questions: form expiration date? how-we-met examples?

[bogartnoir 1]

hello everyone! i'm getting ready to send out the the I-129F package on monday (finally)!

but i'm confused about a couple of things. i'm hoping you can help me!

firstly, i've been sleeping on filling out the declaration of how we met because i'm not entirely certain what information they need. we met online 9 years ago and more or less for the last 3 years we see eachother every 2 months (although we met 4 times about 8 years ago). confusing? :\ i'm hoping it won't be for the people who read our petition! would anyone be so kind as to show me an example of what they wrote?

secondly, we've been filling out our forms piecemeal. not the greatest thing to go about things, i know, but we like to be together when we fill forms out and some information (old addresses) had to be found. i just realized that some of the forms have different dates on them from when we filled them out. one from 4 months ago, one from 2 weeks ago for example. is this going to make a difference? will they send our forms back for inconsistency? should i just go over them in pen and give them a consistent date?

also, does anyone know if any new forms have come out in the last 6 months? what i mean by that is- they always tell you to check back at the gov site periodically as forms expire? does anyone know the last time that has happened out of curiosity? i just want everything to be right!

thank you so much!

USCIS is not looking for your entire love story. They are just looking for an instance in the past 2 years when you met. You could say that you "met online in ____ but most recently we met in ____ for a period of ______ because ______ ". Then you could add any evidence you had of being in the same place.

In our case I just put the date we met, why we were in the same place at the same time and who introduced us. Then I included boarding passes and bus ticket stubs showing I was in his city. 5 lines, short and sweet.

secondly, we've been filling out our forms piecemeal. not the greatest thing to go about things, i know, but we like to be together when we fill forms out and some information (old addresses) had to be found. i just realized that some of the forms have different dates on them from when we filled them out. one from 4 months ago, one from 2 weeks ago for example. is this going to make a difference? will they send our forms back for inconsistency? should i just go over them in pen and give them a consistent date?

I don't think it should be a problem. When we filled out our forms, the ones I sent him had different dates from the ones I had filled out. We didn't have any problems.If you want to change the dates to be consistent I would not go over them in pen, I would just fill out a new form. But that's just me.

also, does anyone know if any new forms have come out in the last 6 months? what i mean by that is- they always tell you to check back at the gov site periodically as forms expire? does anyone know the last time that has happened out of curiosity? i just want everything to be right!

Check here ----> USCIS Immigration Forms

Next to each form you will find links to the latest version of the form and what versions are still accepted.

thank you so much!
