[rocky350 0]

hi guys! i was just wondering what will i write here, with the letter affirming to marry? its like letter of intent, similar with the first one we did or passed together with the I-129f form.

Yup...It's just like the first one. Just update it. Tell them you are still planning to get married.

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

Why write another one? What's wrong with the one in the original packet?

Hello there ! just wanna know, is this still required during interview? the fact that we are still continuing with the process, it just mean that we are going to marry when I finally get to the USA, and this is the purpose of getting a K-1 visa. Just curious because I don't have an updated copy of the letter. Please clear this... thank you !

As far as I know and understand the required documentations as stated in the link below. (partly mentioned in g ) and as per experiences I had widely read from fellow VJ's and as written guide here in VJ. The letter of intent to marry dated close to the interview is really needed. There are really a lot of redundant things in the process but we can't do anything but to religiously abide with what should be lawfully done other than be sorry afterwards

they want the another letter of intent to marry close to the interview as a proof of your genuine intent to marry and the ongoing support of the k1. Well, its pretty much D**b to think of knowing that like what prior statement was said here, going through the whole visa process means our deep intent to really marry...Oh well...it's really is a journey in this visa thing LMAO

But it says nothing about a letter of intent to marry, updated or not. That was in the original I-129F packet sent to USCIS.

Not needed. Worry about the listed requirements first.

The following is from the "Required Documents" section of the eligibility letter which the USEM sends to the beneficiary:

k. EVIDENCE OF A GENUINE ENGAGEMENT. You must be prepared to show documents that you have a genuine relationship with your petitioner and a clear intention to marry. Letters, e-mails, phone records, bank records, photographs, or other evidence of a genuine fiancé(e) relationship should be submitted.

This is why the consular officer can ask for updated letters of intent to marry.

Like lola says...It's better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it.

Time for a poll: Has anyone ever been asked to show a letter of intent to marry from the petitioner during the interview stage?

Wife says, "No, they did not."

Well, in my experience in dealing with the government (for over 18 years now), you give ONLY what is asked for or required. I only put in my I-129F exactly what was asked for, and was approved. The requirements above say nothing about a letter of intent to marry, that was required in the I-129F. If it makes someone feel better to include it, there is nothing wrong in doing so. If the CO at USEM asks my asawa for something that is not in the list, she will simply point out that it is not a required document, or ask them to show her where it is required. There is already WAY TOO MUCH "fluff" people add to the requirements, IMHO.

Well I dont Know if its needed or not needed? the guide on VJ says to do it. Updated Letter of intent to marry. so its not going to hurt anything to do it even if they dont ask for it, you have it anyway. I will have My Fiancee and Myself write one, "Just in case"!

Sometimes the guides are helpful, when they are current (rarely) and sometimes they are not. Mostly the guides here cause more heartburn than they are worth. We never used them and used the information available from the USCIS and the USEM websites.

Out of date, by the way. Use this link to get the current instructions.
