Right guys so been doing lots and lots of research and I've come to the conclusion, we don't need an attorney to do this for us!

Is this good for the initial petition?

Cover letter, signed by my US fiance,

2 letters from both of us declaring our intent to marry within the 90 days

2 US-specification photographs from both of us, signed and dated on the back

I-129f

2 biographical data forms from both of us

the e-confirmation receipt form

all our collected evidence, boarding cards, passport stamps, receipts, photos etc

the fee 340 dollars

How does that sound, am I missing anything ?

Thanks! Claire
