Hi guys, so I finally sent in my application, I'm still doing a personal head scan making sure I sent everything.

my checklist included:

-cover letter

-the application to receive the emails and text message notification

-the $340 money order

-I-129f application

-supplement to question 18

-passport picture of me, attached to form g325a and my letter of intent

-same for my fiance

-naturalization certificate

-copies of my passport showing proof of going to haiti

-boarding passes, tickets, receipts, etc.

-pictures with dates and names

-33 pages of call log from an online phone company

-facebook messages

-emails between myself and a hotel owner in haiti, discussing my plans for our pre wedding honeymoon, in december(if that's any help)

-about 2 months worth of phone cards- about 250 of them

and I think that's about it.

I sent it on wednesday though fedex, so they should receive it in on monday or tuesday.

also I sent it to the lewisville, texas location since fedex is a courrier.

feedbacks, would be great at this point...tell me what you guys think!!!

1. Payment as required by USCIS. Use a personal check so you can track the payment. Money Orders are also accepted.

2. Cover Letter (see example). Should include a description of what your are petitioning for (I-129F), a table of contents (list everything in the packet). If you need additional room to explain your case, attach a separate sheet (list the attachment on the cover sheet). Make sure to sign and date the cover sheet.

3. Form I-129F: Petition for Alien Fiance(e) (see example)

4. Declaration of how you met in person in the last two years. This should be a single typed page regarding question 18 of the I-129F. Make sure to sign and date it.

5. Original statements (from both the US Citizen and foreign fiance) certifying an intent to marry within 90 days of entering the US on a valid K-1. (see example)

6. Proof of having met in past two years. (click here for examples)

7. G-325A filled out by the US Citizen signed and dated (see example).

8. One passport-type photo (see specification) of the US Citizen. Write the full name of the US citizen on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert US Citizen's Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a.

9. G-325A filled out by the foreign fiance(e) signed and dated (see example).

10. One passport-type photo (see specification) of the foreign fiance(e). Write the full name of the foreign fiance(e) on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of (insert foreign fiance(e) name) ". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a.

11. Copy of the Birth certificate (front and back) for the US Citizen or a copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport issued with a validity of at least 5 years or a copy of the US Citizen's naturalization certificate (front and back). This is used to establish citizenship.

12. Copy of final Divorce Decree(s) or Certificate(s) for the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance(e) if either has been previously married. If the previous marriage of the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance(e) ended due to the death of their spouse then include a Copy of Death Certificate(s) documenting that fact.

13. Proof of Legal Name Change if either the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance(e) is using a name other than that shown on the relevant documents. You must give USCIS copies of the legal documents that made the change, such as a marriage certificate, adoption decree or court order.

14. In regards to Section C Question 2, if applicable provide certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for any specified conviction(s) (in accordance with the IMBRA). See section 9 of the I-129f instructions for more information.

*Please note, while you are allowed to submit an I-134 Affidavit of Support with the I-129F package, it is not required and the embassy may eventually request that you submit the same information again to ensure that it is still valid. Typically the I-134 Affidavit of Support will be filled out by the US Citizen and sent to the fiance(e) for the K1 interview. It is not required to be sent to the Service Center with the I-129F (and not recommended). Some Consulates require extra information to be included with the Affidavit, so you need to hang onto it until you have learned whether or not there are additional requirements. These will be listed on the OF-167 "financial support" document the fiance(e) receives from the Consulate. You can also refer questions to the newsgroup about experiences regarding the Affidavit. (Also go and look at question 4.3.1)

FAQ Note about evidence of having met in person. You need to send copies of evidence that you and your fiance(e) have met personally within the previous two years. Items such items as photos, copies of passport stamps, copies of airline tickets, help prove this. In the past many petitioners faced a delay when the USCIS (INS) sent them a request for additional evidence or information. In addition, the I-129F indicates the USCIS (INS) wants "original statements" from the US Citizen and foreign fiance(e) regarding mutual intent to marry within 90 days, plus "copies of any evidence you wish to submit to establish your mutual intent". ("Original statements" can be a simple letter stating that you do indeed intend to marry within 90 days. Each of you can write such a letter, or a single letter can be written and signed by both of you. See an example here)

when I look at all the phone cards I use..I can't believe it...we have to talk for atleast 2 hours a day. in the beggining it was like atleast 4hours, realized how expensive it was and we cut down...but now I'm trying to find a better solution. but the pre-wedding honeymoon, is for jacmel, since he won't be able to travel emmidiately after the wedding, we thought why not before the wedding...it really only matter to us...lol...we would definitely be enjoying it...lol..but vj members have been very helpful I can't complain. :dance:
