LETTER OF INTENT

[Lari & Jhona 0]

Hey guys..

So i was again going through my stacks of papers that I sent to

file my petition.I notices that both letter of intent to get married once in US are

still in my damn folder...argghhhhhhhhhhhh :bonk:

Now here's my question..

If I do get an RFE and they actually ask for those letters that I mistakenly forgot to send

could i send those exact letters or do I need new ones with a fresh date of RFE? :(

Please help me as I am half way into the waiting time.lol

Should i be expecting an RFE?

Any answer and help would be appreciate it.

thank you in advance. :yes:

and am glad i found you guys.

I don't know how valuable it is but I'd say be proactive and not reactive. Do not wait until you get an RFE. You should call USCIS and explain, let them tell you what to do. You might be able to send the letter to them with a copy of your NOA 1 as an addendum.

Since it is likely that your petition will not be adjudicated still for about 2 more months, you could have your fiace send you freshly signed copy of the letter of intent. You could be prepared for when you receive the RFE. However, other VJ members have said that their petitions have been approved despite their lack of letter of intent so it would depend on the judgment of the particular adjudicator. I do not think you could send the letters to "join" your original packet and petition without a RFE, but let us know if you are successful. Best wishes!

I don't work for USCIS- but I don't think you would get an RFE if you were missing the letter, as long as you demonstrate you are in a relationship and have an intent to marry (pictures, letters, both submitting the supporting docs for application, etc.). So, try not to stress about it! Nobody can be "perfect", we don't even know what a perfect packet would be, everyone does something different. And most people say they worried too much about something out of their control!

I know it sounds nuts.. but spend your time shopping for wedding dresses, and let your packet do its thing.

I wouldn't go crazy about it. Cases have been approved without it. In actuality its really up to the USCIS Agent reviewing your case...they all judge things case-by-case. If you have enough "legit" evidence establishing a real relationship, then the letter probably will not matter as much. But if you are missing a lot of things, then it may be a problem.

Have you called them yet? Please give us the update.

Whatever you do, don't take the advice given from the USCIS misinformation line. Hold on to the letters until you get an RFE for them. Really! Trust me on this.!

Si, man. Also, receiving an RFE is a golden opportunity to send even more (more recent) evidence of bona fide relationship, along with what the RFE asks for.

I would have to disagree (politely) with the last two posts. Here's why:

When I sent my form in back in September, I just JUST the I-129F and the fee. I didn't understand the directions and my 'packet' was severely lacking. There is NO way they would have approved my petition without proof of citizenship, proof of having met, etc.

So when I realized this in January, everyone on VJ said to wait for the RFE. USCIS even told me this. However, I was so stressed I was going to be denied, that I made copies of my entire packet, and I mailed that to my Service Center with a copy of my NoA1 on top.

Then, I got notice my case was updated. I was approved. I know they matched my paperwork up with my petition because there is no way humanly possible to have approved me based on just the one single form.

So my suggestion is make a copy, and mail it in to your service center with a copy of your NoA1 on top. Worst case scenario is they don't match it up, and you get an RFE for the letters. You're also out the postage price. Best case scenario is that they match it up with your petition like they did for mine, and your case does not get an RFE for those letters.

That's just my experience. It's worth a shot if you ask me. Being proactive about my missing paperwork is what got me approved and saved me from getting an RFE or a denial. Good luck!
