Examples of Cover & Intent to Marry Letters???

[rwenstrom 0]

Like us all I want to avoid any RFEs so any suggestions about using the short examples given for the Cover Letter & Intent to Marry Letter?

Has anyone actually used those examples for the I-129F package? I just feel like it isn't very much, but it is very short & straight to the point & maybe that's what the embassy wants. I don't know.

any thoughts?

We used them - essentially the way you see it there.

Take a read through the links in my signature. The adjuticators don't want to sift through lbs of paperwork to find what they need to see, striaght to the point and well organized is always a good thing.

I included another letter stating how me and my fiance met, and just about our future plans etc.. I heard its a good idea as it shows your sincerety in the relationship. I know pictures say 1000 words as well. It's up to you if you just want to include the intent to marry. Actually, I don't fear RFE's anymore because if you get one just in a manner of weeks you are approved. At least you hear from them.

where's your signature?

second of all: I just looked out my local office(saint paul) & service center(nebraska). Just to clarify, I use my St. Paul location for interview needs, but as far as sending my I129F package I would send that to Nebraska? Are any of the service centers faster than others? haha JUST WONDERING!

well the letter of how we met, plans, pictures, etc is all part of the massive package I'll be sending!!!! Good point about the RFEs, but we're hoping to complete this process & have his visa before March 13, so I fear delays, but definitely trust in God's control & timing :-)

I'd like to add to your question actually.

I think the format is good, but my fiancée

sent me her letter and it was addressed

as follows:

[she left out her address]

"To the United States Government"

[she left out the date]

(body text of letter)

The letter that I prepared followed the example as follows:

[My address]

USCIS

Vermont Service Center

Attn: I-129F

75 Lower Welden Street

St. Albans, VT 05479-0001

08/10/2009

Dear Sir or Madam:

I, [My name], do hereby state that I am legally ready, willing and able to marry [Her name] and intend to do so within 90 days of her arrival into the US using a nonimmigrant K-1 visa.

So basically her letter was missing her address,

the full address of the service center and the date.

Should I ask her to make a more complete one before I send in the I-129F?

I think it wouldn't hurt.

Also, if she prepares another letter, can she send me a SCANNED copy with her signature on it,

instead of a copy sent by snail mail, as she did with the first one?

:help:

I used them exactly verbatim. Changed names and dates only. No problems.

you might want to post a forum so more people address the issue, but I think it depends on who is petitioning. If you are the one petitioning it should be your information: address & yes I would recommend have the service center address & date. If you do have her signature, I believe everything needs to have ORIGINAL signatures, so it would have to be snail mail. double check & if i'm wrong please someone correct me!

If you are filing a K1 then for interview purposes you would use her local office. Not yours. You have to submit to either the Vermont or California Service Center depending on where you live. I'm thinking Minnesota goes to Vermont but I've been wrong before.

Someone posted recently a USCIS memo that stated that the G325A did not have to be signed by the benficiary for the USCIS stage of the visa. However expecting all USCIS employees to care about that memo is a whole other can of worms altogether.

I'd have to see that to believe it...

Found it, that took longer than I thought.
