Hmmm, how does this look?? I've spent awhile trying to prepare it all. Just waiting for Xue Jing to send me a couple more things and then I'll be mailing it in!! So excited!

I just had a few quick questions too:

(1) For the G-325A, for the question: "This form submitted in connection with application for," how do we fill this in??? I thought for myself and Xue Jing, for all 4 copies we "check other" and then write in "I-129F Petition for Fiance." Is this true?? I've read in a couple other places this is how you fill out the first form, but the other 3 you "Check Naturalization" and then write in "I-129F Petition for Fiance." Any help??????

(2) For this petition, what, if anything, has to be notarized?? (Is it just our personal statements saying we intend to marry??)

(3) The I-129F and G-325A's will be signed and dated. But for all the other copies, evidence, etc, does EVERY PAGE have to be signed and dated??? For example, the I-129F question 18 supplement will many pages. Does EVERY PAGE need to be signed and dated at the bottom, or just sign and date the final page of the supplement??

Kind of in the same vain, will every copied email need to be signed and dated?? For example, at the end of the email write something to the effect, "This email was sent by Dan to Xue Jing July 3 and Xue Jing replied July 4. This is a copy of our actual email and I certify it to be legitimate. (sign my name) (date it).

Any thoughts?????????

(4) ***For people with a Fiance in China*** How did you/should I fill in her address?? It's not the same as an address in America. For all her address's should I just say see separate supplement and then write out her address the way they would in China. For example:

China, Beijing 100083

Hai Dian Qu

Dong Wang Zhuan, 10 Hao Lou, 232

Okay, I'm getting there Any help or suggestions that could be offerred would be much appreciated. Thank you all. Take Care!!

Thank you so much Devilette! I definitely appreciate your help and suggestions. And I must say, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE APPROVAL!! I hope everything can go very smoothly for you and your fiance, and I wish you all the best.

Hmmm, does anyone have any experience entering addresses in China into the forms?? I need to enter my address I had while living over there, as well as all my fiance's addresses??

Thanks Alot!

You're welcome & thank you! It's an amazing feeling.

If your addresses don't fit, attach a separate sheet (titled) & write 'see attached sheet' in the blank.
