After the NOA2 is received, can the 2nd 'Letters of Intent', for the beneficiary to take to interview, just be the same as the first one included in I-129F packet with new dates and signatures or should the wording be different? Thanks for any feedback!

Updated letters are only asked for by a few consulates... Is Casa one of them?

YMMV

Not sure to be honest, I am jsut trying to get things prepared in advance and I see this is one of the things on the checklist here on VJ to send to beneficiary after NOA2.

Quoted below:

"What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.

7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now)."

Thanks, but my question still is if the wording needs to be different from the first one we sent in the I-129F packet or if we just need to update the dates to current dates and just sign them again. I would rather he have the letters in hand in case they ask for them anyway.

We sued exactly the same letter, changed the date.

That is true. Kiev is not one, we didn't need it. I was covering all the bases and it took maybe 30 seconds to produce.

Sure the guides here are "generally speaking" or an attempt to cover as many possibilities as there can be... The consulates have there own process, procedures and requirements. The vary widely..... and I mean widely.... So what is needed or done in London is not the same as M oscow, Sydney or Ciudad Juarez. You need to learn Casa's practices to make sure you are 100% ready for there requirements

It won't hurt to have. Can be the same just with a new date and original signature.
