Letter of Intent to Marry

[S and P 9]

I was looking on this site for a sample letter of intent to marry..... found it..... but I'm not clear on one thing...... do we BOTH need to write a letter of intent? or just the US citizen??

Thanks !!

Both of u need to write a letter of intent..

Yup both. Then when its closer to the interview time, the USC needs to write a new one and send it, along with the other documents needed, to the beneficiary for the interview.

Thank you!! I was confused because the Montreal checklist just said letter form Petitioner dated within 90 days....I'm so glad I found this place with people who've actually gone through or are going through the process....there are so many confusing and conflicting instructions on all the "Official" websites....

both of you need to write letters of intent and signed.

Yea Montreal requests a second updated letter thats worded a little differently from the first one. My interviewer actually compared both letters and read them both out loud at my interview.

Uh oh, now I'm worried! I have an updated letter of intent, but it's basically the same thing my original one said. The only thing that's different is that the date's close to my interview.

I think the requirement for the 2nd letter of intent is that it has to be signed within 30 days of the interview. They did't compare the ones I provided.

Here's a sample for those who might need one :

CITY NAME, DATE

United States Department of Homeland Security

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

Consulate General of the United States of America

1155, rue Saint-Alexandre

Montreal, QC H3B 3Z1

CANADA

Dear Sir or Madam,

I, YOUR NAME, do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry FIANCE(E)'S NAME, and intend to do so within 90 days of my arrival into the US using the K-1 visa.

Yours truly,

YOUR SIGNATURE

YOUR NAME

Excellent, that's almost exactly what mine says. Thank you!

Does Montreal require one from me as well, or just my fiance?

just from the US citizen.

I had both mine and my fiance's ready but they only asked for his letter. They had me sign a form which says that you will marry your fiance within 90 days of your arrival so they don't need the applicant's.

That was what I assumed. You obviously have to sign a form, but the actual letter of intent they need from the USC.

All of the earlier posts had me very confused, my lawyer only asked my Fiancé to (when the time comes) sign the letter of intent.

Good to know, thanks very much.

I was only asked for my fiance's letter. I had never seen anything about a letter for the applicant until this thread. I dont think its necessary, but who knows!
