And couldn't be more confused! This is so much information to take in and I don't know where to start. (But the flowchart helped ease my mind a lot) Long story short, my fiance and I met online in a chat room over 10 years ago when we were both kids. We've been talking online ever since. We finally met face to face in the U.S. in October of 2010 (I'm the U.S. citizen, he's from the UK). He's come to visit 5 times since then (we have tons of proof of meeting from pictures and such for later) and we got engaged in April. He'll be moving here with me once this is all said and done, but the whole process is pretty intimidating.

So, I've got the I-129F all filled out and waiting to be sent. But aren't there other forms to send at the same time? Like, the G-325A? And something proving financial support? Some places mention these, but never go into detail, while some never mention them. Please don't get upset, I just want to make sure we do this right the first time. So, basically...what do I put in the envelope when I send the I-129F? Or will I need to worry about the other forms later down the road?

Any advise is welcome! And a huge congrats to everyone on here that's done this and had complete success! And thanks for any help you can give. =]

You don't need to worry about financial support at the stage in the race.

I-129f

G325- for you and him. Passport photos of you and him attached to yours and his g325.

Letter of intent to marry within 90days of entry into the US signed by you and him. So there will be two letters.

Cover letter

Evidence of meeting within two years of filing your petition. Plane ticket subs, copies of passport entry stamps, hotel receipts. Photos are secondary evidence, make sure you have the date stamps on them, if you don't put a sticker on the back of each photo wi the date and place you were at the time of the photo.

Read the guide, example forms of cover letter and letter of intent is in there. Make it look the same and you should be good. We also added a letter of how we meet. Like a written timeline of our meeting a relationship all the way up to filing the petition.

The financial support will need to be given at the time of the interview.

Read the guides, I did, and now my wife is here with me.

; it seems intimidating, but if you read the guides a couple of times, you'll notice that it isn't that hard.

too much information in the beginning, but just read them through and you know what to do :thumbs:

If you have any questions after reading the Guides, don't hestitate to ask :star:
