I think I have everything...

[frenzyheart 2]

Alright. I've had some pretty astonishing nightmares the last few nights, as I'm planning to send off my big ol' bundle of papers, pictures, and photocopies this Friday. I've always thought that a second or third (or in this case, an entire forum)'s opinion is best, so I come to you now to make sure I'm not forgetting anything. You all have been so helpful to everyone else, and of course I've read the guides, but you never know.

Anyhow, here it goes.

- Cover Letter, Signed & Dated (I know this isn't required, but I like organization...)

- I-129F, Signed & Dated

- Letter of Intent, Signed & Dated (Petitioner)

- Letter of Intent, Signed & Dated (Beneficiary)

- G-325A (x4), Signed & Dated (Petitioner)

- G-325A (x4), Signed & Dated (Beneficiary)

- Passport Photo, Full name on back (Petitioner)

- Passport Photo, Full name on back (Beneficiary)

- Supplemental for Question 18, Signed & Dated

- Proof of Citizenship - Birth Certificate Photocopy

- Proof of Citizenship - Passport Photocopy - Every. Single. Page. (the reason I'm sending this as well is because I no longer have the birth certificate -- this photocopy was a previous photocopy that I had made for my Canadian Student Visa application - because I made like 10 of them for some odd reason... and the passport copy also includes my Student Visa paper --AND the stamp-- which is still stapled inside of my passport)

Evidence was all stated as being included when I wrote the Supplemental for Question 18... and includes:

- Proof of Meeting/Relationship - Photos (x8, all labeled with names and locations, with dates ranging from 2006-Present)

- Proof of Meeting/Relationship - Canadian Student Visa approval letter (since I lived with him during that time)

- Proof of Meeting/Relationship - Acceptance letter from Canadian College (goes along with the approval letter)

- Proof of Meeting/Relationship - Letter of Support from his dad (since he's still living with his parents, they offered to support me during my schooling)

- Proof of Meeting/Relationship - Plane ticket stubs from his various flights (he drove down here mostly, though..) as well as the emailed itinerary from my first bus trip to see him back in 2006

- Proof of Meeting/Relationship - Engagement Ring receipt (despite the fact that it's starting to fade.. oy.)

I do believe that's everything. Not a whole lot to prove up a relationship (besides the pictures and the receipt) at this point, but I plan to send all of the pictures, as well as the cards we've given each other, and maybe a few written and notarized statements from family/friends, since we really don't have anything else. We tried getting past phone bills, but we couldn't, and neither one of us thought to save chat logs from MSN or whatever, so I'm hoping that they'll be okay with what we have. Guess I can't really worry about that right now... (although I will be.... )

Either way, I'm worried I forgot something, despite checking a million times myself, and that's why I've come to you all. (maybe if only for re-assurance....I don't know.. lol)

Thank you so much for taking time to read this!

It sounds great -- you're submitting a lot of proof of meeting and you've made sure to include 4 pages of the G-325A form instead of the one (like my fiance and I, doy!) ... it sounds great!

Here's to a speedy approval

I do see one thing from your list that you are missing >>>>>>THE CHECK !!!

Also I assume your supplemental to Q18 ties all your proof together? I say this only because just because you have a place ticket stub to visit does not of itself indicate that you two were together. I assume between your Q18 story, your documentation of visitation and your photos, all is understandable. Good luck.

Tiffaney, do you have photocopies of Matt's passport & birth certificate?

Others may argue if they are required, but they may be good to add if you don't have already.

Your preparation looks good; I'm sure you won't forget the check ($455).

I sent in 2 photos with the G-325A and 2 copies of that; sending 4 won't hurt you.

I was told by the USCIS helpline that 2 G-325A forms would be OK but since

hearing other opinions on VJ (thanks Gary) I would err on the side of sending more.

Big thumbs up for filling in your timeline in advance! :thumbs: :thumbs:

I have the check! Actually, my mom has the check, so I don't lose it! That's why I spaced putting it on the list, lol! I, unfortunately, don't have copies of his passport/birth certificate, but then again, I never saw that they were required. As far as the G-325A goes, I have 4 pages for each of us, like the old one used to do (but it's the new form).

I feel like I'm going to pull my hair out right now...lol

They will see his passport at the interview so you should be good to go.

If anyone else thinks the passport copy is required they should speak up.

I thought it would be good for proof of meeting (his visits to you).

Ah, his passport doesn't have any stamps or anything from his visits to me, because he's only stayed like a week here or there. In fact, the longest he's spent here was a month, and that was just last month. They've never really done anything at the border (driving or flying) for either of us, other than my student visa.

[MouadsWife 161]

Copies of his passport are not required, and you will wan tto send in (2) passport photoes. You may want to send copies of chats or letters you both send each other. But as I was reading your checklist I noticed you said G325 x 4. Its been a few months, almost 4 since I mailed mine, and I thought it was 3. No matter, I sent what what required from looking at the checkoff list. But just wondering if I remembered incorrectly, or was it 3 or had it always been 4. Hummmmmm.....
