filling out the i-129

[ronnielee67 2]

is it ok to print by hand in blue or black ink? or, should it really be typed? in regards to question 18. should i just tell them of how we met for the first time in person this past september? or , do they want to know the whole story about how we met online in january? does it all go together in an attachment? also, when i was in moscow, ilyana signed and dated her g-325a and letter of intent. so, the dates on some of our papers will differ from about a month. is that ok? the photo i have for her g-325a, will they want some kind of proof that it was taken less than 30 days from filing? i'm not cut out for this kind of work. i appreciate any help

Handwritten and legible is OK.

You can describe how you initially made contact and reference when you were together, it is important that they understand the actual face to face meeting was within the preious 2 years. Your description does not have to be long and extremely detailed but sufficient to give them an idea of the circumstances.

The different dates of her signing the g-325a are OK

Other than a date on the photo itself I am not sure how it can be proved. I would not worry about it.

ronnielee67,

Computer typed and printed is preferred. If not possible, black ink.

Line 18: Describe the circumstances of how you first met, on a separate sheet of paper. Reference the form and line number on the separate sheet and sign it. They are interested in how you first met. If you choose to go beyond that, up to you.

Re: the forms - We are only talking a month here. Be sure the information contained within is current and accurate.

The photo is supposed to have been take within the last 30 days. No proof required.

As far as the g-325a photo, Just date it for the date that fits! I have not seen anyone get an RFE because of the photo date.

Use a Sharpie Black felt pen. Helps to list names of people on the photos too! That means you and your Fiancee and if possible, one of her family members! This is always good! Of course, One of her family members should be in the picture! Ha Ha:)))

LuvLife,

What "g-325a photo"? It's I-129f that asks for a photo.

First, if you're not up to doing all this paperwork - and lots of people aren't - find someone to help you, like an attorney, maybe a good friend. If you make mistakes, it may cost you time later. When I filled out all the forms, I checked and double-checked every dot and tittle - my forms and Evelyns. Paperwork is certainly not what I'm good at, but I was just terrified of making a mistake that might cause a delay, esp on such an important thing as our future. Evelyn was the same way. I love her hand-writing, but she thinks it is not as legible as it could be. So she had her good friend, who had very good English hand-writing fill in the forms. Now if I could just get USCIS to actually send our stuff to the VSC like they said they did A MONTH AGO !!!!!

It's because the guides are still not fixed....

One passport-type photo (see note) of the US Citizen. Write the full name of the US citizen on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert US Citizen's Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a.

Yup, I got mixed up on that one, too.

As far as handwritten versus typed, for the USCIS level, neat handwriting will be fine. However, you might want to check with your embassy for later on down the line. I know Montreal is requiring that DS-156 be completed online as to generate a barcode.
