Intent to marry letter.

[Anastasia+Eric 0]

Hi everyone!

 When we sent our k1 visa application to USCIS, we included an intent to marry letter, but it was written by my fiancé on behalf of both of us. We didn't include a separate letter written by me. Is it enough or they can ask us to send them one more intent to marry letter?

Thanks.

I am not sure if that would do but most people write a total of two letters for the I-129F. Both the foreign fiancee and the USC must sign and date the letters.

I hope this doesn't result to an RFE.

All the best!

I forgot to do this before I left Colombia so we used DHL for her to send me this signed in BLUE ink by my fiancee in Colombia so they can see it is original and not a faxed copy.It was worth the $35.00 to not get a possible and likely RFE for not having this as part of my petition.. They specifically ask for a seperate letter of intent from each of you and signed by each of you..Not one person signing both. You will be RFE'd for this so I suggest you have one sent so if and when the RFE comes you have it on hand to send right back to them ...

But my fiancé called them (few months ago) and they said we would only hear after 60 days if they needed more information, otherwise they would just send us their decision. It's been more than three months and we haven't heard anything from them.

You already have your NOA1. Give the USCIS a little more time. Five months is the normal processing time for I-129F. You will either receive an RFE or your NOA2.

Thanks!! I hope we'll get NOA2 soon not RFE.

We only sent one...I wrote it from the USA and my husband (then fiance) did not need to send one. We also had an immigration attorney and they did not advise us to send one from my husband. I think you'll be fine with just sending the one.

USCIS Website

From the website instructions on filing for your I-129F Visa Section 5B:

Provide original statements from you and your fiancé(e) whom you plan to marry within 90 days of his or her admission, and copies of any evidence you wish to submit to establish your mutual intent; and

Hopefully they won't force it, but it was in the instructions to have a letter from both of you. Most of the forms on the site have an Adobe file you can download to your PC. I would download what you are going to need and keep it around for future reference! I followed those directions and the directions on this site, and I am STILL paranoid I missed something.

Ok! Lets assume you get an RFE for not having 2 seperate Letters of Intent .. What are you going to do then? You will need to then have one sent overseas from your fiancee. This could add weeks on to your process not to mention there is only a certain ammount of time you have to reply to an RFE.. As I suggested have one sent to you as an insurance policy if you get an RFE.. Which is likely to happen.. I am offering helpful advice to you and not trying to bring you down.. Better to be ready than sorry you weren't........ If you read the instructions it says ONE from you and ONE from your Fiancee...Signed and dated...

  We've gotten our approval of the visa petition today!! Yay! And we didn't send them "intent to marry" letters!! So everything was fine even without these letters!

The instructions specifically ask for separate letters:

B. Provide original statements from you and your fiancé(e) whom you plan to marry within 90 days of his or her admission, and copies of any evidence you wish to submit to establish your mutual intent; and

So, you'll most likely get an RFE asking for the other letter, so have it ready to submit if you are RFEed. Thoroughly reading the instructions and Following The GUIDES is in most peoples' best interests. (I should know because I didn't also but so far so good.)
