I fly to Chicago tomorrow from the UK and am due to land around 10:30 Chicago time. I will post in the afternoon, if I am successful in getting in (fiance has to go back to work after dropping me at our apartment )

If I am unsuccessful, you probably won't hear from me until Thursday.

Good Luck!

Anyone with experience entering US from Ukraine? My fiance would like to come visit me, and we would like to make sure that she can get her tourist visa. Thanks!

Thank you all for providing your suggestions. I ended up mailing everything as originally discussed, however i organized everything in logical sections using paper clips, and included a cover sheet for each organizational unit. This way if they dont need something, it's easy for them to discard. The reason i wanted to provide extra proof is beaocuse i previously married a Russian citizen, but we were later divorced, and my fiance and I only meet 3 months ago, so i wanted to create an airtight submission that would not bounce back with requests for more info. here is the final order of things as they were shipped out.

- Payment in the amount of $ 340.00

- I-129F

- I-129F Supplement: Part B, Question 18, explanation of meeting in person

- G-325A and passport style photo (Petitioner)

- Judgment of Divorce (Petitioner)

- Copy of Naturalization certificate & US Passport (Petitioner)

- Beneficiary letter, explaining the different styles of spelling her name

- G-325A and passport style photo (Beneficiary)

- Letters certifying intent to marry (Petitioner and Beneficiary)

- Proof of having met in person in the past two years (Initial communication, skype history, airline tickets, travel reservations, photos of Petitioner & Beneficiary together, receipts for gifts exchanged, full resolution receipts)

- Support letters from friends and family

- Proof of ongoing relationship

- Additional Documents ( Beneficiary’s Proof of Identity)

Ok, It's the big moment for us. We are about to make the submission. Triple checked everything. Signatures, dates, certified translations... One thing worries me, is that we have close to 207 pages in the packet. Is that normal? should we cut some away. For example we included a copy of the beneficiary's passport and birth certificate, in a section called "additional documents". We also have a section of full resolution receipts for purchases we've made during our vacation. And call logs, we do not use cell service much, but including 4 months worth of records with just a few highlights seems like an overkill. We did include our Skype call history by extracting all the calls and their duration form the main store. We are obviously new to this. So any knowledgeable advice is welcome. here is our list of contents form the cover letter:

- Payment in the amount of $ 340.00

- I-129F

- I-129F Supplement: Part B, Question 18, explanation of meeting in person

- G-325A and passport style photo (Petitioner)

- Beneficiary letter, explaining the different styles of spelling her name

- G-325A and passport style photo (Beneficiary)

- Copy of Naturalization certificate & US Passport (Petitioner)

- Letters certifying intent to marry (Petitioner and Beneficiary)

- Judgment of Divorce (Petitioner)

- Proof of having met in person in the past two years (joint travel documents, photos of Petitioner & Beneficiary together)

- Proof of ongoing relationship

- Support letters from friends and family

- Full Resolution Receipts

- Additional Documents ( Beneficiary’s Proof of Identity)

Thanks!

List them as best as you can remember. Month and year is all that is needed and you only need to go back 5 years. If you are off a little bit...no problem.

The G-325a is used for these visas to sort out name matches on "bad guy" lists for the most part. It is a reference sheet to sort out one "John Doe" from another "John Doe"

Another question, if i may, while i have your attention. We have over 140 pages worth of skype history. Should we translate it all and attach as proof of a bona fide relationship? How much is enough?

NO

You have no "A" number any longer. You are a citizen. What is in your Russian passport is of no consequence.

Spasibo!

Isn't the A# in the Naturalization papers? My husband's A number is written there. We wrote both his A# and SS# for his G-325.

You guys are totally right! Thanks!

Another question. I am not sure about the dates of employment at various positions i had. Whats the best way to pull that up?

Hello All,

I am new here. I am in process of filling out the g-325 and it's asking me for an File Number (the alien number) I originally immigrated to US about 14 years ago and have an A number in my Russian passport. I've since become a US citizen through naturalization and have a US passport. Should I use my A number in the G-325a?

Thanks for the help.
