QUESTION ON FILLING OUT THE I-129F FORM [merged threads x3]

Hi, currently filling out the I129f form, for the address history, our house was sold by my mother and we separated ways, when should be the end date for my previous address? Should it be the date of sale of the house or the actual day we left the house? Plus for my new and current address, it doesn’t match directly to the end date of my previous address since I stayed a while with my parents’ RV truck before moving in to a new apartment. Oh and also within that period I went to visit my gf in her country. So, does it matter that the addresses end date and start date don’t match?

 

For the employment history, I was hired as an intern then later on become full time while still schooling, I’ve been a full time employee for almost two years now but I’m confused as to which date to put as my start date in this employer. Should I put the intern date or when I was really a full time employee? If so, I should put the intern employment on a separate portion? 
 

sorry for the many questions but please help. Thank you so much.

I would put the date that you actually left the house.

A gap, while you were living in RV can likely be ignored. 

A gap while you were travelling abroad shouldn't matter.   Some people live for years with no verifiable address.

 

I would put the start date of the internship.  Just a single record for that employer.
 

Provide the information as accurately as possible, but it doesn't need to be exact dates. Some deviation from actual dates is not unexpected. As long as your timeline is isn't full of deceitful omissions, you should be fine.

Hi, just want to ask about the I-120f form. On page 7, 38.e, asked the passport number of the beneficiary. The question on 38 was "has the beneficiary enter US." I thought I'll just put N/A to all blanks since the beneficiary didnt come to US but i saw a video saying the same case but they filled out the passport number saying that even though the beneficiary didnt enter US, the beneficiary still has a passport number so it shouldn't be N/A. and for the rest of the questions on number 28, they put N/A. should i follow this? please help. Thank you so much

If you fill in part of that section, USCIS could think the whole section applies, yet you omitted some of the information.  That could trigger an RFE.  Thus, I would not fill in any of it as directed by the written instructions.  Good luck on your journey.  Have you considered marriage and a CR-1 visa instead?

NO, WE HAVENT, WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FASTER FOR K1 VISA, AND MY FIANCE CANNOT COME TO THE PHILIPPINES TO MARRY DUE TO HIS WORK, HE CANNOT TAKE TIME OFF AND FINISH ALL THE DOCUMENTS TO MARRY IN THE PHILIPPINES. 

CAN I ASK MORE QUESTIONS? HOW MANY CHAT CONVERSATION SCREENSHOTS SHOULD I PUT? I ALSO PLAN TO PUT VIDEO CALL SCREENSHOTS AND SOME LOVE LETTERS (FROM WHAT I HEARD THEY PUT SOME) AND ALSO SOME REMITTANCES RECEIPTS. ARE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS NECESSARY? WE DONT POST A LOT SINCE WE WANT PRIVACY.

 

ALSO FOR THE TRIP FLIGHT ITINERARIES AND HOTEL BOOKINGS, I HAVE ALL OF OUR TRIPS TWO TRIPS IN 2022 AND ONE TRIP IN 2023. SHOULD I ARRANGE THEM CURRENT TO OLDEST OR OLDEST TO NEWEST? 

HOPE YOU CAN ANSWER. THANK YOU @Crazy Cat

That's too bad as the spousal visa is far superior, but it is what it is.

I would include a few across the entire time frame you have been in an LDR.

Don't worry too much about social media posts.  There are a lot of folks that do not use that much.  As to photos, I would focus more on 6-12 or so of the time you were physically together.  I am not sure I would go with love letters, you can add some of that in the letter each of you need to submit describing the relationship and the intention to get married with a K1.

Sure, putting them chronologically makes sense.  I would put newest to oldest, but the order is not that important.

Thank you so much @Crazy Cat!! Sorry one last thing, his parents are both American but they are currently living the RV life. They don’t have permanent residence but they do stay at my fiancé’s apartment every now and then. In the question 31.a, they asked about the city of residence of his parents, should I just put the same city as to where he lives? So sorry for bothering, thank you so much.

Sounds like that is their home base...so yes.

For the I129f you need only provide evidence of one meeting within the previous two years.  Information regarding other time spent together can be provided at the time of the interview.
