What address to use?

[Penti 0]

Hi, Please can you clarify this for me. I'm writing a joint letter of intent for myself and my fiance to sign and sent with the I-129F, but it's not clear to me what address should go on it. The FAQ sample shows:

United States Department of State

United States Consulate, [NAME OF COUNTRY WHERE EMBASSY IS LOCATED]

[EMBASSY ADDRESS]

However the petition will be going to the Texas service center which is neither a consulate or an embassy (is it?).

USCIS Texas Service Center

P.O. Box 850965

Mesquite, TX 75185-0965

The petition is being sent from Florida.

Here is how I have worded the joint letter so far:

We, Crystal *** ******* and Christopher **** *******, do hereby state that we are legally able and willing to marry one another, and intend to do so within 90 days of Christopher’s entry into the United States using the K-1 Visa.

the address you place on it will be the address of the consulate where the interview will take place.

Your wording is good on the LOI. Be sure to have 1 for you signed and dated and 1 for your SO signed and dated.

Your current letter is going to USCIS. As such it should be addressed to USCIS. If and when you need a second letter of intent for your Embassy then you should address it to the Embassy.

You were asked for a "statement". You need no address on the statement; simply your words attesting to your intent to marry is adequate but if you must make it a letter of correspondence then "to whom it may concern" is adequate.

Thanks for your suggestions! Seems like there's a little confusion as to what's required here though. Looks like even if we write a joint letter we should have two letters of intent, or one if we don't address it at all.

Could this be cleared up in the FAQ section for the future?

Chris.

I agree. I should have said if they want to address them theyt should be to who they are writing to, the USCIS, and if they do updated letters of intent for the Embassy they should be addressed to the Embassy should they want to address the letters.

The only reason I was including an address is that I was following the FAQ example off here. I think I'll do what you suggest and use multiple copies with the appropriate address on each.

When my husband and I were doing the whole fiance visa thing, we didn't find VJ until after we filed the initial petition. We included two separate and individually signed statements of intent, addressed "To Whom It May Concern" and that's it.
