We're putting ours together now and it's turning out to be quite long (currently 60+ and growing). I'm just curious how many pages other people ended up sending in their first I-129f application package??

April 23 2010 -- I-129f sent

April 27 2010 -- check cashed, NOA1 dated

Aug 2, 2010 -- touched

Aug 13, 2010 -- date of NOA2, I-129F approved

Aug 17, 2010 -- NVC sent application to embassy

Sept 2, 2010 -- Medical

Sept 7, 2010 -- Receive checklist from embassy

Sept 7, 2010 -- Hand-deliver packet to embassy

Sept 30, 2010 -- Receive notice of interview date

Oct. 4, 2010 -- Interview!

We printed out about 70 pages of various skype/email/msn/facebook logs, which may be overkill but it's also a lot of undeniable proof that we know each other. We had 6 photos, 5 pages of airline ticket copies, a few more of letters/cards, and then all the necessary official forms and letters and their attachments, as noted in the guides here. So it was a pretty hefty packet in the end. I think you're in the right ballpark :)

  • 02/16/2010 - i129F sent
  • 02/22/2010 - NOA1
  • 04/20/2010 - NOA2 (hardcopy on 4/22)
  • 09/23/2010 - Interview
  • 09/28/2010 - Returned with police cert
  • 10/14/2010 - Went back to consulate to redo fingerprints
  • 10/18/2010 - Received visa! POE same day
  • 10/22/2010 - Wedding <3

We did a similar thing with chat logs, photos and skype calls, I don't even remember how many pages were involved at this point. The final packet was over an inch and half thick, and I was more than content with the overkill - overkill is good, it means you didn't miss anything. The fun part was censoring out the chat logs for content involving my husband's work, for which we're both under NDA. No-one complained about it, that's for sure.

We had airline tickets and receipts for rings, a letter from the minister who had agreed to perform our ceremony, a letter of permission to use the premises we had picked out (Te lunch hall where my husband works. Laugh if you want, but it was free and there was free soda after the ceremony :P)... anything we could think of throwing in there due to our mutual over-active paranoia.

About 70 pages. All the letters and forms incl. 1 extra sheet on my G-325A (for employment history), 2 sheets for my fiance's birth certificate, 3 sheets with my former marriage and divorce decree and the rest was evidence of having met/ proof of ongoing relationship incl. scans of passport stamps and boarding passes, 6 photos printed on 3 sheets with names, dates and places, and finally a couple of shortish yahoo chat logs.

Depends where you're from, as your profile doesn't say, but some embassies you're best advised to front-load your petition, meaning you provide as much evidence as you can with the I-129F. This is because everything you send gets forwarded to the interviewing embassy from the NVC (even if they don't need/ use it for your petition approval itself) and some of the higher fraud level embassies seem to prefer being prepared rather than accepting proof of relationship at interview. Others, like London, seem to focus more on the financial support aspect which you don't present until interview.
