Thank you so much for clearing that up for me. I was going crazy trying to make a whole new package. It was hard enough doing it the first time.

This helps a ton, and answers all my questions.

Thank you.

I just sent in our I-129F and one of the last steps on the guide is to make 2 copies, one to keep and one to send to the fiancee.

I am wondering if it is sufficient for her to bring a copy which is just photocopies of all the pages of the package to the interview.

What I was actually doing was printing out all the forms, again, and putting fresh signatures on them so the papers she brings to the interview will have valid signatures on them, and not just be photocopies of the originally signed documents that were sent in.

Am I wasting my time doing this?

Can I just give her the photocopied version?

I think I read that she will need original photographs, at least. I made 2 prints of each photo so I can send her those.

My full name (the way it is written on my birth certificate) has a suffix of "JR"

There is no place on the I-129 (or the G-325A) specifically for a suffix.

Should I put the suffix in the Family name box after my family name?

I got the copy of the final disposition for the trespassing case, today. (Final dispositions for my other charges are pending)

It consists of the initial ticket the police officer issued.

On the ticket there are areas that the judge further filled out at the trial including:

- My plea of guilty

- The judge's finding of guilty

- That I waived my right to an attorney

- The fine I was sentenced with.

The initial ticket lists:

- The law I violated

- My personal information

- The place and date of the incident

The two things I think I might need that aren't included here would be:

- A description of the circumstances of the situation (I don't know if any record of this exists)

- Proof that I paid the fine (I believe I can procure this)

Is a description of the circumstances to be expected? Is this something I should make an effort to find?

I'm obtaining the final dispositions of my cases from the courthouse. I was just called today to be notified that they're ready, I will have to wait until Monday to pick them up. I believe the final disposition will only state my being found guilty and what my sentence was.

I don't know, until I see it, if it will say anything about my having completed the sentences.

I doubt that it will have information about the circumstances of the cases, but again I won't really know until I see it.

I imagine that I will need to find other paperwork for this, which I believe will be rather difficult. When I went to the courthouse and asked for the paperwork they said "Oh you want the final dispositions?" and I said "Yes, but I also want all other paperwork pertaining to the case." and I was told there wouldn't be any paperwork for the cases besides the final dispositions. This may not be accurate, I don't really know, but I'm worried that it will be difficult, or impossible, to obtain papers explaining the circumstances of my charges.

Perhaps a police arrest record?

I am preparing to file an I-129F for a K1 visa for my fiance.

I have 3 questions about part C question 2.

I have been convicted of:

- possession of marijuana

- trespassing

and

- a second possession of marijuana charge and a DUI at the same time (2 separate charges, though)

I have already acquired my criminal record from the local police department which lists all of these charges.

The criminal record states on it that this record only lists crimes from the city of my residence, and that crimes outside this city will only show up in a statewide, or nationwide criminal record (The nationwide record coming from the FBI)

1. Will the city wide record be sufficient, as it lists all of the crimes I have ever been charged with (I was convicted of all of them) or should I obtain a criminal record from the FBI that will confirm that these crimes are the only crimes I have been charged with in the entirety of the United States?

I am waiting on obtaining copies of the final dispositions of these cases from the court.

2. Will I also need to provide records of my having completed the sentences the court gave me?

- Receipts of fines being paid?

- Records of my completing the Rehab program?

- Record of my satisfactorily meeting the probation requirements?

Also I am unsure if I should try to obtain paperwork for the time I spent in jail.

I was sentenced to one weekend in Jail (2 days), and I also spent a night in jail when I was initially arrested for the DUI.

3. Is paperwork documenting the time I spent in jail relevant, and necessary?
