Don't mail the packet through USPS. Use FedEx or DHL.

Also, the cost of the CFO seminar and the CFO sticker totals Php650.

Yes, your fiancee should definitely bring any original items for the interview. The embassy in Bangkok told us not to send any originals to them in case they are lost in the mail. Just send copies and have your fiancee bring the originals with her to the interview.

originals like what? like his US passport, naturalization certificate? receipts, final divorce decree? & forms requiring his sign??? tnx

In addition to the K-1 visa itself being placed in the Passport, make sure she gets the CFO stamp to leave Manila or whatever her Philippine departure city is. This is a Philippine specific requirement.

Good luck.

what is CFO?

My suggestion is to put her current name in the 129F and her maiden name in the G325A.

ohh thanks so much that';s what we did ^^

is the divorce final? in the divorce decree, did she keep the current last name or did she return to her maiden name?

yes, the divorce is final.. she did keep the current last name though...

ohhh im sorry his exwife is still using his surname.. I-129f is asking for the name of prior spouses. unlike in G325A whick is asking for the MAIDEN name of prior spouses

so for G325A, we should write his/hermaiden name

I-129f just the name she/he is currently using????

Yes.

ohh so we should write her maiden name now that she's abck to beng single right?.. r u divorced like my fiancee?

help! should we write the prior spouses maiden name or not? tnx

Thanks guys! Godbless all of you... ^^

It's up to you. I used FedEx, but a lot of people use USPS.

None is really "more safe" than the other.

Where will you be sending your package?

[/quot

we'll be sending it to CSC ^^

was just wondering if we are required to send our applciations via USPS

hi! we're gonna send our packet this week.. just wanna know if we should it via USPA or FEDEX?? thanks ^^

Not true. Not a very good comment to make.

if our answer to a question is N/A or none? & we gonna write it on the first box/space, should we leAVE the rest of the box/space in that question blank?

In every case, there is one - and ONLY one - original decree of divorce. This is the document which declares the marriage dissolved, and is signed or stamped by the presiding judge. In some states, it will also be signed by the couple and their attorneys. You can't get this document. It is usually kept on file by the court clerk. What you can get is a photocopy of this original document, certified by the court clerk to be a genuine copy of the original document. The court clerk's certification usually consists of a stamp or seal and a signature. You don't need to send the certified copy. You can send a photocopy of this document that you make yourself.

In short, the document you send:

1. Must declare the marriage terminated.

2. Must be signed or stamped by the judge.

3. Must be certified by a court clerk as a genuine copy.

4. Must contain all pages of the document.

5. May be a photocopy of the document described above. USCIS and/or the consulate may ask to see the original.

Either spouse can usually request a certified copy of the divorce decree by sending proof of identity and a small fee to the court clerk's office. The county court website will have contain instructions for requesting a copy.

thanks guys for all the info... appreciate it.. ^^

No, you don't. Just write "unknown". He'll be using his passport as evidence of citizenship and they'll be able to access the information from that.

ohh thanks everyone for the help. maybe we'll just write "unknown"

my fiance filed for divorce to his ex, & a few months later he got a mail, & the letter says "dissolution of marriage: & that the divorce will be final on june 18, 2010 the letter was stamped/signed by the judge i think, after 4 days he received another mail saying that they are free to marry after june 18 & that their civil statis are now back to being single , that letter was signed/stamped by the judge. Now which of the two should he photocopy & include with our 1-129f?

and about g325A, if my answer to a category is N/A or none & i wrote it on the first box, can i leave the rest of the box in that category/question blank? or should i write N/A or none to the rest of the box in that question? thank you very much

my fiance do not know his naturalization certificate number, what should he write on the box that says "give number of certificate, date & place it waas issued" and " if yes, give certificate number, date & place it was issued" or should he just leave it blank coz he already made a photocopy of his passport to prove his citizenship???

tnx.....
