Craig... A friend of mine sent me this link he is watching for his date and time. If you know your BGT case number which should be 13 characters beginning with BGT... it may be listed there.

Hi all... I had this posted in the general discussion until someone was kind enough to point me to this forum...

My fiance is from Colombia. I am confused about their names and what to put down as their first name and last name. My fience has a first name and two last names. Her first last name is her fathers last name and her second last name is her mothers last name. It is my understanding that when she comes to America her mothers last name will be dropped. Now her children have two first names and two last names. It is my understanding that there is no middle last name as we know it here in America.

I paid Bob at Colombian Services to complete the papers for my fiance in Bogota and I have received her G-325A from him.

Under the "Family" name section of the I-129F, Bob wrote her fathers last name in capitals and in the same box also wrote her mothers last name in both upper and lower case. When I try to do this on the electronic version of the I-129F, it will only accept capitals.

Do I write both of her last names in capitals or do I leave this section blank and write it in following the same structure that bob used on her G-325A with black ink?

On the I-129F it asks for her childern's names in the format, (Name First/Middle/Last). I can not fit all of their two first names and two last names in this section and I was trying to avoid sending another "attachment document".

What if I simply write in smaller letters their names with black ink?

Do I write (First First/LAST Last)?

Now the visa pictures and "together" pictures...

I may have totally messed up here but would rather ask now that to get something rejected. I wrote on the back of the visa pictures only her Fathers last name in capitals and her first name in upper and lower case. I am now thinking I should have put both of her last names in the format that Bob used on the G-325A. (LAST Last, First).

Can I use white out and re write this?

Should I just draw a line through my mistake and write the correction below it?

Should i have her go take more visa photos and pay fifty bucks to have them shipped to me again?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks, Stateside

I am starting the K-1 process for my novia who lives in Colombia. I downloaded the example of the "Original Statement of intent to marry" but I am confused about how to fill it out. I understand that I need one filled out by me and one filled out by my girlfriend. When this example was created it appears to have been made as an example of both "from me and from her" and I know there will be different information contained on mine verses hers. What parts do I enclude on mine and what parts do I eliminate on mine? What parts do I keep on hers and what parts do I eliminate on hers? I understand that the form was designed for me to replace the words in red with my or her information.

For example...

(petitioner’s / beneficiary’s address)

This is for my info on mine and her info on hers.

(USCIS service center address)

This is for the service center here in Texas where I live, correct? Do I enter the same info for the Texas service center on both?

or when submitting for interview

What goes here? Is this only for her copy or for both?

[name of country where Embassy is located]

I will enter here (Colombia)

[Embassy Address]

I will enter here the address of the US embasy in Colombia here

(date mm-dd-yyyy)

I will enter the date here for when we both sign this document. Is this a time sensative date? Do I have a time limit from this date to mail?

(applicant’s or beneficiary’s name)

My name on mine and her name on hers.

(petitioner’s or beneficiary’s name)

Her name on mine and my name on hers.

The next sentence looks like it should be edited but for some reason it is not red like the other parts that are obviously to be changed.

and intend to do so within 90 days of my arrival into the US using the K-1 visa.

Should the word my remain (my)on hers but be changed to (her) on this line of text?

Any halp from those of you that are past this part, please advise or sned me some examples please.

Best Regards...

I have a Divorce decree from my last divorce. I do not have a copy (lost it) from a divorce from 25 years ago. Will I need this for my K1 visa application for my fiencee?
