Double Check these: G-325-A's are signed in INK.

Passport's in Color/Cover to Cover/EVEN BLANK PAGES.. (And Covers)

Letter of Intent signed in INK

BirthCerts in Best Picture/Preferably Color (Best Copy)

Send 2 Passport Style Photos and not 1. Thats a guess! ( I sent 2 of each of us) attached to the 325.

Just double check. Good luck.

I think you're good to go..haha about the photos, i'm not quite sure if it's okay but my fiance also did that, he just printed out pages of photos on a normal paper... but IDK if it's okay cuz we're still also waiting for our NOA2 now. Anyhow, all the other stuff are good. (I think) hehe Good luck!!! The waiting sucks but it's worth it!

They prefer Color Paper Prints and not the real pictures. Date, and tell a small story about the picture: Where you were, who's in the picture. Etc.

So the photos are okay?? hehe:) it was just printed out on a normal paper. lol and also he only sent one copy of passport-style photos.. and uhm, my birth cert was not sent along with the forms lol we're screwed haha oh well We'll just wait and see lol

[IrishTerrier42 1]

I was other the impression that you only needed to copy your entire passport if you are using it as proof of citizenship. (Like, if you don't have a birth certificate for some reason.) I'll copy the rest of it though, just to be sure. Thanks for the advice!

A birth Cert is a requirement for a Passport.

[IrishTerrier42 1]

A birth Cert is a requirement for a Passport.

Fair point - I'm not exactly sure how that would work then. I've just looked it up again though, and the instructions do say that you should either include a copy of your birth certificate OR a copy of your full passport. I'll just do both though, it can't hurt!

Yes, you only to need to copy the entire passport if you are using it in place of your birth certificate. Since you are not, just the pages that show your passport stamps are fine. You might want to add the bio page just to show it is indeed your passport. If you have boarding passes that coincide with the dates of the stamps, all the better. Also, make sure to copy your birth certificate front and back.

And, you only need one passport photo each.

Yea, that's what i thought. Thanks for clearing that up!

I just have a few more questions now.

1.) Do the passport photos really have to be to be taken within the last six months? My fiancé's was only taken about a month ago - but mine is about three years old at this stage. I look pretty much the exact same now as I did then, but should I still get a new one?

2.) The affidavit of support is not included in this packet, correct? When will that be needed by?

3.) Concerning the proof I have, is there anything else that I should add or take away? (I feel as if some of the things I've listed might be unnecessary ... but I'm not sure!)

[didopage 337]

Better take new photos, 3 years old is too much and it's better to follow the instructions.

No affidavit of support in the petition package, it will be used for the interview.

Concerning the proof, not sure if I read it in your list, but do you have copies of boarding passes?

1) Yes, you should get a new one taken. You can also use a site like this: http://www.epassportphoto.com/

2) No, the I-134 is not sent yet. That will be needed for your fiance's visa interview some months down the road after the I-129F petition is approved.

3) Anything used to prove you were together in person in the same place within the last 2 years before filing is good to send. The main evidence of this would be the passport stamps and boarding passes. The other evidence you have that puts you there is also good. The photos together just help show you were there together during the times your passport stamps/boarding passes show you were in Ireland. If your fiance has visited you in the US during the last 2 years, copies of his passport stamps and boarding passes could be used as well.

CONGRATS!

I am mailing my I-129F packet on Monday too. I'm actually putting together the package tonight and just came online to double check my stuff too!

I might have to save your name and see how your process goes. I didn't actually live with my fiancee overseas and I have never lived in her country, so I might have a harder time But it sounds like your proof of the relationship is pretty solid and the rest is all just going to be paperwork.

Good luck!

Good luck! I see she is Moldavian, send her my regards.
