Hey guys!

The Visa Journey guide says that in the I-129F form packet the only birth certificate required is the Petitioner's (US citizen born in the US). But I have also seen places people saying the Birth Certificate of the Benefitiary should also be submited. So, should we submit borth birth certificates (mine also translated) or just his? I really don't wanna get a RFE

Thank you!! =)

Hey, guys!

My fiance and I are picking pics for the I-129F petition and we have a few questions:

1) Can we print the pics using our printer in normal paper or do they have to be properly developed in photo paper etc? Matte or glossy?

2) What size should the pictures be? 10cm x 15 cm?

3) Can we make a collage (like a mini album) or send them individually?

4) Is 30 too much?

Thank you so much, guys, you've been incredibly helpful

When writing the Letter of Intent, should we address it to the USCIS of Connecticut (where my american fiance lives) or Vermont?? Or anywhere else???

Thank you!

Hey, everyone

My boyfriend and I have met not that long ago (4 months) and I have been visiting him for 1.5 month now and will be returning to my home country in a month from now. He is very helpful with everything but for instance last night he said "Im going to see my friends new house tomorrow, you can come if you want". Back in my home country I have just graduated from Uni and have a bright future ahead. Im only 22 (he's 26) and I have no idea of what to do careerwise. So, In other words, I'm in the USA for these 2.5 months to VISIT him and spend time with him. I spend the whole day home in Downtown Hartford doing nothing (there's not much to do around here) waiting for him to come home, every day. When I confronted him about his choice of words, he went "I just wanted to reinforce the fact that no matter if you wanna come or not, Im going regardless". I always thought that in a relationship that is soon to be a marriage, a couple has to make joint decisions, such as "baby, Im thinking of going to my friends new home tomorrow night, what do you think of that?", instead of just imposing his ideas like that. Am I being too demanding and strict or is that a red flag? One of my biggest fears is to move to another country FOR him and in the future he becoming an ####### with me, and then have kids stuck in the country cause of him too. How do your SO's deal with your presence around? Do they hang out with their friends a lot or the same way they used to before your arrival?? I would like to hear some advice from people who moved here for love too. Thanks everyone !

Thank you so much, guys ! This forum is a not-so-hidden gem haha

Hey, guys!

I'm new here hehe.. anyways, I'm currently in the US visiting my now fiance and we would like to apply for the K-1 visa but we're still not sure if I can be in the US by the time he sends the packet with the I-129F form and all the other evidences to the USCIS. So, can I be here or should we wait until I go back to my country? Thanks!!!

I'm sorry to hear that. I have arrived in the USA recently too, about a month ago, and I'm visiting my boyfriend who lives here. Honestly, at first it was a bit of a shock, sometimes I would wonder if the places was right for me, cause everything seems to be so far out and the suburbs seem so in the middle of nowhere. I would say these things to him and I'm a very transparent person, so even if I didn't say anything, my frustration was clear in my eyes and he could see it. But after some time, I began to accept America better. I know this is the place where the man I love lives and I know it isn't always easy. I miss my mum a lot and while he's away at work I call her and we talk for 30-60 minutes almost everyday so it warms my heart. Maybe if your fiance tries to have his own life here, e.g. do any activity or making friends on his own he will feel better and a little less uncomfortable. My boyfriend has been very patient with me like you. I don't wanna discourage you or anything but if your fiance complains about it ALL the time, you must stand up for yourself and tell him to respect your country and stop complaining and be less narrowminded and at least try. If he loves you, he'll do this "sacrifice".
