My Fiancee's declaration read:

Petitioner:

** Name & DOB **

United States Department of Homeland Security

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

Dear Sir or Madam:

I, **Fiancé Name**, do hereby state and declare that I am of age and legally able and willing to marry, **Name** and intend to do so within 90 days of my arrival into the United States using the K-1 visa.

I further declare the provided G-325A bibliographic form is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of The United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct.

Dated this ____ day of June, 2011 in _____________, Philippines.

(Signature)

**Fiancé Name**

- - - -

Documents, wherever possible carried captions which included the name of the petitioner (me), DOB of petitioner, and name of the alien fiancée and DOB of alien fiancée.

My approach and mentality in all of this was simple: These are reviewed by overworked govenment employees. I wanted my I-129F to be clean, simple and EASY to read. The declaration should be straight forward. No fluff. Nothing hidden.

Maybe it will not work for everyone, but this is what I did.

Best of luck to you all.

Congrats on your NOA2 ! you did a good job. My Fiance also did organize all his paper works and supporting papers. He mentioned that it was very pleasant and easy to check for the Screener. I think that helped a lot plus prayer. We got our NOA2 only 98 days from NOA1. We actually didn't expect it. I got my visa now but still wish I could stay longer here as I have so many important things to do yet. Anyway, that's how it is. Good luck on the rest of your journey ! and God bless !

I notice you have almost 5 months from NOA2 to Interview. Can I ask for the reason for delay? I would like to move this along as quickly as possible, and maybe even have my fiancée here by Christmas.
