Fiance Letter of Intent and Form G-325A

[Burk 0]

Hello all, this site indicates that we should submit a Fiance Letter of Intent and provides an example. I've never heard of anything like this required in the initial application. My finance is in Ecuador and I am getting ready to submit the initial application. I even looked at Nolo's guide and it mentions nothing like this. Is this required or absolutely necessary for a smooth process?

Second, this may have been covered but does my fiance need to sign the G-325A or can she sign this at the interview. No instructions on this either. Is there a memo on this or something.

Any insight, direction, etc., would be greatly appreciated.

All the best, Burk

Then the first thing you do is throw out "Nolo's guide" and read the I-129F instructions again. Study section 5 more carefully.

There have been cases of people not including the letter of intent and still got approved. So, it's your call.

Check out the guide http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

Pretty straight forward, I just missed it. Darn, I will have to ask her to send me her statement via snailmail. Thank you very much.

She has to sign the G-325A now, not at the interview.

This is NOT correct and the USCIS memo stating the foreign fiancee or spouse can sign the G325a at the Consulate has been posted numerous times here. That said, if the OP is having the fiancee mail a signed letter of intent, she might as well send a signed G325a in the same package.

When my fiance and I put together our I-129f package we followed the guide here, and number 9 on the checklist is: 'G-325A filled out by the foreign fiance(e) signed and dated (see example).'

Also, if you check out the instructions for form I-129f you'll see that it is said there that you need to have "a completed and signed Form G-325A for you and a completed and signed Form G-325A for your fiancé(e)."

And while maybe there is such a memo, I just thought that it's always better to be one the safe side and follow the instructions they give you.

I agree with you about what's better. Nevertheless the fact is, a signed G325a from a foreigner residing abroad, is not REQUIRED. You said it was. It isn't, period.

I did not send a letter of intent with my initial petition and I was approved without getting an RFE. It really just depends on who is adjudicating your petition.Good luck on your journey!!!!

The instructions are very clear. Yes some have omitted this but the instructions are very clear...Send in the letter.

Why is this a question? Why is it a problem to do?
