ok thank you

Ok, thank you, questions regarding the G-325a form though, you said wet ink being original, is it ok for me to type the answers in print it and sign it or should i do it all by hand? second, i cannot fit my companies full name and address on one line, what should i do in this case?

ok so i just printed everything off, and started throwing together our package that way when we meet, the only thing we will need to do is include that evidence. This is what iv got.

Cover letter- check

I-129f completed- check

letters of intent- will do those when she arrives here to visit

copy of my birth cirtificate front and back- check

G-325a's for me and her, along with 1 passport photo for her and i attached to respective G-325a's

neither of us were ever married- need anything here?

letter stating how we originally met and our relationship evolved, summary of it, we met playing a video game, talked for several years, last december we started discussing being together and wanting to get married and be together. decided it would be best to meet once she turned 18- currently 17, her birthday in which is in april to meet and file our petition. and have been discussing future plans ever since.

parts of skype calls and whatsapp messages, as well as phone logs which show i call her almost everyday when i get home from work, sometimes several times a day we talk on the phone.

now when she visits, we will have her boarding passes and itineraries as well as hotel receipts and entry stamp, but we will be sending off the package while she is here, iv read sometimes the I-94 is not given to those visiting on the visa waiver program, and can be sought after by contacting the airline for this information? also, if we are sending it off while shes here the portion of the I-129f for the I-94 documents, if we fill that section out, we do not need to wait for her to go home and include an exit stamp correct? idk if the exit stamp is a big deal or not, but it would add time and we are trying to shave off as much time as possible hence wanting to file while shes here.

and then obviously our payment to uscis for our package, any advice or anything i might of missed? just want to double check, to be sure i have everything, as well as anything that might be a good idea to add. Thanks in advance.

ok thank you guys for the answers. I'm sorry for being finicky over this, just really nervous about making a mistake is all.

You might be overthinking it, I'm in a similar situation in that when I was born my name was spelled incorrectly on my birth certificate and my parents had it corrected legally at a later date.

I didn't even realize this until after I got my NOA2 so the other name was never put on my i-129f and when I went to dig out my birth certificate and saw the name was different, I have all the documents to prove the change of name and all my other documents (passport etc) have always been in the correct name. So I'll just add the other name on my online application for the embassy interview and explain it when I go in for my interview. I don't think it's a huge problem, name corrections are fairly common and you are applying in the UK, it's a low fraud embassy and you shouldn't run into any problems.

it wasnt so much an incorrect name, as much as it was her mom has been using it since she got married is all, but it was never legally petitioned to be changed either.

Opinion:

I see no issue with her name. Her application, passport, and birth certificate will match. Where forms say "other names used" you can list it, but I know of no reason you would ever document or prove it. Somebody might have been known as Bubba Smith all his life, but there is no legal paperwork to prove he used Bubba as a nickname or a need to say why.

So maybe she digs out a shot record with the other last name. Chances are she is going to need new shots anyway and any baby records are often useless because you don't need to prove you had all the baby shots. That issue would be between her and Knightsbridge clinic to sort out. The consulate in London will have no issue with what a doctor record might have said. They won't be looking at her medical records. Knightsbridge Clinic will not be looking at her medical records either. They will only look at shots and you could have her clinic provide a new list from old records if she is even at the same practice where her baby shot records are.

I think you are worrying over a non-issue.

Thank you for your answers, and yeah Nich-Nick, I probably am worrying over nothing as usual, but if we put her other last name as other names used, do we have to provide proof of that name then? or is that only if it differs from her passport, birth certificate? She doesnt use that name at all like i said, but when she goes to the doctors, they do use it because her mom started using it after the marriage. I didnt really see an issue with it either when i spoke with her about it, but then afterward i thought, oh wait, what if that other name comes up on a medical document or form? will they want to see proof of reasons for that?

edit due to another answer whilst typing: If it is on medical documents from when she goes to the hospital and such, those are not considered legal documents and it would fall under aliases? I'm sorry that part just confuses me some because, she said there was no name change or anything, her mom just started using it for whatever reason at the doctors. but it would only matter or be a legal name change if they filed to change it and currently went by it correct?

im sorry we are just very nervous about it because we might not be able to get the documents about her mothers marriage, what can we do? do we need to do anything? if we dont will we get denied? sorry but panick mode is sort of kicked in now

Like the reason i ask if we really have to worry about the documents from her mom, is because on the I-129f it says this

13. Proof of Legal Name Change if either the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance is using a name other than that shown on the relevant documents. You must give USCIS copies of the legal documents that made the change, such as a marriage certificate, adoption decree or court order.

so because all her documents match, not a big concern right? and nowhere else like on the london consulates page, does it ever ask for name change documents to my knowledge.

what options do we have if she is unable to get the mothers paperwork to explain? do we have to list all this on the I-129f? I mean, her and her mom havnt really spoken as of late, and may be unable to get the documents from her, i understand about the police certificate, and that makes sense, but since it was never a legal name change, how would it affect us if we didnt have the documents about the marriage? Like say,

we file the I-129f without using the other name because it is not on any of her documents, being passport, boarding passes etc when we show we met and provide our g-325a's.

she applies for the visa, it isnt on her birth certificate, but at the medical exam, some of her paperwork, if not all might have the name on it. so what would they say at that point if or the consulate interview if we were unable to get the documents but seen that name on the medical?

also, will this have any issue with our I 129f package? it says evidence of name change if name differs from any of these documents, which, idk, im very lost with all this.

well she only uses one name. ok i misrepresented my question a bit i think, let me just redo this to be 100 percent clear.

her last name is "kinsey" this is the name she was born with and uses, her mother remarried and happened to use the new name "michaels" on medical documents. her name is still "kinsey" and never was changed formally.

birth cirt, all her documents and passport use "kinsey" and so does our papers when we apply

im sorry but i just want to be 100 percent clear on this. this makes us nervous a bit.

she would end up wanting to keep the "kinsey name" and there is no record of it ever changing to "michaels" other than medical things, she was under 18 when her mom remarried i guess thats important too to know.

So my fiances last name is the one going on all our paperwork and is her birth name, though her parents have used another last name on things for medical, though her name was never really changed, so there is no paperwork associated with a name change nor does she use it herself. Does anyone see any issue with this at all during the process?

So for the I-134 affidavit of support, i have the following question, I reside with family, and me and her would most likely reside here until after the wedding, They do not depend on me in any way shape or form, do i have to include them when considering the guidelines? I would only be responsible for me and my fiance, and we would be moving shortly after everything was settled. Should i hurry up and get my own place?

Did she have her name taken out of the dutch residence register (at the local town hall in the Netherlands) if not they may still want to tax her (you know how we dutch are with money). It does not effect the US visa application in one bit, but there is a slight change the dutch government will try to collect taxes if she did not have herself removed from the list

yes she just went there and did that last week

So she is not working and seeking benefits?

currently, due to some unfortunate circumstances. I am helping her as much as possible, or rather as much as she will allow me.

Something I have never heard of, and have no clue who it could be with?

it is like the wellfare assistance here in the USA, i do not know what you guys would call it in wales.

Something I have never heard of, and have no clue who it could be with?

it is like the social security benefits here in the usa, i do not know what it would be called in wales.

What is a residency meeting?

From what she said it was basically due to her income issues at the current moment, so she can get medical and what not now shes back in the UK.

Yes, as a UK Citizen, she can do her interview at the London consulate.

If she lived in the netherlands for more than one year, just note that she'll need to obtain a police certificate from there (i know you said about ten months but, look over the exact dates to make sure).

it was less than a year, but does her filing for a social security number in the netherlands mean anything relevant in this circumstance?

well, would we still be able to file with the london consulate? and would it be possible for her to get rid of her residency from the netherlands?

my fiance is from the UK, lived there all of her life, but she had moved to the netherlands with her previous boyfriend for about ten months, and had got a social security number there for insurance reasons. she recently moved back to the UK, but now we are confused, she has a national number in the UK as well. She has a residency meeting today, but we are very confused now on what exactly to do.

My hubby then fiance met for a week in New Orleans after talking online for a couple months, we were just friends and by the end of that 7 days together I knew he was the one. I went to the UK to meet his family and spent Valentine's Day together. We didn't have much evidence, just hotel receipts, airplane stubs and stamps in our passports, plus a ton of photos. I feel that if you stay truthful and honest that what you have is genuine that will be the best proof. London is a very easy consulate. Don't stress too much

Thank you for this, This actually seems very similar to what me and her are going through currently which i was hoping to find something like this. We are very genuine and true in intent, but scared that something would happen to prevent us from being allowed to marry. We pray for the chance.

...We met online a few years back, and it was only on christmas we discussed dating and shortly after agreed that we would like to get married and spend our lives together. We are absolutely serious, and provided the chance to marry and bring her to the states, would be the happiest day of our lives. Please, anything that may help us would be greatly appreciated. Also is her being 18 and me being 26 another reason for concern? i have seen things about age differences, but nothing indicating how big or small and how it effects things...

So long as you met in person after she was 18, I don't think you'll have any issues, so long as you can prove the bonafides of your relationship. The only concern I see is, sooner or later your relationship history will be brought up. Assuming you met 3 years ago, a 23 year old adult dating a 15 year old child is a big no-no in almost every state in the USA, online or otherwise.

we were not dating until recent, we been together three months this month. also, how can we provide bonafides for our relationship? we have true intent, we just are unsure of what we can exactly do to prove so.

Ok thank you, i had read both and got very confused. Thus why i asked. Looked into it just in case and they dont do police certificates in the netherlands. Looks like it would have been very difficult for her to get if we needed it. So thankfully we dont.

ok, one more thing then on top of this, she had briefly lived in the netherlands for 10 months last year, i read somewhere else that said if you lived outside of your own country for less than a year police certificate would not be needed at the time of the interview for that country, should we get it for her or are we ok with just her UK police certificate?

I had posted concerns before and everyone was very helpful, I now have a few more concerns after doing more research any help is appreciated, thanks ahead of time.

My last post was about the 129f package, and im pretty sure we have sorted that out iv already started working on it, the only thing im really waiting for is when my girlfriend arrives in may, and we are able to provide proof of our meeting, as well as for her to fill out her documents and write our letters of intent. after reviewing the guide the 129f doesnt seem that difficult to assemble and provide the needed documentation.

my new concerns are regarding the fact that we will only have met once before filing, and it will be from may 6th, till may 17th, will this one meeting be a red flag or a cause of concern to the london consulate when she goes in for her interview? iv seen posts elsewhere of people being denied due to to short of a visit, only meeting once, or because they wernt able to convince the consulate officer of a bonafide relationship. do we have reason to be concerned and what can we do? We met online a few years back, and it was only on christmas we discussed dating and shortly after agreed that we would like to get married and spend our lives together. We are absolutely serious, and provided the chance to marry and bring her to the states, would be the happiest day of our lives. Please, anything that may help us would be greatly appreciated. Also is her being 18 and me being 26 another reason for concern? i have seen things about age differences, but nothing indicating how big or small and how it effects things.
