i-129F? and I am new at this

[gene2 0]

OK I am new here and new to the process. Just a little background. We met in Jan 08 on line, talked as just friends for many months then things grew into more..., I went to china for the month of march 2009 and while there we decided we would like to marry and have her move here to the US. I thought i would just get a lawyer or a visa service but after finding this site and everyone saying NO NO NO. I decided to try this myself...

I have MANY questions but i think i will find most of them in past posts. The one thing I have NOT seen is Does my girlfriend have to fill out the 129F and the 325A and send them to me, OR do i can i just fill them out with her info? I know she will need to do the letter of intent and send me a PassPort style photo. but before she goes through and fills out all 4 copies of that 325A by hand i wanted to make sure if I could do it on the computer.

And if there is ANY other adv someone can give, it would be great. I must say i am a bit overwhelmed by just how involved this all is.

Thanks

Do start with the K-1 Guide. It will walk you through the petition stage of the process. It will do you good to read all of the information in the links above and then search for older posts to find the answers you may need.

The I-129f is for you to fill out. It is your petition to the USCIS which, after adjutication, allows your fiance to apply for the visa with the Consulate in GUZ.

A G325 must be filled out by each of you. Filling out page one will automatically fill in the other three. You can, of course, fill it all out but she will need to sign it. There's actually a uscis memo which states original signatures missing should be excused but we know here on VJ that we've seen RFE's for missing sig's too so I would recommend having her sign all four pages.

You fill out the I129F. You are petitioning for her to come here.

She must fill out the G325A because she must hand sign each page and the letter of intent.

Because you are dealing with China, I would also recommend you visit www.CandleForLove.com if you haven't already.

Thanks for the info. I thought i was the one that filled out the first app but then when i started reading the info on the site i started getting a little information overload and was confusing myself as to WHICH ones needed both sigs and such.

thanks

Follow those guides as KimandRuss suggested and you'll be fine.
