Welcome to VJ ozone! Best of luck in your journey! You must have met your fiance at least once in the last two years...common question! Some people think it means have you known them for two years, but no...just have you met them at least once in person in the previous two years.

Your American fiancee starts the ball rolling by sending in an I-129f petition form along with all of the requested attachments and additional documents that are listed to the Texas Service Center (that is the service center that is responsible for Florida applications.)

Hello, Thank you for your help

I do have another question.

We've checked on the USCIS website and they state the service center for the Florida location is Vermont. Here is the link that I have found to the direct filing addresses for the I-129F's.

Here is the link

Which one would be the correct bureau location considering she lives in Florida?

Thank you in advance for your help

Hello

Thank you for your help everyone.

In the letter of intent, they ask about the embassy address, if the fiance is filling out the letter, should the embassy information listed be the one that he/she will be going to for the interview? If the US citizen is filling out the letter which embassy should they be placing on the form?

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Your letter and your fiance's letter should be addressed to the same consulate -- the one that the interview will take place. Depending on where the Canadian lives, it is either Montreal or Vancouver consulates. Since you live in Montreal, it will be the Montreal consulate.

Thank You for your responses to all my questions.

I do have another question: On the I-129F question 10 states "My citizenship was acquired through", my fiancee was born abroad in Germany of a Citizen of the United States of America and does have a form FS-240, but under the answer of Parents there are two other questions that we are unsure about the first one is "Have you obtained a certificate of citizenship in your name?" Which all she has is her birth certificate and the form FS-240 and the second question is "If "Yes," give certificate number, date and place it was issued". Any advice on these two questions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You in advance for all your assistance.

You'd probably get a better response by asking this question, separately, in the K-1 forum.

Hello everyone

Just an update :

We finally received the NOA2 from the Vermont service center (approx 4 months later) and our petition (I-129F) has been APPROVED, they will now forward the petition to the Montreal consulate for the next step

We will post status of the next step soon

Thanks again to everyone who helped us in this journey

Congrats. We are in a similar part of the process. Montreal received my packet 3 today... it feels like I'm on the final stretch... we'll go through the final stretch together!

Hi

I do have a question for the next steps

I need to get my birth certificate (which is in french) translated and certified in English, I am located in Montreal. Does anyone know where I can have it done ?

If not, is there any requirements set by the united states government (IE. must be done by an USA authorized translator etc.)

Thanks a lot

Regards
