I need some advice regarding a "Initial Evidence Request" for my petition for alien fiance. Immigration is asking for evidence regarding our "Intent to Marry". The letter says we "must express (our) intent to marry each other within 90 days after the arrival of (of my fiance)". Per the instructions of the petition on I-129F, it says:
"Provide original statements from you and your fiance whom you plan to marry within 90 days of his or her admission, and copies of any evidence you wish to submit to establish your mutal intent ... "
My fiance and I provided original statments of our intent to marry. So I'm confused on what else immigration wants. When I called the customer service number on uscis.gov yesterday, the guy I was talking to recommended that I fill out a marriage license. Unfortunately, here in Alaska, both the bride and the groom need to be present to fill out the license and be sworn under oath before signing.
I called uscis.gov this morning to see if I could confirm the answer I got yesterday. This time, the lady I talked to at uscis recommended that my fiance and I re-write the letters of intent, but this time have them notarized. I mentioned to the person this morning the answer I got yesterday from uscis, and this person said "your best course of action is to get the letters notarized".
I'm seeking the help of anyone who has received an "initial evidence request" regarding the "intent to marry" and what they provided to prove their intent. Apparently, it is more than just providing original statements ...
