Passport of Foreign fiancee in 129F package??

[Johnta 0]

I didn't see anything about the foreign finacee's passport/birth-certificate being part of the I-129F package on the Visa journey checklist and so did not send it in with mine---did I miss something???

I have a copy of her passport (photo-page only tho since it is new and there is nothing on any of the other pages) but didn't send it in because I didn't see it on the checklist---is Cass correct? what gives?

who has been entirely too serene since mailing his thingy and needs something to worry about.

I didn't send in a copy of my passport or BC. I did bring my PP & long form BC to the interview. I'm the 'foreigner'.

The instructions that come with the I-129F work quite well.

The foreign fiance's passport comes into play at his/her interview. At the beginning of the process, only the USC has to prove their eligibility to file the I-129 based on their US citizenship.

There's no need for you to include your fiancee's passport and birth certificate in the petition. The consulate will need the passport later in order to issue the visa and they will ask to see the birth certificate for the interview. But during the initial filing stage, if you say your fiancee is from the Ukraine, USCIS believes you. During the first stage, it's more important that YOU prove your US citizen status. Just follow the instructions on the I-129F, include what they ask for, and you'll be fine!

one important thing: i got the letter from embbassy and they want other documents alongwith my orignal passport. what is this about?

[Jaylen Brit 0]

What 'other documents' are you referring to?

They need to see originals of: Bcert (beneficiary plus any K2 kids), mcerts/divorce certs (both), police report, passport, all paperwork pertaining to the petition (airline ticket stubs, receipts etc), emails/photos/letters etc, ring receipts (if you have them)I-134 and accompanying documentation etc etc

Edit to add: All this for INTERVIEW not the initial filing!

thnx for the reply but they asked the documents, you mentioned, to be se t before they gave me any interview date. I am supposed to send the original passports, identity related docs, evidance of relationships, DS-230-P1 but strange the DS-230-P2 is not sent.

Did you attach a passport style photo on her G-325a? I think that is all that is needed as far as "passport" for the beneficiary goes at this time.

Wait. Is your timeline updated? Are you saying you received package 3?´Cus it doesn´t say so in your timeline. If you did get packet 3, you do as the instructions tell you, send back what they ask, and get ready to take to the interview the other papers they ask.

Oh yeah -- also, if the two of you have ever traveled to be together (i.e. met in a third country) and her Ukrainian passport shows her entrace into that country to meet you, you may want to photocopy the first page of her passport (the one with her picture) and the page with the customs stamp on it. But just never send her actual real passport.

i dont know if it is packet 3 or not. The letter says embasy recvd aproved i-129. further documnts needed. docs are folloeing

all passports new+old(didnt ask copies)

alien card from japnse govt>>copies

birth certificate

National ID card

evidance of relationship

secondry evidance for identity

only one part of DS-230-P1 no DS 230- P2 (strange)

nothing abt police certificate thing if needed or not

it is mentiond that documnts should be original or certified. it is mind boggling what it is abt?

[bebop + rocksteady 0]

No, it's not necessary, and I said so in my checklist. I also made a disclaimer before the checklist saying that it was very strict and a lot of the steps were optional. I wouldn't worry about it, and I'd read a little more intensely next time.

Good luck.

crayon,

Include a passport-style photo in the petition package, but recognize that it's an attachment to the petition (as is the G-325A), not an attachment to the G-325A.

THe letter gives you the option of sending certified copies or the originals. Do not send the original passport - she will bring that with her to the interview. Send certified copies and then bring the originals to the interview.
