My partner has started filling out the Petition for Alien Fiancé (Form I-129F), and we have a few questions about the process. We're unsure about which additional documents need to be completed and what supporting materials she needs to include with the petition. If anyone has experience with this and can offer some guidance, we would really appreciate the help!

Mine hasn't been approved yet so I cannot promise that this is correct but....

I took both of our photos (from digital camera, modern cell phone camera works), used passport photo guidance to determine where to crop, and placed 3 each of mine and hers in a grid, then ordered a 6x4 photo print from the pharmacy.  Cost: about 20 cents   Then use a paper cutter to separate them neatly.

See here for the official sizing and cropping instructions: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos/photo-composition-template.html

If you want to use the Post Office, USPS, it goes to the Dallas address.

If you want to use Fedex, UPS, or DHL, it goes to the Lewisville address.
