Filling in I-129F form

[Klaire 0]

Hey there!

My names Klaire, and I live in London, England and my fiance James lives in Maryland, USA. We have just recently got engaged, and are all ready to set the ball rolling. Our plan is for me to travel the the US where we will marry, and live together.

I've had (what I believe) to be some bad advice, and I was told to just enter the country on a standard ESTA, marry there, and then apply for residence. I was told that this would be the easiest, fastest, and cheapest way to do it, but is not completely lawful... and that leads me to believe that it is NOT infact the easiest, fastest, or cheapest thing to do.

So, we've decided that applying for a K1 visa is the way to do it! So, I'm looking over the I-129f form, and filling in the 'fiance' part, so I can email it to James and he will just have to do his own but, and it has me a little confused.

Q,8 is asking for my U.S SS# and Q.9 asks for my A#

How should I go about filling those two questions? Thanks for your time

Welcome and may you have a smooth immigration journey.

About your questions:

Q,8 is asking for my U.S SS#

---If you never had US Social Security, put N/A or None

Q.9 asks for my A#

You don't have an Alien # yet, so put N/A or None.

**Please make sure to put N/A or None if don't have such information, great example of which were the questions you asked.

You don't have either so the answer is "None". Some of the PDFs have changed and won't take alpha characters, so you'll have to leave it blank in that case.

The use of N/A is more for a question that says something like "if previously married, list..." That would be non-applicable.

Hello Klaire! Welcome, and congratulations on your engagement!

We had the same advice... from a lawer.... We didn't follow it, and decided K1 was the best road to go. And having read a lot of threads about this on VJ, I believe we were (very) right!

For questions regarding forms, we followed every step of this: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

SO usefull. There are examples forms so you know how to fill them, and it list everything you can add in your package, how to send it, label it, etc.

Good luck!

If you have neither, the correct answer for both is "NONE"
