.

Is it a problem that her G-325A and the letter of intent to marry are dated 5 1/2 months ago?

Should I date my G-325A and the I-129F the same as hers or should I date them with the date I sign them. Should I include a letter explaining this?

Given the cost I don't really want to have her send me all the stuff again besides with the fee going up to $455 I don't want to risk not posting the package b/4 June 30th.

I say just mail it with you signing yours as the same date as hers..

4/23/07 Interview 7:30 YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2/21/2007 She tells me in Yahoo msngr and then in an email that she DOES NOT want to come to USA because of her family who will suffer if she is not there

She said YES!!!!! We are back in the med/interview schedule. After a few months I realized I couldn't live without her. I wooed her back and now she is coming to USA after interview.

7/1/-19/2007 Medical finished for both

Has information changed since they were originally filled out? If yes, then you will have to redo the forms.

I personally wouldn't sign your forms to match her dates, but that's just me.

Jan 27, 2014 NOA received and cheque cashed

Nope... no info has changed. I figure I'll date it when I sign it and also include a letter explaining the delay (maybe avoiding a request for evidence or whatever).

I saw that, considering it is already July, you'd have a problem. :huh:

I would do what you said you were going to do ;)

I wouldn't worry too much about the gap in the dates if the info in the form hasn't changed. I was in the same situation (mine was dated 3 months after my fiancee's). I just got approved last week.

Good luck

Thee_Rak,

This may not help you much, but having dated the statements of intent I understand your concern about the staleness of the date.

My wife and I did not date our statements of intent, just signed them.

Why are you using the regular mail for something that can be scanned and emailed to you ???

intelek,

Maybe because the documents submitted need to have original signatures on them. The odds are that using scanned and e-mailed (effectively photocopied) versions of the original would result in an RFE.
