Good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you may be. My fiance and I are filling out the G325-a form that is required for the I129-f form. We do not have a case number yet since this is the first thing we file. Should we just put none in the box? Also, for alien registration number, what do we put there? Just want to make sure everything is filled out perfectly.

Thanks for your help.

there is a sample form located under the 'example forms' tab here on this website that i found really useful

I just came back from Japan and I am ready to send the 129F packet. For Documentary Proof of Having Met in Person in the Past Two Years and an Ongoing Relationship I have collection of photo sheets that contains 46 photos of us both in the US and Japan in various locations during the previous two years.

However, if they punch holes on top of the photo sheets it’s going to be somewhat cumbersome as the holes will go into the pictures and the pages. Now I'm just thinking of going with a plastic bag.

I know I probably should just send the application and not worry about pedantic stuff like this but I was just curious what the consensus here was. Thanks!

Since all our photos are digital, we pasted 2 photos per page in a word document with a descriptions underneath. We only put about 15 pictures and even then I thought that may be too many The advice I was given here was to use enough to get your point across ie, you have met/been together in the past 2 years - the rest can be bought to the interview.

Anyway, primary evidence such as passport stamps and boarding passes are more solid evidence

good luck

We sent ours off on the 30th Sept. Last day of the fiscal year I believe - not sure if this is a good or bad thing! Such a relief when it's sealed and sent! Now for the extremely quick wait here's hoping!

Ha, thanks! I guess I'm just nervous about making sure everything is right...

I was exactly the same this time last week.

It really shouldn't have been as stressful and difficult as I made it out to be. Visa Journey is a fantastic resource!

All the best! x

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting, but I've read a bunch of really helpful info already and am very grateful for this site and for anybody's input! My fiance is English, and for the boxes labeled "Citizenship/Nationality", should he type in "British" or "United Kingdom"? Similarly, in the 129F application, under his "State/Country" box, do I just type in "England/UK"? Finally, when the form asks for "country of citizenship", do I type in "England", "United Kingdom", or "Great Britain"? Maybe it doesn't even matter too much how I format it exactly, but would just like to do everything to the letter. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I would put

Citizenship/Nationality: British (says this in passport)

Country: England

Country of Citizenship: England

I am a Brit by birth so I'm not just a random Aussie trying to sabotage you haha.

In all honesty, I don't think it matters a great deal

Good luck!

Australia isn't a high-fraud country. You'll definitely be fine with what you've included. You don't need the emails and letters. You can bring them with you to the interview but in all likelihood you won't need them there either.

Best of luck!

Thanks Congrats on your engagement!

Just finishing off our packet but are wondering is it really important we include emails/letters as I've read this is only secondary evidence. I don't even think I've ever sent him a snail mail letter, after all it is 2010

We have included travel itineraries where our names are both included, passport stamps/visas of entering each others countries. Don't have boarding passes as they are almost always collected as I board my flights.

We also have included a bunch of photos which we printed as a word document with descriptions of who/when/where they were taken.

I cannot access skype records since they only go back 6 months and phone records would be useless as we used phone cards and mostly video skyped.

Can someone please reassure me that this is enough for the first stage of the application. I'm thinking less is more, but when it comes to USCIS I'm not so sure.

Thanks in advance!

theres plenty of work in the area im interested in. but getting the employment authoriseation could be tricky. what do they class as primary evidence?

To my understanding primary evidence are things such as passport stamps, boarding passes, receipts of purchases you have made for example of an engagement ring.

I will be including copies of my past visas to the U.S & stamps, itineraries and photos.

hope this helps

Me too! Hoping to file our I-129F by the end of the week Hope all goes smoothly! Good luck

30 pictures is too much, 6-10 pictures are enough I think.

I met my fiancé on Facebook as well, playing Uno, I got approved last July, 2010, didn't seem a problem at all. (The C.O was interested in hearing actually)

Philippines isn't a high fraud country, specially that both you and your fiancé are Filipinos.

Good luck on the rest of your journey!

I was recently in the Philippines with my American fiance and was casually told by an officer at the US Embassy in Manila that the Philippines is a high fraud country. Doesn't matter that your fiance is Filipino - he is still a US Citizen like everyone else who is petitioning someone.

Just thought I'd share

Just be aware that Sydney consulate are quite strict on certain things.The police report has to be done from hwere you have lived in the last 5 years if i remember correctly. But hey 2 would not hurt. trust me the more info you have for them the better. Am not sure of the passport issue hopeing someone else can advise you on that one. Good luck

Thanks for your input

I decided to just apply using 'Australian' as my citizenship since I am applying here in Oz.

The last I lived in the UK was when I was a teen so I'm guessing I won't have a problem with the police check.

Fabulous. Thanks so much Penguin

Hi!

I reside in Australia and am a citizen but was born in the UK. I have both Aussie and British passports. All my prior US VISA's which have included J-1's and my B1/B2 are in my British passport (because it was cheaper . Would there be a problem with me using my British passport for my K1? I will attending my interview in Australia. If I use my British passport does that mean I will need police clearance from the UK also?

Or would you recommend I just apply on my Aussie passport?

Reading about this K1 stuff has made me super paranoid and super analytical about everything.

Thanks for the help VJ has been amazing!
