The letter of Intent was supplied with your Original 129-F. Yes, I strongly reccommend a New updated Letter of Intent and signed in ink by the Petitioner for your interview. I'm sure others will agree.

:thumbs:

From what I understand the initial Letter of Intent and then providing a second updated one at interview shows an ongoing commitment and therefore evidence of ongoing relationship.

Mar 2011 - After 5mths denied for lost docs - Attempts to follow up failed. Mar 18 2012 - I-129F sent - No sign of NOA1 but they have banked the check...Jul 24 - Update - USCIS has located our file
Infopass Apt - they sorted through everything - our 2011 and 2012 file keep getting mixed up - getting us a Case# (still waiting) Dec- Infopass Appt- expecting to get a case # in about a week ..Still no Case number

Mar 2013 Infopass - advised file was in a box somewhere,and it would be quicker for us to refile. Life gets in the way... New petition submitted July 2014 .

No. Worry about the actual requirements listed in the K-1 interview packet, and on the website for the embassy/consulate that will conduct the interview.

NO ? Humme'... A k-1 interveiw packet ?

Proof of a ongoing relationship is required and not talking for 3 months and not showing proof is a red flag to the consulate.

The interview will focus majorly on the Petitioners ability to support and intentions for his future spouse to obtain her Visa. So It is suggested that the Petitioner supply a NEW Letter of Intent for her Interview.

There is no such thing as a K-1 Interview Packet. Those Mole Hills were already jumped.

The NEW Letter of Intent pays a positive effect to the Consulate along with supportive documents of a on going relationship.

It is COMMON SENSE and is a persons choice.

What is proof of a ongoing relationship and tells the Consulate again (though your Guildlines maynot say so) You intend to Marry within 90 days.

I never mix-up Common Sense with Guildlines from VJ and never swayed by Remarks from Others.

In the end: It is the Burden of Proof of the Petitioner/Beneficiary to prove the relationship and not YOUR PERSONAL / and/or Guildlines your read here.

So Crusty, T-Bone. With that said: Are you saying it would not be beneficial to include a New Intent Letter? And don't tell me: No. If you do, you are not thinking of the OP but reading to much and lost your Common Sense.

There are haters here and other Members watch what we write to help them. Don't get caught-up in your attitudes.

The question was, where in this thread did anyone say anything about "not talking for 3 months." You avoided answering that.

The question was, where in this thread did anyone say anything about "not talking for 3 months." You avoided answering that.Calling people names is a violation of the VJ TOS. And please avoid assigning "attitude" to people who are accustomed to reading accurately and responding accordingly.

Your first question: Never was mentioned in the post from the OP but assume there was no communication for a period of time and the beneficiary shows for an interveiw for a Visa. (There could be a good cause for this and just a posibility) A supportive Document such as a New Letter of Intent would help suffice the Consulate.

#2 Question. Stop crying.. No one downed you. You always throw sticks and stones at me but it does not help the OP when you fight with me. I violated no TOS. Honesty is the best policy and I think as a benefit to the OP your advice is wrong. Thats not a violation. Thats my thought as a Member here. Sit back in your chair and think back when you just started this process and put yourself in a New-Bee's shoes. I'm a New-Bee myself. We don't need attitudes, we need sound advice.

I would bring one just in case.

I was not asked for one at my interview, but it is one thing VJ suggests bringing so I did.

No. Worry about the actual requirements listed in the K-1 interview packet, and on the website for the embassy/consulate that will conduct the interview.

From the K-1 Interview Packet for Manila, and yes there is an interview packet.

"j. EVIDENCE OF A GENUINE ENGAGEMENT. You must be prepared to prove to the consular officer that you have a genuine relationship with your petitioner and a clear intention to marry within 90 days of admission into the U.S. In the past, successful applicants have submitted photographs, letters, e-mails, phone records, bank records, and remittance records as evidence supporting their relationships and intent to marry."

Doesn't say you need or must have a specific "letter of intent". But if you take one, that's up to you. We did not see the need to take one, did not take one, and did not get asked for one. As a matter of fact, other than the documents required to be presented to the screeners at the interview (DS-XX, NBI, Cenomar, etc., etc.)the only supporting document that was asked for was one photograph with the three of us together.

Oh PS:During the interview, my fiancee had to reaffirm that she understood we must marry within 90 days of her entry in the US.
